The Alchemist

Lyrics

I've walked a path of darkness
 Just to open up my mind
 I've learned of hidden secrets
 Scattered through the depths of time
 And at my father's side I witnessed
 Things I can't describe
 "They must be evil!"
 The people cried
 So when the prince went missing
 And the mob was at our door
 The king would not see reason
 Only vengeance, only war
 My father's neck held in his grip
 Until he was no more
 But the prince was still alive
 And I said
 May never a noble of your murderous line
 Survive to reach a greater age than thine
 Because I'm the Alchemist creator of your fears
 I'm the Sorcerer, a curse throughout the years
 And I won't rest 'til no one's left
 The ending of your line
 Their lives are a prison of my design
 ♪
 Through the generations
 They'd forgotten of my vow
 But still my will be done
 My curse stays stronger even now
 A tragic fall, a fatal brawl
 All accidents each time
 Oh, why must the young kings die?
 May never a noble of your murderous line
 Survive to reach a greater age than thine
 It was I
 The Alchemist creator of their fears
 It was I
 The Sorcerer, a curse throughout the years
 You won't escape your tragic fate
 The ending of your line
 Your life is a prison of my design
 ♪
 The final king's obsession
 To escape impending doom
 Reached beneath the castle walls
 Where he chanced upon a room
 And there he found his enemy
 The man who cheated death
 And I said
 With my last breath
 It was I
 The Alchemist, creator of your fears
 It was I
 The Sorcerer, I've waited all these years
 And when you pass you'll be the last
 A victim of your line
 Your life was a prison of my design
 'Cause I'm the alchemist
 I've lived a dozen lives
 I'm the sorcerer
 The face of your demise
 And from these walls
 I've made you all
 Believe this curse of mine
 The engineer
 Of all you fear
 The terror in your mind
 I've sacrificed
 Eternal life
 For justice for the crime
 Our lives were a prison of my design
