“Based on a series of dreams I’ve been having while living on the grounds of a heavily haunted monastery. An otherworldly being would visit me every night for many months telling me the story of her life. How she used to be human, and how she made some wrong choices, and now she wanted her story to be heard. She moved me till the depth of my soul, and I also made an effort to summarize her entire story in words, not just in words set on music.
