The Alchemist Lyrics

The town is silent

Another night ends

The stars misalign

On the hill overlooking the plaza

Stands the alchemist

Once more he could resist

Once more the demon missed

See you in one moon's time

A game of inches

Two opponents equally strong

He can't recall for how long

This has been going on

The arrival of the morning mist

Signals the end of another round

Another draw between the alchemist

And his rival

Or is it a friend

Impossible to tell

This acquaintance has served him so well

Legend of the alchemist

Mysteries untold

At the hands of the alchemist

All will turn into gold

Transmutation

The art of turning a core

Into something more

He has mastered it all

All of his own accord

But his meddling had side-effects

A being caught

When the process brought forth

More than he bargained for

There is always a price to pay

And he pays it to this day

Legend of the alchemist

Mysteries untold

At the hands of the alchemist

All will turn into gold

A burden to carry

He is the luminary

In the field of alchemy

No deeper enigma

Out of reach

Nothing satisfactory

No more milestones to achieve

Curse of the mastery

The mastery of alchemy

One moon later

The return of hell

Is announced by the tolling bell

All shelter in place

While he alone will face

That what he summoned himself

Among the gathering storm

The portals form

Spawn this phenomenon

That he knows so well

An aura of reciprocal respect

Like two gentleman

Who are grateful to have met

Legend of the alchemist

Mysteries untold

At the hands of the alchemist

All will turn into gold

At the hands of the alchemist

All will turn into gold
