Valiant Hearts - The Alchemist Lyrics

Valiant Hearts Lyrics

"The Alchemist"

A wiser man once said
Son rest your weary head
You'll learn to conjure gold out of lead

I watch the mercury hit retrograde
A transmutation is taking place

A silver tide of violent waves
Is crashing right through my veins
And slowly I am paralyzed
My atoms all reorganize

Turning to gold

A wiser man once said
Son rest your weary head
You'll learn to conjure gold out of lead
On sheets in unkempt beds
Son, you can sleep when you're dead
You'll yearn and wonder how it connects

I'm losing breath
And as the air escapes, it all comes plummeting down

I watch the elements wax and wane
Invigorated like a flame always changing shape

A silver tide of violent waves
Is crashing right through my veins

And slowly I am paralyzed

The Alchemists have turned me to gold
Skin deep, down into my soul
Their science sleeps inside of my bones
Entombing me in my own vault

Will I ever see the sun again
Will I ever see the sun again
Will I ever see the sun again
Will I ever see the sun again

Like the Alchemists foretold
I'm turning to gold

A wiser man once said
Son rest your weary head
You'll learn to conjure gold out of lead
On sheets in unkempt beds
Son, you can sleep when you're dead
You'll yearn and wonder how it connects

I'm turning to gold
A wiser man once said
I'm turning to gold
Son rest your weary head
You'll learn to conjure gold out of lead
