Alchemist's Brute Lyrics

Deep beneath the castle walls
The cellar stirs with life
Ancient texts and secret scrolls
Tinctures by the candle light

A figure with dark ingredient
Grinding powders of unknown name
The alchemist's brute stands close by
Giant hands and hideous face

The alchemist's brute
Summoned by the runes
An undead in this earthen vessel
Found within the tombs
Who occupies his empty eyes
From whence he came would mystify

The alchemist's brute
Summoned in the gloom
Who stares behind his empty eyes
From whence he came would horrify

Glowing liquid from the glass
Hath mesmerized the brute
Filling all the alchemist's needs
With robbery and violent spree

Knowing only darkened corners
Stalking Ilfracombe at night
Born alone into the gutters bare
A heart of bitter stuff, indeed

The alchemist's brute
Summoned by the gloom
An undead in this earthen vessel
Found within the tombs
Who occupies his empty eyes
From whence he came would mystify
The alchemist's brute

Summoned by the runes
Who stares behind his empty eyes
From whence he came would horrify

The remains of a virgin
Stripped down in the acid bath
Sacred bone and precious coin
Stolen from the Clerics Hall

People of the city don't leave home without a knife
Tales of the brute have left the city scared and cold
A necessary evil they say
The alchemist works for King Romula

A shadow general, defeating rivals with any edge
Undead soldiers, cursed poisons and tainted winds
The brute, he plays his part, he plays it very well
Betrayed by man, will he ever find solace
From hate and contagion

Lost, in violent times
No love, his heart is stone
Pest, what a wicked thorn
Leech, squirms the timid born
Hunted, for his wicked ways
Lured by Antons impious craft
