Lyrics of The Alchemist by Iron Maiden
verse
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
verse
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
verse
My dreams of empire from my frozen queen
Will come to pass
Know me, I'm Magus
I am Dr. Dee
And this is my house
verse
I am the master of the tides
I shame the mirror in my sight
What random music of the spheres
Across the years
chorus
Know this
I will return to this land
Rebuild where the ruins did stand
Chain up the demons set free
Strange alchemy
verse
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
verse
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
chorus
My dreams of empire from my frozen queen
Will come to pass
Know me, I'm Magus
I am Dr. Dee
And this was my house
verse
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
chorus
Know this
I will return to this land
Rebuild where the ruins did stand
Chain up the demons set free
Strange alchemy
chorus
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
Writer(s): Stephen Percy Harris, Bruce Dickinson, Janick Gers
