Rise of the Alchemist

When the day becomes the night, to distant lands I ride
I hope I find the strength to carry on after the storm
Old stars we stand beneath, eternal youth we seek
We walk upon the graves of the ones who failed before

We are prisoners of a dull reality
Raise your head and brace yourself, look into infinity

In the heart of the stone, we will find the answer
In the dark of the night, we will see the sign
In the eye of the storm, we will live forever
See the fool on his final journey, the alchemist rises again

With first rays of the sun, we'll sail to Avalon
Will Mother Earth give us what we seek and what we need?
In flames we burn the stones, sulphur, mercury, and salt
The dragon eats its tail, and the cycle shall be done

We're holding the materia prima in our hands
Before us lies eternity, spell is broken, now we're free

In the heart of the stone, we will find the answer
In the dark of the night, we will see the sign
In the eye of the storm, we will live forever
See the fool on his final journey, the alchemist rises again

Fire burning with brimstone
Water's rising, you're alone
Earth is moving 'neath your feet
Soon there'll be no air to breathe

Fire burning with brimstone
Water's rising, you're alone
Earth is moving 'neath your feet
Soon there'll be no air to breathe

You've lost your way
Death lies ahead
You've lost your way
Death lies ahead

Mark of the beast behind the rust
Unholy priest standing unpurified
Self-fulfilling prophecy
Leaving the seer mourning and suffering

Mark of the beast behind the rust
Unholy priest standing unpurified
Self-fulfilling prophecy
Leaving the seer mourning and suffering

With the wisdom of ages, we'll someday return
To find out the truth that we had never learned
Our hearts are yearning for a miracle, oh

Now you see the fear that I can't hide on my face
All the fools disappeared and left no trace
Inside my head I can hear the voice say
"You're gonna die or waste your life away"

In the heart of the stone, we will find the answer
In the dark of the night, we will see the sign
In the eye of the storm, we will live forever
See the fool on his final journey, the alchemist rises again

He rises again
