Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
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 (retrograde)
A transmutation is taking place (taking place)
A silver tide of violent waves
(A silver tide of violent waves)
Is crashing right through my veins
(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 (wax and wane)
Invigorated like a flame, always changing shape
A silver tide of violent waves
(A silver tide of violent waves)
Is crashing right through my veins
(Is crashing right through my veins)
Through my veins
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"
