The Alchemist

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 till 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

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
