incantations of the apprentice

Symphony X

Through eerie reach of ancient woods
Where lumbering mists arise
I journey for nines moons of the year
To where a land of legend lies

Deep within a stony lamp-lit hall
Under falling grains of sand
Magic eyes glance magic pages
Turned by magic hands

And as he spoke I watched in awe
A God's aura in his eyes
Master of all

Darkness fall - Spirits arise
Lord of Storms - Blacken the skies

With heavy breath, I break the seal
Howls echo through the room
Bloodlettings of a black raven's heart
Conjure up the wraiths of doom

I cannot heed my Master's call
Lakes of Fire - writhe and swell
Foolish eyes - while spying Prophet's pages
Unleash Barons of Hell

And as they rose I watched in awe
A God's aura in my eyes
Master of all

Darkness fall - Spirits arise
Lord of Storms - Blacken the skies
