Ziggurat OST by Eric Lord

OST for the upcoming boardgame Ziggurat.

Set in a ancient desert world, Ziggurat tells the story of three women's attempt to climb a mystical tower.

-----------------------

From times forgotten, older than old
a tower was built by hands unknown
It held then and today still holds
the deepest secrets of matter control

The tower was raised to house knowledge untold
that kings and alchemists fought to hold
The men, however, who seeked to master the shrine
only gained to lose a piece of their minds

For the tower had been cursed by alchemists wise;
a curse that made men crazy beyond belief.
Some it drove to stick needles in their eyes
others drowned in wells, seeing in death relief

And so the tower once again was by most forgotten
until recently, that is, at the dawn of war:
indeed, in search of a weapon to gain an edge
the lure of the tower appealed to no end.

Once again, however, the tower brought madness
for no man could resist the insanity spells
but the builders regardless, had made a mistake that was finally learned

In their haste to curse men, they forgot the fair kind
Thus it was up to women to start their climb.

Today there are three that wish to ascend
in the name of their home, to fight for their land.
A lady of will, a lady of wits, and a lady of strength,
all three formidable manipulators of substance
determined, fearless, fists clenched, eyes cold
Here begins their hike, for they are ready to dance
with Lead, Zinc, Nickel, Iron and Gold.

Authentic & intensely intimate
electro-folk experimentations
