"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
