Etheric Alchemy -

Far from human kind, and roots defied

Long ago

Two worlds, combined and intertwined

Began to grow

Beneath a canopy of trees

The perfect union they had foreseen

Torn apart by differing views

Man’s endeavor to harness creation

Ether and steel

Echoes of ancient days

Grown from the Seed

Bury the secrets deep and lock them away

From prying eyes and youthful minds

That would know

The truth behind the dark divide

The ghostly glow

Stoic faces shrouded in the dark

An act of betrayal, a stolen heart

Waiting for a day that can never come

Forged into the sentinel of regret

Ether and steel

Echoes of ancient days

Grown from the Seed

Bury the secrets deep and lock them away

The mystery reaches out from beyond these silent walls

And beckons gleaming hearts into the Ether…

What Etheric alchemy has wrought this wonder?

Stretching on and on as far as eyes can see

The laughing god has clawed the earth asunder

Two sides split by the ravine, but closer than they seem

Silent, wandering spectral Guides

The elemental soul of fire

Keepers of forgotten rites

Glass-eyed shadows on the walls

The Clockwork Angel giving life

The Court conceals them all

Ether and steel

Echoes of ancient days

Grown from the Seed

Bury the secrets deep and lock them away
