Arcane arts we call into the everblack On this day we shall bring you back Our blood for hers Equivalent exchange Dematerialized before my eyes and devoured by the void To save his life I’ll sacrifice yet another limb [Solo- Jimmy Pitts] Deformed, but not defeated We will get our bodies back Cursed are you who have broken the taboo, for your prying eyes have seen the truth Damned to suffer symbolic deformities, for a fleeting glimpse of eternity Unforeseen complication, ripped you from my womb to the tomb Distraught I sought reclamation- an eerie calm before the storm Ill cries cracked thunderous skies, as I gave birth to gloom For what lie in the center circle, was no longer the fruit of my womb [Solo- Hugo Doyon-Karout] From shadows abound- out of sight,without sound I find myself hopelessly pinned to the ground A dastardly qualm, a blade impales each palm- as homunculi psalm a grim requiem Shadows swell in as my nightmare begins Forced to complete human transmutation Banished from light for this perilous plight has cast me into a realm of eternal night [Solo- Phil Tougas] [Solo- Sanjay Kumar] [Solo- Phil Tougas] [Solo- Nick Padovani] Cursed are you who have broken the taboo, for your prying eyes have seen the truth Damned to suffer symbolic deformities, for a fleeting glimpse of eternity Cursed are you who have broken the taboo, for your prying eyes have seen the truth Damned to suffer symbolic deformities, for a fleeting glimpse of eternity [Solo- Sanjay Kumar]

Homunculus, what have you done Brother of mine, Von Hohenheim I have escaped What have you done to me I’ve gifted you a body that will last all eternity At what cost The lives of my countrymen have been lost And now you stand before me draped in what appears to be a suit of my flesh Answer me Homunculus I was born of your blood, for that I’ve given you a name, awareness, knowledge, and purpose- A new life A vessel’s what I needed so this elaborate scheme I did arrange I suppose you could say it’s equivalent exchange Blood brothers entwined ‘til the end of time The scope of my schemes will haunt your very dreams I’ll shed this facade and become a god Blood brothers entwined ‘til the end of time [Solo- Nick Padovani] [Solo- Phil Tougas] Can you feel them pulsing within The chorus of your comrades, slaves, and your king Echoing harmoniously in a wave of infinite screams [Solo- Sanjay Kumar] [Solo- Hugo Doyon-Karout] [Solo- Nick Padovani] [Solo- Phil Tougas] Homunculus, for this you will breathe your last I will return, for now there is much to learn Go then, Hohenheim You’re trapped in this web of mine Blood brothers entwined ‘til the end of time The scope of my schemes will haunt your very dreams I’ll shed this facade and become a god Blood brothers entwined ‘til the end of time

Shrouded in sinister secrecy Arcane alchemy births pieces of me Willing my children into existence, a force from which there is no resistance Birthing homunculi- embodiment of sin As I cast out these imperfections, my ultimate scheme begins Using my seven deadly children and desires of man I string and harness the military of this chaotic land Pushing its borders beyond boundaries once perceived Alchemic atrocities, these puppets have been deceived Wrath, Pride, Gluttony, Lust, Envy, Sloth and Greed Our goal is strangulation For each task will be assigned, children, we will reap the souls of this nation Populating propaganda a constant state of war Blinded soldiers commit deeds of which they will abhor Orchestrating ominous onslaughts the shadow king unsoiled Our territories- stained by scarlet soil [Solo- Nick Padovani] [Solo- Christian Muenzner] Beneath the surface- Sigil Insidious Transmutation circle- unparalleled Guiding the flow of this nation The Shadow King- Homunculus And artificial children fit to do his bidding Terrifying powers gifted by their crimson core Indispensable tools of war [Solo- Christian Muenzner] Wrath, Pride, Gluttony, Lust, Envy, Sloth and Greed Our goal is strangulation For each task will be assigned, children, we will reap the souls of this nation Seeking sovereign sacrifices who’ve been beyond the gate Human transmutation has forever changed their fates Perilous preparation, the promised day is near The birth of a new God all the Cosmos will revere Limits of my abilities are unknown, and the depths of my schemes will haunt your very dreams Perilous preparations the promised day is near The birth of a new God all the Cosmos will revere Limits of my abilities are unknown, and the depths of my schemes will haunt your very dreams Perilous preparations the promised day is near The birth of a new God all the Cosmos will revere

With each year’s passing Centuries seemingly everlasting I walk amongst man, for they know not what I am Born of fabled atrocity Entombed within me are the lives of the lost Tormented whispers and wails echo a great many tales I carry with me the burden of your sin Hundreds of thousands buried just beneath my skin [Solo- Sanjay Kumar] [Solo- Jimmy Pitts] Those who reside inside have aided me in this plot Centuries of strife Your sins shall be for naught Together this army of lost should stand to counteract your atrocities This is the fall of the Demiurge The death of a deity A squall of souls coalesce in sky Crimson clouds rain back departed lives [Solo- Phil Tougas] [Solo- Nick Padovani]

Oh, this fate was unforeseen calamity Dethroned by fleshborn treachery From a gaping hole in my chest- emissaries outstretch Pull me back to the void Back to my genesis [Solo- Jimmy Pitts] Shrouded silhouettes reach forth, penumbra tearing me particle from particle Beckoned by the ageless entity to palaver- the failure of my deeds Why, God, why would you refuse to become one with me Back to the void Back to the Truth Cast into exile [Solo- Sanjay Kumar] [Solo- Phil Tougas] [Solo- Sanjay Kumar] [Solo- Phil Tougas] Many names have I- the One, the All, the Truth They call me God, the World, the Universe, and Atom For this Eve I’ve summoned thee- you who so desperately wanted the all The plot you sought- the onslaught Defeated by humanoid squall Why was my pursuit of the arcane a taboo I merely sought to know the all to attain the Truth Dwarf you have not grown beyond your days in the flask Merely expelled desires and acquired a flesh mask The power in which you possess was stolen from those you detest All of that so called knowledge, such arrogance must be repressed For those who leave me besotted a special hell there is allotted A fate truly tailored for your sins- symbolic retribution [Solo- Nick Padovani] [Solo- Phil Tougas] [Solo- Nick Padovani] [Solo- Phil Tougas] [Solo- Sanjay Kumar] [Solo- Phil Tougas] [Solo- Sanjay Kumar] [Solo- Phil Tougas] [Solo- Sanjay Kumar] [Solo- Phil Tougas] [Solo- Sanjay Kumar] [Solo- Nick Padovani] [Solo- Hugo Doyon-Karout] [Solo- Nick Padovani] [Solo- Phil Tougas] Oh, you who have failed to see enlightenment Out done by fleshborn quintessence Behold your barren portal of Truth- bleak with rancor Once your genesis, now your terminus Tell me what it was that I was supposed to do Before I’m bound once more, I’m begging for the Truth Dwarf you have not grown beyond your days in the flask Merely expelled desires and acquired a flesh mask The door to your destiny is open wide Do you dare take a look inside Listen closely for the words on my breath sentence you to a fate worse than death You who sought to have it all, condemned to a fate infinitesimal Banished is your free will, now you shall be a nameless iota that dwells within me [Solo- Tyler Cox] Dwarf you have not grown beyond your days in the flask Merely expelled desires and acquired a flesh mask Listen closely for the words on my breath sentence you to a fate worse than death You who sought to have it all, condemned to a fate infinitesimal Banished is your free will, now you shall be a nameless iota that dwells within me [Solo- Nick Padovani] [Solo- Phil Tougas]
