Alchemy (feat. Brian Hughes & Caroline Lavelle)

True alchemy takes many forms and states

The struggle once engaged with lead

The fates decreed was doomed to fail

As gold could not transcend

From what assumed a greater weight

But alchemy arises all around

An unborn baby's beating heart

A sound unheard in its particularity

A soul and blood awakening from the ground

Know the sea is danger, that the waves are crazy

Never let the fear be a reason for staying ashore

If they try to tell you that you'll never make it

Be prepared to get up just one more time than you fall

Take all the things that are at rise of sun

Then, when the artist's day of work is done

In plucking from the air and nothingness

Adds to the sum of earthly things by one

Then alchemy arises all around

An unborn baby's beating heart

A sound unheard in its particularity

A soul and blood awakening from the ground

Know the sea is danger, that the waves are crazy

Never let the fear be a reason for staying ashore

If they try to tell you that you'll never make it

Be prepared to get up just one more time than you fall

A tremble on the surface

The calm before the wild vastness fades to night

And glows with stars

Then you are a vessel filled with light

Cowards are the brave

True alchemy the mystery is ours

To take and when we break the higher towers

That bar our path from view

To our true gold

When ashes sown with seeds are turned to flowers

Then alchemy arises all around

An unborn baby's beating heart

A sound unheard in its particularity

A soul and blood awakening from the ground

Know the sea is danger, that the waves are crazy

Never let the fear be a reason for staying ashore

If they try to tell you that you'll never make it

Be prepared to get up just one more time than you fall

Know the sea is danger, that the waves are crazy

Never let the fear be a reason for staying ashore

If they try to tell you that you'll never make it

Be prepared to get up just one more time than you fall
