It was great to finally have a video where we get to laugh at ourselves as well! "If you've ever met the band, you would know were not always as serious as our music may let on. "The title and lyrics of 'Gates Of Horns And Ivory' were inspired by the ancient Greek text The Odyssey. "It is said that within dreams should you see something enter through gates made of horn you can know it to be true in life. If the gates are ivory, that it is a deception, and in life you should not trust whatever you saw come through those gates. "It's a very interesting concept and I adapted it to things I have witnessed in my life. "For the video we decided to use the music industry as the setting for the duality of horn (truth) and ivory (deception).""Eye Of Providence" track listing:01. Gates Of Horn And Ivory02.
