Kevin Shirley - The Alchemist lyrics

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 pa** 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 [Chorus] Know this I will return to this land Rebuild where the ruins did stand Chain up 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 gla** 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 pa** 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 [Chorus]x3 Know this I will return to this land Rebuild where the ruins did stand Chain up the demons set free Strange alchemy Know this I will return to this land Rebuild where the ruins did stand Chain up the demons set free Strange alchemy Know this I will return to this land Rebuild where the ruins did stand Chain up the demons set free Strange alchemy
