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
