The Sorceror’s Den Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One night I was restless, clinging to sanity like a barnacle
I walked a couple miles and then stumbled upon a carnival
Unlike anything I'd ever seen it was phenomenal
Whatever the mind could imagine was right in front of you
One of the attractions was calling me to see within the man stood at the doorway luring the people in
His booth looked real tiny and inoperable
But infinitely large on the inside like Doctor Who
He said "I'm owner of this wonderful establishment
Please sign the waiver before you enter the labyrinth
Brace yourself mentally cause you're about to witness the most incredible acts of sorcery in existence"
I ran to the booth, "Do you expect me to believe this?"
I quickly bought a ticket while thinking I gotta see this
He closed the door behind us then sat us all on a chair
The door slammed but when I looked back it was no longer there

[Hook]
Step forward towards the front door and come in
You have now just entered in the sorcerer's den
This is a voluntary thing nobody's forcing you in
But if you go you may never see your porches again

Step forward towards the front door and come in
You have now just entered in the sorcerer's den
This is a voluntary thing nobody's forcing you in
But if you go you may never see your porches again
[Verse 2]
Now the second after all of the consent forms were signed
He started warming up by moving objects with his mind
He was blindin' us with magic now our vision was impaired
He was changing forms and all of the children were getting scared
He just laughed and continued to carry out more deeds
I said "Sir we've seen enough, can you open the door please?"
He said "I haven't put my whole repertoire on display
I'll release you when I get ready, follow me this way"
"Goodness gracious what have I got myself into?
Who are you, what are you, where are you from, who sent you?"
He said "I am the sorcerer I'll never let you go
But I'll brief you with my true history since you like to know
I'm from a family of oracle I'm fifth generation
I frequently listen to apparition conversations
I'm skilled in levitation and spirit communication
But my specialty is destruction and dream interpretation."
"OK then but to use it like, this is not intelligent."
He said "I'm testing mortal minds as an experiment
And right now, there's nobody comparable to my skill
So who could ever challenge me?" I smiled and said "I will."

[Hook]
Step forward towards the front door and come in
You have now just entered in the sorcerer's den
This is a voluntary thing nobody's forcing you in
But if you go you may never see your porches again

Step forward towards the front door and come in
You have now just entered in the sorcerer's den
This is a voluntary thing nobody's forcing you in
But if you go you may never see your porches again
[Verse 3]
He kinda laughed saying "This must be a joke
Line up with the others cause my wrath is easily provoked."
I said, "No it's not a joke" He said, "Well if this is true
Won't you give a demonstration on the things that you could do."
I said "Well, I noticed how you metamorphasise
I had mastered the ability to morph when I was five
I can demonstrate advance transformation overdrive
And explain the process afterwards that's if you're still alive
You talk about your family I have no bloodline
I spun out of the sun I'm the only of my kind."
I spoke a million words in a seven second span
He wondered why he couldn't talk back; his mouth was in my hand
I dangled it in front of him, just to see his face
Then made it evaporate and land in its proper place
I made him face a mirror his reflection was cast
Then I shattered his anatomy like it was the glass
Turned the mirror into blood, wiped it up with a rag
Put his pieces in a box and put the box in a bag
The people cheered, "You must be the Wizard!" I said, "Indeed."
"Can we leave?" I said, "No, because you now belong to me."

[Evil laugh]

What did K-Rino say about "The Sorceror's Den"?
Genius Answer

In a Q&A, K-Rino discussed how the track came about:

Shoutout to the homie DJ Kru, he made the beat that would become the song The Sorceror’s Den. And I was laying in bed one day and the idea just came, man. I wasn’t watching nothing on TV. The idea just came and it flowed so good with that track. I didn’t know that I would continue the storyline as far as I did but it was a blessing man. Some things you can’t explain, it just organically comes together. That was one of them.
