This song follows the character ‘Madrigal’, who finds itself hunted by a Warlord. The Warlord intends to steal its life energy – Azdin.
Until now, Madrigal has only been visible to the Astrapomancer. If the Astrapomancer leads the Warlord to Madrigal, then Madrigal’s fate is sealed.
Warlord whispered in your ear
Saying 'you must deliver'
I am one of 35 he must
Quell and imbibe
Nested, Restless
Storm sequestered
I observed you, from the clouds
You see past my lightning gown
(Chorus)
Astrapomancer, please
I wonder how you can see or perceive me
Though you hold the key
You cannot halt the hunt
Astrapomancer, will you sell me?
How much will the Azure Warlord pay?
Will he slay me for my Azdin?
I know of the Azure Warlord's blade
I know what it's done
All I ask is to shine undisturbed
Yet to him, you surrender your fervour
And me
(Chorus)
Astrapomancer, please
I rarely ask for a vestige of mer-
See sky to eye with me
Through your love of the light
All I ask is to shine
Once, a sundry of sparks formed a choir
In death, I'll divide to abandon you further
You'll see
(Chorus)
Astrapomancer, please
I, madrigal of the fulg'rous elysian
Must go willingly
I know that I must die
Astrapomancer, please leave
I can no longer deny this inexorable demon
Save yourself, or risk being intertwined
With me
