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 morе

But the prince was still alive!

And I said

"May nеver a noble of your murderous line

survive to reach a greater age than thine!"

Because I'm the Alchemist, creator of your fears

And I'm the sorcerer, a curse throughout the years

And I won't rest till no one's left

The ending of your line

Their lives are a prison of my design

Throughout 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!

Because I'm the Alchemist, creator of your fears

And I'm the sorcerer, a curse throughout the years

You won't escape this 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

I'm The Alchemist, I've lived a dozen lives

And 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...
