Alchemic Web of Deceit - Equipoise

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

(Guitar solo by Sanjay Kumar)

The all seeing eye, it beckons me, into a realm mere mortals dare not see

I’m called into the void, once more I’ve seen 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

The limits of my abilities are unknown

A living philosopher’s stone
