Sorrowseed - Arcana Of The Lich Queen Lyrics
By the blackened dawn of balefireThe imperial necropolis towerGuarded by ancient wraiths and specters;Infused, I focus my power.The chemistries of eternal fleshDark runes etched upon the bonesMortality she'd as vestigial skinI have forged my own fate and throne.(Chorus 1):Rise, and serve your Queen!Cast minds aside, and lend might to the machineThe arcane promise of potenceLet the stygian assembly commence.The destiny of my forbearsThose born of charnel bloodlinesTo craft the plagues of death and conquest...The privilege is mine.I have heard the call of the arcanaForbidden by cowards and the weakDread visions have led me through catacombsTo master the deathless techniqueMy flesh despoiled and armoredTattered tendrils and wires, my raimentsThe apocalypse at my fingertipsI set forth to make my ascent.(Chorus 2):Rise and serve your Queen!Cast freedom aside and lend might to the machineThe arcane visions of warfareThe Lich Queen's doctrine declared.Seize the knowledge of artifice and sorceryCarve the pathway to progress in plaguesIgnite siege engines with blood and alchemyCrush souls upon the anvils; prepare to invade!
