The song is based on the legend of how Crater Lake was formed.
Here's the legend:
"When the first Europeans arrived in the Pacific Northwest, they heard a tale from the Klamath people about the creation of Crater Lake. The Native Americans would not gaze upon the lake, for to do so was to invite death. The lake, they said, had been created in a great battle between Llao, who ruled the Below World, and Skell, the chief of the Above World. During the battle, darkness covered the land, and Llao, standing on Mount Mazama, and Skell, on Mount Shasta, threw rocks and flames. The fight ended when Mount Mazama collapsed and sent Llao back into the underworld. Rain filled in the remaining depression, forming a lake in the mountain’s place (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/).";
In the introduction until M.13 - you can hear the theme that represents Skell and the Above World, but lurking between that is the darkness of Llao and the Below World. M. 13-33 explores that darkness and battle between the two forces. M. 33-37 you can hear the darkness echoed by the cellos and basses start to fall apart as it tries to rise, but at the same time, Skell's theme starts to rise a step higher each time from its original form in the violins. At M. 37,the force of good breaks through the force of darkness and Skell prevails in M. 39. M. 42 brings us back to a sense of tranquility as we hear Skell's theme played by a solo cello player.
