This was not supposed to be
Not like this not like this
Error of miscalculation
Creeping fear through my frustration
Give me metals for inventions
Far beyond my god's intention
Shaping you and changing me
Was this not supposed to be
Alchemy, alchemy
Twisting, changing, rearranging
With every pulse inside my bones
I'm frozen, frozen, into stone
Sacred craft within the scroll
Defiant texts for rebel souls
Forgive me father they do not know
The pain that follows, the highs nor low
Elements turned upside down
Changing life from inside out
Forgive me father forgive me please
For crimes against humanity
Alchemy, alchemy
Twisting, changing, rearranging
With every pulse inside my bones
I'm frozen, frozen, into stone
Grand mutation, manipulation
Set the golden path towards
The land of strong and free
Wizardry and hearsay
Revealing truth and secrecy
Hidden from mankind for ages
To stop us from rewriting pages
Riches and the knowledge
Leave me incomplete
I can finally see this now
Changing you and fixing me
How can I become a god?
If I am just a man
How am I still human
With this power in my hand
I will unfold my prophecy
To reinvent this world
You will all look up to me
When alchemy has set us free
Alchemy, alchemy
Twisting, changing, rearranging
With every pulse inside my bones
I'm frozen, frozen, into stone
