Alchemist's Desire

[Intro] Through candlelight and ancient scrolls, He walks alone with fractured soul. In every flask, a dream concealed — A truth the stars have long revealed. [Verse 1] He speaks in tongues the dead recall, In chambers lined with lead and gall. A heart once warm now wrapped in steel, His touch forgets how love can feel. He charts the stars, he grinds the bone, He carves his fate in cursed stone. The Elixir calls — he dares to try, To trick the Reaper, cheat the sky. [New Chorus] “Let me burn,” he cries, “for one true spark, Let gold be fire to light the dark! No gods, no grave shall bind my breath — I’ll rise beyond the hands of death.” But in his eyes, no flame remains — Just shadows trapped in iron chains. [Verse 2] The mirror cracks, his face unknown, Eyes like voids, turned into stone. Where once was faith, now alchemy, He prays to no divinity. With salt and gold, he marks the path, Through smoke and silence, blood and wrath. Each drop of time, a poison trace, He longs for death but hides his face. [Chorus] “Let me burn,” he cries, “for one true spark, Let gold be fire to light the dark! No gods, no grave shall bind my breath — I’ll rise beyond the hands of death.” But in his eyes, no flame remains — Just shadows trapped in iron chains. [Bridge] Vitriol in veins, the stone turns red, Philosopher's gift now wakes the dead. The stars collapse within his mind, A truth no mortal was meant to find. [Verse 3] He walks among, yet stands apart, A hollow crown, a caged heart. The world grows old, he stays the same, A whisper lost without a name. He drank the light, he bled the sun, And now his curse has just begun. [Final Chorus] He forged a throne of ash and dust, Where time decays and dreams combust. He wears no crown, but bears the cost — A soul immortal, shattered, lost. The spark he sought became his chain — A king of silence, wrapped in pain. [Outro] So raise your glass to the final lie — The alchemist who could not die.
