The Alchemist (2015 Remaster)

Stranger than the comet as it streaks across the sky

Stranger than the truth I know before my open eyes

I have dealt in mysteries and trickery of light to entertain

Looked into the abyss, called it by its name

I have plundered time itself, put the world inside it

I'm the mysteries, day and night, divide it

A plague of wonders, on your knees beside me

Know the secrets, you shall not deride us

My dreams of empire from my frozen queen

Will come to pass

Know me, the Magus

I am Dr. Dee

And this is my house

I am the master of the tides

I shame the mirror in my sight

What random music of the spheres

Across the years

Know this

I will return to this land

Rebuild where the ruins did stand

Chain of the demons set free

Strange alchemy

Gather round the aimless and the feckless and the lame

Hear the master summon up the spirits by their names

I curse you Edward Kelley, your betrayal for eternity is damned

Know you speak with demons, you cannot command

Even as I looked into the glass then I was blinded

Burning by the Mortlake shore my house, my books inside it

You have taken up my wife and lain beside her

Now the black rain on my house, the timbers burning

My dreams of empire from my frozen queen

Will come to pass

Know me, the Magus

I am Dr. Dee

And this was my house

I was the keeper of the books

I had the knowledge of the scrolls

But now through ignorance and fear

I cast a shadow through the years

Know this

I will return to this land

Rebuild where the ruins did stand

Chain of the demons set free

Strange alchemy

Know this

I will return to this land

Rebuild where the ruins did stand

Chain of the demons set free

Strange alchemy

Know this

I will return to this land

Rebuild where the ruins did stand

Restore the knowledge memory

Strange alchemy
