The Alchemis
Cliff West

In his Tower deep in thought
The alchemist works through the night
To find the formula to transmute led to gold
The shadows lengthen as he
Makes his notes and reasons why
What silver chalice holds the secret he desires

The naked flames dance in the furnace
Round the crucible
In these chambers of science
In dark and silence he has thought
And he has studied long
The secret of eternal life

The cobwebs brushed now
From these manuscripts of long ago
His mind upon encoded word
A life devoted to
Unraveling the thread of time
The secret of eternal life

Lead to gold see him changing lead to gold
Lead to gold see him changing lead to gold
Lead to gold see him changing lead to gold
Lead to gold see him changing lead to gold

In his tower deep in thought
The alchemist works through the night
To find the formula to transmute lead to gold
