I've walked a path of darkness
Just to open up my mind
I've learned of hidden secrets
Scattered through the depths of time
And at my father's side
I witnessed things I can't describe
"They must be evil!" the people cried
So when the prince went missing
And the mob was at our door
The King would not see reason
Only vengeance, only war
My father's neck held in his grip
Until he was no more
But the prince was still alive!
And I said "May never a noble of your murderous line survive to reach a greater age than thine!"
Because I'm the Alchemist, creator of your fears
And I'm the sorcerer, a curse throughout the years
And I won't rest till no one's left
The ending of your line
Their lives are a prison of my design
Throughout the generations
They'd forgotten of my vow
But still my will be done
My curse stays stronger, even now
A tragic fall... a fatal brawl... all "accidents" each time
"Oh why must the young kings die?"
"May never a noble of your murderous line survive to reach a greater age than thine!"
Because I'm the Alchemist, creator of your fears
And I'm the sorcerer, a curse throughout the years
You won't escape this tragic fate
The ending of your line
Your life is a prison of my design
The final king's obsession to escape impending doom
Reached beneath the castle walls, where he chanced upon a room
And there he found his enemy, the man who cheated death
And I said, with my last breath
"It was I, The Alchemist, creator of your fears
It was I, The Sorcerer, I've waited all these years"
"And when you pass, you'll be the last
A victim of your line
Your life was a prison of my design"
I'm The Alchemist, I've lived a dozen lives
And I'm the sorcerer, the face of your demise
And from these walls
I've made you all believe this curse of mine
The engineer of all you fear, the terror in your mind
I've sacrificed eternal life for justice for the crime
Our lives were a prison of my design...
