The Serpent's Stone

Towers rise from crystalline frost
Spires crown the stronghold
Archaic power within

Castle gates guarded by wyvern forms
Stone creatures, a specter calling
Ancient walls, mystic and cold

This task, the way now shrouded
An evil presence
Through abandoned courtyards
Looming death

In the highest tower, an emerald glare
Atop a column of marble
The Serpent's Stone

This world is not as you see
Thine mortal paradigm deceased
Fall into the tunnel of eternity

Black magick reckoning

On contact the power revealed
Verdant bolts pierce sanity and steel
Antecedent, imminent
Aeons pass, one thousand stars burn and collapse

So the cosmos unfold
Their secrets and knowledge untold
As space-time unlocks in my soul
I channel the Stone
One with the earth and the stars
My mind soars and travels afar
And so now I see it all clear
I have been betrayed

Awakened, Self-disintegration
Inward, into nothingness
Dimensions unveiled
Outward, infinite passage through time

An answer most foul
The vile conjuror, a foe
Betrayal, the truth
The voice within the Serpent's Stone

Poisonous, Treachory, Traitorous, Deceived
Treaties now made with a long lost dynasty
Generations past, a forgotten scourge
The choice is nigh, a sulfurous pact with The Night

The great bane of Man
An Ancient Power
The Serpent Emperors of old
Dark legends of antiquity
The Dragon Kings shall rise once more
