Alchemy lyrics

The writing's on the wall

Will you go on and fool yourself?

In no time you’ll be done

Refusing to adjust yourself to the flow

Why walk the stoney road?

You won't get out alive

Nobody understands it, do you?

Come in and look around:

Every single stroke, they say

Was worth the pain

Now, in this gallery of wonder

You wonder what it's all about

Well, selling sun in the rain!

We’re gonna give them bite-sized harmony

Oh, we're gonna shove it down their throats

Dreams and fire - we are alchemy

You set out on the losing end

Gonna make you whole again

Waste to diamonds - we are alchemy

No one to be left in need

We're gilding their reality

We gotta keep 'em dancing

While tears pour out of blackened skies

Another shade of drama

Spectators weeping over cries

That broken heroes

Drag from crazy minds

And by the way, now:

They who pay the piper call the tune at last

Knowing what you wanna give

And what is gonna do

Feeding on desire

The spectres shall arise

Right in front of their eyes

We're gonna give them perfect harmony

Oh, we're gonna shove it down their throats

Dreams and fire - we are alchemy

You set out on the losing end

Gonna make you whole again

Waste to diamonds - we are alchemy

No one to be left in need

We're gilding their reality

We'd never lie

We’re never ever gonna let you down

When danger and distraction lie in wait

We’d never lie

When dreams aspire to take you down

We' never dare to lie to you

You’re just spared the part of truth

That doesn't make any sense to you...

Dreams and fire - we are alchemy

You set out on the losing end

Gonna make you whole again

Waste to diamonds - we are alchemy

No one's to be left in need

A new take on reality
