The workshop is dark, the furnace is bright I'm working through the shadows of the night Collecting every tear and every scar Trying to find out where the diamonds are The Mercury rises, the pressure is high I'm looking for the Sun in a midnight sky Add a little bit of sorrow, add a bit of fire Burn away the ego, burn away desire The formula is ancient, the magic is new I'm distilling the essence of me and you Lead to gold, or so I'm told Turning the stories that I've sold Into a dream that I can hold I'm the alchemist of my own soul Yeah, I'm changing the grey into a holy light Turning the heavy into something bright The ink on the page starts to glow The more that I lose, the more that I know The bitterness turns into a sweet refrain There's a strange kind of healing inside the pain I'm melting the chains, I'm pouring the mould I'm refining the secrets that I've never told Add a little bit of sorrow, add a bit of fire Burn away the ego, burn away desire The formula is ancient, the magic is new I'm distilling the essence of me and you Lead to gold, or so I'm told Turning the stories that I've sold Into a dream that I can hold I'm the alchemist of my own soul Yeah, I'm changing the grey into a holy light Turning the heavy into something bright Transmutation From the dust to the stars Every wound is a masterpiece Look at the gold in these scars Lead to gold, or so I'm told Turning the stories that I've sold Into a dream that I can hold I'm the alchemist of my own soul Yeah, I'm changing the grey into a holy light Turning the heavy into something bright I'm the alchemist Turn it into gold (Into gold)
