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
