Alchemy Sounded Good At The Time Lyrics

'Twas the oldest story in the book,

He desires the one thing he cannot
have



My darling queen, I lay myself at your feet

And I shall
stay the hands of fate



Wind cries out, heavens boil above 

Voicing discontent to my sins

I have found the way to trick the
ferryman

I have deceived the ancient gods



Cold flesh lends
to me 

Its secrets for a price too high

I shudder at what I have
done

Each day brings me closer to you, 

My tragic victory



Darling queen I lay at your feet...

Chills take me as she wakes,


Throat gasps tainted breath

I've reclaimed you my stolen bride

Can your soul forgive my crimes of passion?

I would not close the
casket; 

I'm so consumed by your pain

Faint screams echo through
the night...



Cold flesh lends to me 

Its secrets for a price
too high

I shudder at what I have done

Each day brings me closer to
you, 

My tragic victory



The pains of death can 

No
longer haunt you 

As the dawning sky brings 

Forth one forsaken
thought

Death can not win for I now 

Dwell in the palace of
decay

And I shall stay the hands of fate



Night descends,
sinews twitch

My pale queen finally stands 

To taste silent lips


Now cursed with her love



Cold flesh lends to me 

Its
secrets for a price too high

I shudder at what I have done

Each day
brings me closer to you, 

My tragic victory
