lyrics

Battle and war saturate our history in blood
Ushering a premature silence within soil
These conflicts for terrain and authority to dictate
Reinforced by tools forged of malignity
An interminable pursuit of novel weapons
Armaments escalating in destructive capability
Refined during new bellicose conquests
A repetitious cycle perpetuated by weaponry
Should a wieldable omnipotence exist
Battles logically would be deemed futile and horrendous
Only then would conflict bow to reason
Resolution beckoned from Alexandria’s shores
Inside scroll laden halls of the Musaeum
After what seemed an eternity, an answer appeared
Call and control, a being of animated fire
Yet, left with this text laid a caveat
Heed my warning, for this power not be meant for man
In a moment of hubris I collapsed
As the ends would justify the means
Text in hand, on beach I stood reading chant with abundant pride
An abrupt radiant blaze of spiraling crimson and sanguine
Optimism turned to fear, the beast not cancelled by sea
Unexpectedly, with haste flew to the Musaeum
Igniting the structure before disappearing in a fiery brilliance
Dismayed I watched knowledge turned cinder to embers
Frantic attempts to salvage artifact and scroll
By screaming scholars burnt by licks of flame
Simultaneously tragedy of lost life and logos
Forever cursing hamartia made by Pandoric discretion
