Prima Materia from LUX by In the Company of Serpents
This is the most simple, direct version of the overarching theme of a fundamental root-essence which runs throughout the rest of the record. It plays with the three iterations of that notion mentioned above: "All is Sound/All is Mind/All is Light" in verses that are meant, on one level, as devotionals. The last part of the tune just lays that all out in caveman terms- "Light pervades all- Prima Materia"

Lyrics
And all is Light
Awash in endless night
Such is the radiance which shines brighter than a million suns
And all is sound
Echoing from the heavens down
Such is the music which resounds, vibrations of the spheres, Kingdom bound
And all is mind
The universal I
Such is the brilliance which abides, the ubiquitous consciousness
Light
Pervades
All
Prima Materia
