The Alchemist

Stranger than the comet as it streaks across the skyStranger than the truth I know before my open eyesI have dealt in mysteries and trickery, of light to entertainLooked into the abyss, called it by its nameI have plundered time itself, put the world inside itI'm the mysteries, day and night, divide itA plague of wonders, on your knees beside meKnow the secrets, you shall not deride usMy dreams of empire from my frozen queenWill come to passKnow me, the MagusI am Dr. DeeAnd this is my houseI am the master of the tidesI shame the mirror in my sightWhat random music of the spheresAcross the yearsKnow thisI will return to this landRebuild where the ruins did standChain up the demons set freeStrange alchemyGather round the aimless and the feckless and the lameHear the master summon up the spirits by their namesI curse you Edward Kelly your betrayal for eternity is damnedKnow you speak with demons, you cannot commandEven as I looked into the glass then I was blindedBurning by the Mortlake shore my house my books inside itYou have taken up my wife and lain beside herNow the black rain on my house, the timbers burningMy dreams of empire from my frozen queenWill come to passKnow me, the MagusI am Dr. DeeAnd this was my houseI was the keeper of the booksI had the knowledge of the scrollsBut now through ignorance and fearI cast a shadow through the yearsKnow thisI will return to this landRebuild where the ruins did standChain up the demons set freeStrange alchemyKnow thisI will return to this landRebuild where the ruins did standChain up the demons set freeStrange alchemyKnow thisI will return to this landRebuild where the ruins did standRestore the knowledge memoryStrange alchemy
