"...and... from the essential saltes of humane dust a Philosopher may... call up the shape of any dead anscestor..." [Borellus]
Hidden away A dark legacy Unearths itself Just for me Secrets untold My ancestors world Brought back to life Alchemy My reflection in the canvas Staring back at me A portrait hiding knowledge From forgotten centuries Written in demonic texts I'd conjure up the dead But what I thought I could control Took hold of me instead
[Chorus:] Under control From beyond space and time Slowly it will drain away My life I see his face Like a mirror to mine The Alchemist will return He will return Oh but I shall be gone Deep in the earth I found his work Frozen in time Now I see Ashes of man An ungodly plan Risen to life sorcery What did I uncover Tell me, what did I just see? Murals paint remains of Some bizarre monstrosity Following the dragon's head He rose up from the dead A living corpse reborn again From which I can't defend
[Chorus:] Under control From beyond space and time Slowly it will drain away My life I see his face Like a mirror to mine The Alchemist will return He will return Oh but I shall be gone
[solo]
Now my time is ending In a realm of misery A portrait brought to life by Supernatural mystery With my dying breath Hear my warning I have said: "Don't call up what cannot be brought down"
[Chorus:] Under control From beyond space and time Slowly it will drain away My life I see his face Like a mirror to mine The Alchemist will return He will return Oh but I shall be gone
