Oh, foolish King of Xerxes, you seek immortality
The means to your end- forsaking morality
The price The lives of those that you rule
A worthy sacrifice to pay the toll
You’ve taken the bait
A lust for power has sealed your fate
Scribed throughout the sands of these tainted lands
Alchemic sigils weave my twisted web of deceit
You’ve been ensnared, your life now fodder for my flame
Hands reach forth from beyond the gate, to collect my offering
[Solo- Sanjay Kumar]
[Solo- Phil Tougas]
The all seeing eye, it beckons me
Into a realm, mere mortals dare not see
I'm called into the void, once more I see the truth
The apex of all space and time
Finally at long last- I shall abandon this flask
The land falls silent as millions are sacrificed
Granting me fathomless power and eternal life
The limits of my abilities are unknown
A living philosopher’s stone
[Solo- Nick Padovani]
The limits of my abilities are unknown
A living philosopher’s stone
