from the fern-ean era,
creeping on the terra,
of lives incinerated beneath,
its aging earthen sheath,
we would need a fourth,
of its black stone growth.
and the quarter for later,
shall be the flavus water,
from a flavus rhine,
if be grounded fine,
along with petre's salt,
can bring a mortal to halt.
and brew draken exhales,
encased in the brazen shells,
to feed a devil of snout adamant,
under summoner's word, dormant.

from the fern-ean era,
creeping on the terra,
of lives incinerated beneath,
its aging earthen sheath,
we would need a fourth,
of its black stone growth.
and the quarter for later,
shall be the flavus water,
from a flavus rhine,
if be grounded fine,
along with petre's salt,
can bring a mortal to halt.
and brew draken exhales,
encased in the brazen shells,
to feed a devil of snout adamant,
under summoner's word, dormant.
An alchemical recipe of old world gunpowder, through its elemental origins: coal from the Carboniferous ferns ('fern-ean era'), sulfur ('flavus water', from the Latin for yellow), and saltpeter ('petre's salt'). The 'devil of snout adamant' the gun itself, and the 'summoner's word' the trigger that wakes it.
