Arcana Of The Lich Queen Lyrics - Singles - Sorrowseed

By the blackened dawn of balefire 

The imperial necropolis tower 

Guarded by ancient wraiths and specters; 

Infused, I focus my power. 

The chemistries of eternal flesh 

Dark runes etched upon the bones 

Mortality shed as vestigial skin 

I have forged my own fate and throne. 

(Chorus 1): 

Rise, and serve your Queen! 

Cast minds aside, and lend might to the machine 

The arcane promise of potence 

Let the stygian assembly commence. 

The destiny of my forbears 

Those born of charnel bloodlines 

To craft the plagues of death and conquest... 

The privilege is mine. 

I have heard the call of the arcana 

Forbidden by cowards and the weak 

Dread visions have led me through catacombs 

To master the deathless technique 

My flesh despoiled and armored 

Tattered tendrils and wires, my raiments 

The apocalypse at my fingertips 

I set forth to make my ascent. 

(Chorus 2): 

Rise and serve your Queen! 

Cast freedom aside and lend might to the machine 

The arcane visions of warfare 

The Lich Queen's doctrine declared. 

Seize the knowledge of artifice and sorcery 

Carve the pathway to progress in plagues 

Ignite siege engines with blood and alchemy 

Crush souls upon the anvils; prepare to invade!
