Story Behind the Song
These 2 songs were recorded and produced on a Fostex 16 Track Digital Recorder in the house in which the band practices by Mike Browning, band member.
NO SUPER EXPENSIVE MICROPHONES, ENGINEERS or PRODUCERS were incorporated into this Alchemical Experiment.
It is our ART recorded by US in the place it was CREATED (a combination most powerful in majickal potions) in the hopes the potential of the band may be extracted by the listener, and in an effort submit our efforts to obtain funds from a record label to go in to a great studio and CAST OUR SPELLS.
Lyrics
Consumed by Fire – Lyrics: Mike Browning - Music: Lisa Lombardo and Bryan Hipp
Worshippers of Set, Hailer’s of the night,
pay homage to the star, in the sky so bright,
cycle of procession, every 26,000 years,
in which the stars and seasons,
align the magickal night.
The Bennu Bird, appears in the sky,
vehicle of Horus, taken to flight,
The Solar Diety, will now return,
into the flames, consumed but not burned.
The Constellation, of Sothis at night,
lights up the path, for souls to take flight,
Return to the ancient, race from the sky,
follow the beam, into the light.
(Symbol of Phoenix Bird of Return,
consumed by the Fire, that does not burn)
(Aeon of Horus, now takes it’s turn,
Set is the fire, the ego we burn)
Double Wanded One, returns from the sky,
turning the day, into the night,
Completing the circle, the point inside,
forming the void, hiding the light.
Death of the ego, universe dissolved,
all that remains, in supreme state.
Creation emerges, the child is born,
dynamic expression, in which we return.
Aeon of Horus, the dual formula,
positive and negative, in mankind unite.
Absolute conscious, reduce all to naught,
forming the silence, opening the eye.
Turning inside, instead of outward,
cross the abyss, the endless void.
Receive the word, and the sign,
I am because , I am not
Consumed by fire, we return.

SULPHUR – MERCURY – SALT - Lyrics: Mike Browning - Music: Lisa Lombardo and Bryan Hipp
MEDICINA ELIXER RUBAE FIRE REBEUM
MEDICINA ELIXER ALBU FOR ALBUM
THE ALCHEMIST 1ST TASK, IS TO LOOK DEEP INSIDE
WHAT ARE WE MADE OF, AND WHAT DO WE HIDE
RAW PRIMAL MATTER, IN UNREFINED STATE
CONTAINS ALL WE NEED, TO OPEN THE GATE
PHILOSOPHIC FIRE, ROSE OF RED
PHILOSOPHIC MERCURY, ROSE OF WHITE
THE MYSTERIOUS THIRD SUBSTANCE, THE CATALYST OF SALT
COMBINED IN THE ALEMBIC, VESSEL OF LIGHT
THE 2ND TASK, THE ALCHEMIST MUST DO
PREPARE THE VESSEL, TO BE CLEAR AND TRUE
THIS IS THE PLACE, TO OBSERVE THE WORK
THE TRANSFORMATION IN THE ALEMBIC EGG
THE 3RD TASK, THE ALCHEMIST COMBINES
SULPHUR AND MERCURY, THE SUN AND MOON ENTWINED
THE SUN IS THE KING, THE MOON IS THE QUEEN
FROM RED AND WHITE, GOLD AND SILVER IS SEEN
THE ANTHOR IS BURNING, HEAT AND COOLING TAKING PLACE
GASES RISE AND FALL, DISTILL AND CONDENSATE
THE ALCHEMIST MUST WATCH, HIS CREATION MUTATE
THE CHEMICAL WEDDING, MUST NOW TAKE PLACE
THE 4TH TASK, THE ALCHEMIST DISSOLVES
GOLD AND SILVER COMBINED, AND BEGINS TO PUTRIFY
MATTER IS DESTROYED, THE VESSELL TURNS TO BLACK
IN THE DARK OF NIGHT, IS WHERE WE SEE THE LIGHT
PHILOSOPHIC FIRE, ROSE OF RED
PHILOSOPHIC MERCURY, ROSE OF WHITE
THE MYSTERIOUS THIRD SUBSTANCE, THE CATALYST OF SALT
COMBINED IN THE ALEMBIC, VESSEL OF LIGHT
THE 5TH TASK, THE CHILD IS BORN
FROM A RUBEDO, A STONE COMES FORTH
EQUAL IN ASPECTS, BALANCED BY BOTH
THE 3 ARE 1, BODY- MIND - AND SOUL
THE FINAL TASK, THE ALCHEMIST MUST PASS
IS THE QUINTESSENCE, THE 6 POINTED STAR
THE ELEMENTS ARE BALANCED, PERFECTED BY ART
THE TRANSFORMATION BEGINS AGAIN AND AGAIN
