The Alchemist

Hidden away
A dark legacy
Unearths itself
Just for me

Secrets untold
My ancestors world
Brought back to life
Alchemy

My reflection in the canvas
Staring back at me
A portrait hiding knowledge
From forgotten centuries

Written in demonic texts
I'd conjure up the dead
But what I thought I could control
Took hold of me instead

Under control
From beyond space and time
Slowly it will drain away
My life
I see his face
Like a mirror to mine
The Alchemist will return
He will return
Oh, but I shall be gone

Deep in the earth
I found his work
Frozen in time
Now I see

Ashes of man
An ungodly plan
Risen to life sorcery

What did I uncover
Tell me, what did I just see?
Murals paint remains of
Some bizarre monstrosity

Following the dragon's head
He rose up from the dead
A living corpse reborn again
From which I can't defend

Under control
From beyond space and time
Slowly it will drain away
My life
I see his face
Like a mirror to mine
The Alchemist will return
He will return
Oh, but I shall be gone

Now my time is ending
In a realm of mistery
A portrait brought to life by
Supernatural mystery

With my dying breath
Hear my warning I have said
Don't call up what cannot be brought down

Under control
From beyond space and time
Slowly it will drain away
My life
I see his face
Like a mirror to mine
The Alchemist will return
He will return
Oh, but I shall be gone
