Alchemy Blues, Pt. 1
Ever since the firmament fell
Men have searched for a life-giving well
Discovery's been a race against time
Desperate reason for their rhyme
From a spring, a river did flow
That allowed the Great Mother to sea
Warriors sailed to her shores
Looking for a sweet place to bee
Wildflowers underfoot
Men's searches would long be in vain
Until the man whose temple was kept
Came to stake his claim
Ever since the firmament fell
Men've searched for a life-giving well
Discovery's been a race against time
Desperate reason for their rhyme
E'en Vespers never spoke
Not to a man who has searched
Megistus shone at owl's light
Bowing under her perch
Megistus sang out E'en's name
Asking for pardon for his shame
"Please, Wise One, offer trust by trial
Judge me through your game
"An eye for an eye
My shield for your beak
If your wisdom you'd share
I'd spell my oath and vow and speak
My will upon the air
So that you, My Master, can soar
Higher than
Higher than you've ever soared
Ever soared before"
E'en answered
"You're a hoot
I share my mysteries
With only those
Those who've shed their suit
"Worthy are those
With rags for clothes
Who still find joy and sing
For they're the keepers
of the golden light
and the life it brings
"The flood broke the spell
Lost secrets only time could tell
"How will men become wise
If they die before their time?"
Never stop seeking
Seek until you find
Find the gift of a troubled mind
Methuselah got 969
Life and knowledge forever twine
Methuselah got 969
Life and knowledge forever twine
Methuselah got 969
Life and knowledge forever twine
Ode to the crow
And to the toad
Ode to the owl
Ode to the crow, toad, and owl
Men have searched for a life-giving well
Discovery's been a race against time
Desperate reason for their rhyme
From a spring, a river did flow
That allowed the Great Mother to sea
Warriors sailed to her shores
Looking for a sweet place to bee
Wildflowers underfoot
Men's searches would long be in vain
Until the man whose temple was kept
Came to stake his claim
Ever since the firmament fell
Men've searched for a life-giving well
Discovery's been a race against time
Desperate reason for their rhyme
E'en Vespers never spoke
Not to a man who has searched
Megistus shone at owl's light
Bowing under her perch
Megistus sang out E'en's name
Asking for pardon for his shame
"Please, Wise One, offer trust by trial
Judge me through your game
"An eye for an eye
My shield for your beak
If your wisdom you'd share
I'd spell my oath and vow and speak
My will upon the air
So that you, My Master, can soar

Methuselah got 969
Life and knowledge forever twine
Methuselah got 969
Life and knowledge forever twine
Ode to the crow
And to the toad
Ode to the owl
Ode to the crow, toad, and owl
