Roxas returns to a world overtaken by the Arcanum’s song. The people are hollowed out. Ylias, triumphant, activates the Hymnal Protocol. Roxas flees through the streets as the terrible beauty of the music of the great machine takes hold of his mind. With the last of his will, he consumes the sacred oleander and falls into the dark.

In Mercenarium, Arcanum is a board wipe—sacrificing one unit to destroy everything nearby. It’s total catharsis. In Dragonfruit, it represents collapse, revolution, and the trauma of sudden transformation. The old must be obliterated for the new to begin.

This is the album’s most intense track; a desperate sprint toward silence. Jason Kermit Jennings co-composed it in a fevered session that closed the trilogy (Hymns VIII–X).

LYRICS

If the Dragoon Destiny should come to pass
The stars will tumble down
Fools procuring heroes, more or less
Adrift, and twisting in the wind

Come while you’re young enough to say
Your songs will never go away
Within our glorious array

Synthesizing art
Arcanum of parts
Application, please
Restart

Caught in the chaotic current of souls
Trying to decide if it’s worth it to hold on
And stay strong
Charting the course of truth and remorse
inducing dichotomy, audience, enemy, please

Ctrl + freeze
Ctrl + freeze

Arcanum

Now comes the prophecy. After collapse, after death, after darkness, something new begins. A radiant being—the Purple Fox—will emerge. Androgynous and awake, student and teacher, this entity will shake the Dragoon’s grip on the world of Akash. Ylias will panic. The system will resist. It will not matter.

In Mercenarium, Visionaire is the inverse of The Shade—teleporting your own units into new territory. Send forth your most courageous scout. In Dragonfruit, it represents courage and integrity, as in those brave enough to face uncertainty. Its reversal warns: don’t let your vision become your vanity.

Visionaire is a another glassy track, this time with breakbeat textures composed in collaboration with my oldest creative partner, Baqbeet.

LYRICS

Secondary visionaire
Like there’s something in the air
Commuting systems into solitary
Solutions, like energy in motion
Let it sink into the ocean of design

Visionary eyes are ever useful
In the dark
Lay down, let this verse submit its curses
To the stars
To the stars

Secondary visionary
Prismatic eyes
Calculated, complicated
Ocean of design
Vicious and capricious men have
Only just begun to end and
Soon the runes will synthesize
Our lives

Visionary eyes are ever useful
In the darkness
Lay down, let this verse unleash its curses
To the stars
To the stars
To the stars
To the stars

Visionaire

The night before the ritual that will almost certainly kill her, Raposa receives a vision—not from the poison of Khura’s oleander, but a gentle dream. The spirit of a matronly wolf appears to her. The message is simple and enormous: this life is a gift, even if it ends unfairly.

In Mercenarium, Optimo lets you restructure your entire territory, protecting what’s sacred. In Dragonfruit, it represents genesis, origin, and innocence. You must shelter what matters most, even if you can’t save yourself.

It shimmers with 80s chords and dreamy vocals. A hidden tone lives in the latter third. This was the first track created for The Hymnal, and remains the soul of the record.

LYRICS

Is it all for the fall?

So they say “it’ll pass”
That everything you do, well
They saw it all before
But you see through the veil
Something sounds so good
The same old soul rises
Rises again

I might’ve let it come to this
I’m singing the same set of runes
You see love to be love
To realize that all, only
All you had to do was lose

So what’s the nemesis?
Is it the real thing, or dreams?
Is it even what it seems?
Am I alone? Are you as well?
As far as I can tell
It’s optimal
It’s optimal

You see love to be love
To realize that all, only
All you had to do was lose

Optimo

The Arcani have everything—and still, they want more. Roxas sees their joy fray into desperation, their power feed into fear. Anthromancer watches it all. Ylias calls it a test. But Roxas feels only sickness in the Dragoon Destiny. He speaks his doubts aloud. Ylias tells him to walk alone.

In Mercenarium, Avarice lets you steal mercenaries—even freshly summoned ones—defying normal rules. In Dragonfruit, it symbolizes desire and temptation, but also warns: unchecked craving hollows the soul. True joy fades when consumption becomes the end itself.

Sonically, this is the album’s most accessible track: synth-pop with an 80s beat, regal, haunted, forward-driving. Jason 'Kermit' Jennings co-composed it in a live session that birthed three tracks back to back. Where's the secret tone, though?

LYRICS

Give all you hold to your stars
Form the stories of your halls
Keep them from the cold
I say, to save is suicide
Falling up, there’s nowhere to hide

Inherit this, Avarice
Ignore the stone, you’re all alone
What bliss

So do what you must
Lose what you trust
Use what you’ve got to give 
If justice lives
Then it’s rusted shut with Avarice

It’s all beautiful, what they’ve made fall
So adore, break through, anew
A lonely light, shining bright
Must have roots, or it’s useless

Inherit this, Avarice,
Ignore the stone, you’re all alone

So do what you must
Lose what you trust
Use what you’ve got to give
If justice lives
Then it’s rusted shut with Avarice

Avarice

Here is the moment of integration. The Dragoon replace the Khurathi with the Arcani, and with Ylias’s guidance, they construct the Arcanum—a colossal, circular temple spanning the world. In a ritual of activation, Roxas sheds a drop of blood onto the stone that once killed Khura. From it emerges Anthromancer, his spectral reflection. He names the entity and sends it into the Arcanum to guide the people in Raposa’s memory.

In Mercenarium, Kintsukuroi allows a chain of multiple summons—powerful, if used with intent. In Dragonfruit, it means finding grace in our shattered selves, and using that pain as power to heal. We are shaped not in spite of pain, but through it.

This is the longest and most grounded track on the album. Slow, sparse, and textured with percussive elements that feel like ceramic or metal being worked. There is no hidden tone here. Just honest labor.

LYRICS

In all the known
And all the real
And all the broken fields
Maybe we made
A big mistake
But hold on ’til it seals
So many halls
So many heretics
Falling down, all around
Oh hallelujah
Our faith
Stayed whole
Could it be, that

Even as the worship’s over
Even as the kingdom come
An altruist is
Worth its weight in soul?
Even if the angels come to see
The wicked deeds we’ve done
We can show our
Kintsukuroi gold
We could be so bold

I don’t need your
Gravity holding me down
I am slowly re-bounding
From the edge of all I am
I can see you
Standing there, judging me
Wishing my energy
Would be less demanding
Oh, if the only thing that holds
You to your stars is that they are
Grow. Quit sleeping through
The seasons, deciding from afar
It could be that

Even as the worship’s over
Even as it comes asunder
Altruism’s worth
Its weight in gold
Even if the angels see
The wicked deeds we’ve done
We can forge ourselves a
Kintsukuroi soul
Should we be so bold

Let your faith stay whole
Kintsukuroi gold
Kintsukuroi soul

[FREE DOWNLOAD] Röyksopp - What Else Is There? (Claudio Cornejo (AR) Remix)

IS IT a higher place

B2B2b2b

every LITTLE thing..

Diss is a kind of therapy by art creation. Somehow you feel forced to splash the colours over the big sheet instead of screaming wild of desperateness. 
Nobody is named inside but If you feel addressed by the lyrics then this track is specially dedicated for you.

Lavatory Squad - Red Flags Dance

That’s a real flex, truth in compression,  
Feelings remixed, no fact-check session.  
Masked up player, dancing in panic,  
Peace ain’t the goal — just your reaction mechanic.

Smile so bright, but the storm's inside,  
Plays the victim, takes you for a ride.  
Plans fall quick, blame’s on you,  
Switchin' stories like it’s nothin’ new.

Says "I'm fine", then brings the fire,  
Starts the war, then claims she's tired.  
Loves control, hates to bend,  
Wants your help but not your friend.
 
One day warm, next day cold,  
You play calm — she plays bold.  
Talks like queen, walks like fight,  
Flips the script in the middle of the night.

Acts like peace, but sells the war,  
Tells your friends you slammed the door.  
Needs attention, makes it loud,  
Hates the truth, loves the crowd.
  
Truth don’t matter — just the show.  
You ask why? That’s your first mistake.  
Real ones see — but stay low,  
While red flags dance in a sugarcoat fake.
  
Loves the drama, feeds on doubt,  
Leaves the facts and edits out.  
Every "sorry" comes with spin,  
Game ain't love, it’s how to win.

You bring facts, she brings tears,  
Turns the past to fit her fears.  
Wants respect, throws the shade,  
Builds a trap, then says *you played!*.

That’s a real flex, truth in compression,  
Feelings remixed, no fact-check session.  
Masked up player, dancing in panic,  
Peace ain’t the goal — just your reaction mechanic.

Mythic synthpop for the end of the world.

Anthromancer is the sonic wing of a transmedia myth created by Daniel James Drake—a fusion of game, oracle, and concept album. The debut LP, The Hymnal, scores the fall and rebirth of a fictional civilization, blending icy electronica with poetry into a 13-track spiritual epic.

Our sound is somewhere between The Postal Service, Muse, Aesop Rock, and Nobuo Uematsu, with shades of Röyksopp and our venerable RPG nostalgia. The sound is cinematic, existential, and driven by a hunger to be known.

Support the work through Patreon. Or just listen closely. The secrets are already in the songs.
