"Alchemy" lyrics

(Aaah)
(Aaaah)

How many zeroes does it take
To make the bread and have the cake?
Why did the oxen cross the line?
So keep him satisfied

How many towers can you buy
To live with gods up in the sky?
And if you dare to ask him
Then he'll buy the question why

Bow to the capital
Can't be wicked if it makes me whole
What's wrong with complete control?
It's better from the balcony
How high can one pile grow?
Pack the trinkets with you when you go
Gold will only turn to coal
What's the opposite of alchemy?

Chase the glitter far down the river
Green is the root and my god you're a sinner
Lord deliver this man to fire
Sold his soul to the world's highest buyer

How many banquets can you eat
Before you've had your fill of meat?
When did the 'X' mark the spot
Where everybody rots?

And if you listen closely, put your ear up to the tower
Hear of the voices of the people with the power say...

Bow to the capital
Stash the riches in the black black hole
What's wrong with complete control?
It's better from the balcony
How high can one pile grow?
Pack the trinkets with you when you go
Gold will only turn to coal
What's the opposite of alchemy?

Chase the glitter far down the river
Green is the root and my god you're a sinner
Lord deliver this man to fire
Sold his soul to the world's highest buyer
