Magnum Opus 04:36
Sanctum Moleculae Sacrum Particulae diligo vindico Universa tutelae Curious and cryptic is the world of alchemy secretive and puzzling The mystic mind to be Ancients seeking wisdom sift through every tome divining transmutation through philosopher's stone at his royal commandment The sage is put to task provide complete protection like shield or iron mask an amulet created with properties unknown love will be the conduit to friends of royal throne This talisman of protection would be his greatest feat Truly his Magnum Opus His conjuring complete If only he could know the bitter fruit that it would bear Darkness descending, evil unending Unexpected consequence would make itself be known Unholy entanglement that nothing could atone New facets were emerging and take an ugly turn magic it would magnify and bedlam clash and burn Witches were attracted Like flies to carrion Evil was compacted and could not be undone Coven battled coven Intent to take control Wickedness was virulent and avarice take it's toll This talisman of protection would be his greatest gift Truly his Magnum Opus but sadness would be swift If only he could know the bitter fruit that it would bear Darkness descending, evil unending Hell is paved with good intentions to be enslaved by our own inventions noble desire that seemed heaven sent turn to despair and our deep lament 200 years later dark forces would align a wicked orchestration of crime on top of crime a sorceress of ill intent would climb a family stair ruthless in her ambition and no one would be spared a matriarch of murder a bitter bride of greed a king caught in the middle would end by ugly deed unexpected consequence again would be at hand evil begat evil and a spider ruled the land This talisman of protection would be his greatest feat Truly his Magnum Opus His conjuring complete If only he could know the bitter fruit that it would bear Darkness descending, evil unending Sanctum Moleculae Sacrum Particulae diligo vindico Universa tutelae

Evil Calling 03:38
Evil calling spiders crawling demons hiding witches lying doom won't rest in dark infest Devils dawning Nightmares come to those who wait unseen horror near Darkness falls to desecrate shadows creep with fear Powers that be refuse to see turning a blind eye hopeless peasants beg for help as sons and daughters die Spiders come quake with fear prey for dawn doom is near Light is failing fear unveiling Blackness Spreading praying, dreading Evil hungers out of sight waiting patiently screams ring out in dead of night nothing to be seen when dawn comes no bodies found only splatters on the ground silken webs of those once bound still no one believes Spiders come quake with fear prey for dawn death is here

I Never Knew 04:15
Hey, it's me again I thought I'd let you know I'm turning 18 and soon I'll have to go. Pray, watch over me as I do as I vowed I hope you're pleased I hope I'll make you proud Can you see me now Let me know somehow is there a way back oh, why did you leave me Can you hear me now speak to me somehow does the veil of death separate us completely Grand mother did her best we struggled through the years I worked so very hard she always hid her tears How I wish you were here to see me on my way to face my destiny evil will pay I never knew you, mother I always missed you, father why did you leave me, mother do you still love me, father Avenge your death is what I vow in darkened dreams you showed me how through pain and hate my heart grew hard my hopes forever scared I know that death will be my fate my sweet revenge will motivate to see the look upon her face grim reapers cold embrace Can you see me now Let me know somehow is there a way back oh, why did you leave me Can you hear me now speak to me somehow does the veil of death separate... I never knew you, mother I always missed you, father why did you leave me, mother do you still love me, father I always loved you, mother I always loved you, father why did you leave me, mother do you still love me, father

My world was very different yesterday How could I've known it would turn out this way In some ways it's the same But now I hold the blame My heart just turns to dust I never knew that love could be so sweet The feeling in my heart made me complete But now that all is lost oh how my stars were crossed My heart just turns to dust Nothing left in this world to love for me No angels descend from above for me My whole life was a lie my fate I can't deny my heart just turns to dust I know the end draws nigh I hope that you sleep well I, I won't say goodbye I'll just say farewell I, I can't even try why, I can't even tell I, I won't say goodbye I'll just say farewell I've only wanted one thing in my life Avenge my parents and to end this strife and now the deed is done and I've lost everyone my heart just turns to dust The curtains close and the room grows so dim The shadows spread across my heart within my story's over now the end I dare avow my heart just turns to dust I know the end draws nigh I hope that you sleep well I, I won't say goodbye I'll just say farewell I, I can't even try why, I can't even tell I, I won't say goodbye I'll just say farewell I, I can't even try why, I can't even tell I'll just say farewell

A Dynasty had grown from such a simple thing many have tried to own what only death can bring what started out as good corrupted over time some perished where they stood others began to climb possess all you can is the folly of man you can not break free from this dark dynasty Descend the long stair that leads to no where There's no turning back You can't cry it's unfair can't stop what's begun there's no where to run It can't be undone Young Helmut learned too late who he should not believe a child's faith is great so easy to deceive He's Just another limb a twisted family tree Free to prune or trim to serve another's need Descend the long stair that leads to no where There's no turning back You can't cry it's unfair can't stop what's begun there's no where to run It can't be undone If vengeance is your guide You're lost before you leave If power is your bride Your lover will deceive A lesson learned to late Is not to learn at all To choose a hated fate To become hatreds' thrall An Eye for an Eye Until everyone's blind You can not break free From this dark dynasty Descend the long stair that leads to no where There's no turning back You can't cry it's unfair can't stop what's begun there's no where to run It can't be undone

about

This is the 2021 remix of IGNITORs rock opera The Spider Queen. I never really liked the way the original mix sounded. Stuck at home during the pandemic, I decided to give a remix a go.

The Spider Queen is a Heavy Metal Operetta about love, loss, power and revenge. It combines the genres of rock opera, action, comedy and horror with a touch of teen angst. It's inspiration is movies like Flash Gordon, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, 300 and a dash of Quadrophenia.

This story is about Helmut, an orphan raised by his grandmother. According to her, Helmut has only one purpose, kill the queen and avenge his parents death. Oddly, when Helmut meets the queen she is young, beautiful and very appealing. Helmut cannot make himself kill her and falls in love. Unfortunately, Helmut soon learns the queen is not as she appears, but is actually a hideous, flesh eating monster. He also learns his grandmother has not been truthful about his past. Helmut has to decide what is real and who to trust.
