the sword
lament for the aurochs
Laboring in the liquid light of leviathan Spectres swarm around the sunken cities of the saurians Rising from the void through the blackness of eternal night Colossus of the deep comes crashing down with cosmic might  And none may see again the shimmering of Avalon Or know the fates of all the races man has cursed Long gone are the ages of the alchemists Now there are none who know the secrets of the earth  Harken to the howl of the huntsman's hounds Or the clarion of kingdoms doomed and drowned Lost to these lands is lore of the high ones Sunless skies await the return of the archons  Lament the passing of the auroch And the slaying of the ancient wyrm Would you dare meet the gaze of the basilisk Or face the flames as the phoenix burns?  And none may see again the shimmering of Avalon Or know the fates of all the races man has cursed Long gone are the ages of the alchemists Now there are none who know the secrets of the earth  Lament the passing of the auroch And the slaying of the ancient wyrm Would you dare meet the gaze of the basilisk Or face the flames as the phoenix burns?
