Couldn't it be a symbol for everlasting life, like an everlasting note? The ability to extend the lifespan?

Technically it's still a fermata, even facing that direction. This is the way fermatas are drawn when placed below notes rather than above. For example, on the bass part of a vocal piece, or on the left hand of a piano score.

Of course, it is more commonly seen above notes, in its "right-side-up" form. So it was an interesting choice to "flip" it. It could just be to make it less obvious as a musical symbol, or there could be more symbolism to it.

It also bears a striking resemblance to an eye, which is a symbol the Order seems to be quite fond of -- the OpAphid branch in particular. In fact, the fermata symbol is sometimes informally called a "bird's-eye". Well, that's how it was introduced to me in grade-school piano lessons, anyway. :)

The hymn of one symbol looks like an illuminati symbol upside-down. Surprisingly, if you saw the documentary on the Jesus tomb, it looks exactly like that symbol upside-down.
