Lyrics Alchemic Web of Deceit - Equipoise

Alchemic Web of Deceit

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
