__TOC__

== Comments ==
• The Title “I Saw Through Platonia” most likely refers to the concept by British Physicist Julian Barbour called the realm of Platonia, an infinite timeless landscape which contains every possible arrangement and configuration of the universe.

• Through out the track, a beat that largely resembles a Heart beat can be heard, up until the track abruptly ends.

== Samples / Lyrics ==
• The sound at the end of the track seems to be a Carrier wave signal, a Carrier wave is a steady high-frequency electromagnetic waveform which serves as a base to “carry” lower-frequency information from a transmitter to a receiver.

== Trivia ==
• The melody in this track shares a slight resemblance to the melody in “[[R35TT B01]]”.

The Word Becomes Flesh

{{Infobox Song|
| name=The Word Becomes Flesh
| runtime=5:20
| appearson=[[Inferno]]}}

__TOC__

== Comments ==
• The track title is a direct biblical reference to verse 1:14 of
the book of John, “The Word became Flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the on and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

== Samples / Lyrics ==
<blockquote>
The head of the embryo grows forward and the gut elongates rearward 
The neural folds meet in the brain region, but fuse 
At this stage, four pairs of somites, blocks of mesodermal tissue, have formed 
As the head of the embryo grows forward 
The head fold further undercuts its anterior end 
The neural folds fuse to form new sets 
Anterior end develops into a three-part brain 
Early structures of the eye are now prominent 
Meanwhile 
The embryo develops in an equally exciting manner 
In this later stage 
And the small embryo is already visible 
As a light-colored disk 
Soon, blood vessels appear outside the embryo 
The heart develops and begins to beat 
The pattern of blood vessels over the egg expands 
Supplying the embryo with food and oxygen and removing waste 
As the embryo grows, the brain, eyes, and other structures develop 
Soon, a vigorously beating heart is pumping blood throughout the complex embryo 
Which is rapidly developing into a mature organism 
The blastoderm, the area pellucida, is translucent because it is over a liquid 
And the white of the egg 
Vessels over the yolk expands 
Some of the albumen becomes thickened and twisted as the egg passes down the oviduct 
These rope-like strands, called the chalazae, help to hold the cell in position 
The blastoderm at this stage consists of many cells produced by repeated cell division 
While the egg is still within the organism
