lyrics

Alchemy of Suffering

Nature, one man lend you fire,
Another dulls you with his grief.
What says to one: Here is the grave,
Says to the other: Glory, Life!

Hermes, my unknown helper whom
I always fear, you now enlist
Me as a second Midas here
The saddest of all alchemist.

Gold becomes iron through your spell
And paradise a living hell:
In heavy sheets of cloud I see

The shrouded corpse of all I love,
And on celestial shores above
I build immense sarcophagi.
