Alchemy of Suffering Lyrics
Nature, one man lend you fire
Another dulls you with his grief
What says to one, "Here is the grave"
Says to the other, "Glory, life"
Hermes, my unknown helper whom
I always fear, you now enlist
Me as a second Midas here
The saddest of all alchemist
Gold becomes iron through your spell
And paradise a living hell
In heavy sheets of cloud, I see
The shrouded corpse of all I love
And on celestial shores above
I build immensе sarcophagi
Ah
Ah, ooh
Oh, ooh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
