ARC LABORATORY 19900508
The setting for our story
Is a vast underground laboratory
Caverns formed by thought alone
Dimly lit with a dark undertone
Here the Archmagus abides
And with no one he confides
Any of his current experimentations
Until they have matched his expectations
Working both energy and matter
Into an ecological ladder
A being with controlled emotion
But working with great passion and devotion
The granting of life force
His soul the very source
The birth of a new world and sun
On Xodarap time has begun
From trees and plants in the soil
To the clouded skies thick with turmoil
Each blade of grass was made to be
Each stormy night a sight to see
In the laboratory life is spawned
And of these creations he is fond
All are his children and offspring
That's why he is proud of everything
Cycle of death placed to renew
Change opposing stagnation's view
But rebirth comes around the bend
Completing a circle without end
The granting of life force
His soul the very source
The birth of a new world and sun
On Xodarap time has begun
