Nine forsaken lives, gathering

Time and its secrets defied

Scrolls, forbidden tomes, summoning

Reading the script, ushering undeath

Brought beyond the brink, maddening

Sought eternal cipher of life

Crack the final seal, sorcery

Obeying the spell, devouring their ancient minds

Fractured consciousness longing for

Rapture, power displayed now, uncovered through death

Lurking shadows & voices rise

Searching, longing for souls to deny, to sate their

Arcane Temptation - Reborn

Ashes of life and the dreams of the colony

Rot, the flesh of disowned

Mind of the hive pushing back, spurning

Arcane Temptation fulfilled

Memories fade while the magic is prospering

Seek: The power to kill

Passing the ritual down to the three who will be chosen

Fractured tentacles draw the lines

Faces scarred and bare

Mucus membrane drained, exposed

Revered in flesh and bone, lichdom

Trap their minds, the chosen jewel

Bound to live as one

Drink the lives and blood, of elves

Sacred ritual
