All albums were given similar-sounding titles, and the songs consistently contain lyrics in "an allegedly lost language". The volume describes the lyric poetry used as "sacred texts of ancient civilizations" which were " reproduced using a dead language " on the basis of "archaeological research".

“Slow motion drumming meets swirling keyboard carpets, meets filigree piano interludes, angelic choirs, roaring power chords and time and again a crystal clear lead guitar that plays anything but technically demanding, but melodically really moving solos . Then strings come along, at the end EA bring in a real church organ , it all sounds sacred, apocalyptic but also somehow hopeful, very emotional [.] "
