rediscovering the wisdom of the ancient ones

esoteric in nature the alchemy of words

through a thousand nightmares on the way to the end

watching the enemy approach on the backs of the dead

tonight the beast will fall in part or whole

a blur of steel and blood a maelstrom of gore

the rhythm of the phrase the philosopher's stone

the tone of the words bring the devil's gold

through a thousand nightmares on the way to the end

watching the enemy approach on the backs of the dead

tonight the beast will fall in part or whole

a blur of steel and blood as good a day as any to die

the syllables have meaning the words gravity

life without consequences nothing is for free

contention the age of iron

the seal of death

the alchemy of war
