Cross genre lyrical world building.

Consider the following.

From Avatar's The King Welcomes You To Avatar Country

I saw a tower of gold
A new dimension unfold
And now I fear for my soul.
Well son, it's already sold

Now, from Genesis' A Trick of The Tail

And so we set out with the beast and his horns
And his crazy description of home
After many days journey, we came to a peak
Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out

We followed his gaze and we thought that maybe we saw
A spire of gold, no, a trick of the eye, that's all
But the beast was gone and a voice was heard

Obviously, these refer to the same hidden city. After the return of the Beast to the City of Gold, the decision was made (after much consideration) that contact was inevitable, so ambassadors should be sent out. To that end, magic was used to create hornless, tailless infiltrators. Avatars, if you will, of the new order coming as the City of Gold prepares to bring us civilization under the enlightened rule of the Horned King.

To whom we will build a statue, of course. Glory to our King.
