lyrics

Frederick V of Heidelberg the prince, elector, palatine, married to Elizabeth Stuart of England, age 16, ascended the Bohemian throne to cultivate a freaky scene, a short lived dream, for they were to become the Winter King and Queen

Mystical Schemes, perpetuating and alchemical dream, with an enchanted regime, magic reformation of society, in the year 1619

Michael Maier, Heinrich Khunrath, were a few to grace the courts, swirling towards the rubedo within alembics and retorts

A vision born of Rudolph’s reign and his occult affinity, this magic transformation hatched within the mind of Doc John Dee

Mystical schemes, perpetuation an alchemical dream, with an enchanted regime, magic reformation of society, in the year 1620

Though luck was doomed to change, to failure fate was chained, Europe would rearrange

The Protestant Union turned it’s back on Frederick, so did James I: wanting to avoid conflict they cleared the way for the Hapsburgs: A catholic army marching forth to Prague, to lay siege, from Madrid, defeated Frederick’s army at the Battle of the White Mountain

Ripped at the seams, it was the death of the alchemical dream, and setting the scene, for war in Central Europe and Germany, for Thirty Years or so it seems

At least now we can sing, the reign of popes and kings, was of the past a thing
