IRON MAIDEN lyrics : "The alchemist"

Stranger than the comet as it streaks across the sky
Stranger than the truth I know before my open eyes
I have dealt in mysteries and trickery, of light to entertain

Looked into the abyss, called it by its name

I have plundered time itself, put the world inside it

I'm the mysteries, day and night, divide it
A plague of wonders, on your knees beside me
Know the secrets, you shall not deride us


My dreams of empire from my frozen queen
Will come to pass

Know me, the Magus
I am Dr. Dee
And this is my house


I am the master of the tides
I shame the mirror in my sight

What random music of the spheres
Across the years


Know this
I will return to this land
Rebuild where the ruins did stand

Chain up the demons set free
Strange alchemy


Gather round the aimless and the feckless and the lame
Hear the master summon up the spirits by their names
I curse you Edward Kelley your betrayal for eternity is damned

Know you speak with demons, you cannot command

Even as I looked into the glass then I was blinded

Burning by the Mortlake shore my house my books inside it
You have taken up my wife and lain beside her
Now the black rain on my house, the timbers burning


My dreams of empire from my frozen queen
Will come to pass

Know me, the Magus
I am Dr. Dee
And this was my house


I was the keeper of the books
I had the knowledge of the scrolls

But now through ignorance and fear
I cast a shadow through the years


Know this
I will return to this land
Rebuild where the ruins did stand

Chain up the demons set free
Strange alchemy


Know this
I will return to this land
Rebuild where the ruins did stand

Chain up the demons set free
Strange alchemy


Know this
I will return to this land
Rebuild where the ruins did stand

Restore the knowledge memory
Strange alchemy
