Pre-order/pre-save here: https://ffm.to/boc50ththirdnight "The Alchemist" Lyrics: I've walked a path of darkness Just to open up my mind I've learned of hidden secrets Scattered through the depths of time And at my father's side I witnessed Things I can't describe "They must be evil!" The people cried So when the prince went missing And the mob was at our door The king would not see reason Only vengeance, only war My father's neck held in his grip Until he was no more But the prince was still alive And I said May never a noble of your murderous line Survive to reach a greater age than thine Because I'm the Alchemist creator of your fears I'm the Sorcerer, a curse throughout the years And I won't rest 'til no one's left The ending of your line Their lives are a prison of my design Through the generations They'd forgotten of my vow But still my will be done My curse stays stronger even now A tragic fall, a fatal brawl All accidents each time Oh, why must the young kings die? May never a noble of your murderous line Survive to reach a greater age than thine It was I The Alchemist creator of their fears It was I The Sorcerer, a curse throughout the years You won't escape your tragic fate The ending of your line Your life is a prison of my design The final king's obsession To escape impending doom Reached beneath the castle walls Where he chanced upon a room And there he found his enemy The man who cheated death And I said With my last breath It was I The Alchemist, creator of your fears It was I The Sorcerer, I've waited all these years And when you pass you'll be the last A victim of your line Your life was a prison of my design 'Cause I'm the alchemist I've lived a dozen lives I'm the sorcerer The face of your demise And from these walls I've made you all Believe this curse of mine The engineer Of all you fear The terror in your mind I've sacrificed Eternal life For justice for the crime Our lives were a prison of my design "50th Anniversary Live - Third Night" Tracklist: (side A) 1 CAREER OF EVIL (side A) 2 SUBHUMAN (side A) 3 DOMINANCE AND (side A) 4 M E 262 (side A) 5 CAGEY CRETINS (side A) 6 HARVESTER OF EYES (side A) 7 FLAMING TELEPATHS (side A) 8 ASTRONOMY (side A) 9 STAIRWAY TO THE STARS (side A) 10 GOLDEN AGE OF LEATHER (side A) 11 TAINTED BLOOD (side B) 1 BURNIN' FOR YOU (side B) 2 SHOOTING SHARK (side B) 3 BLACK BLADE (side B) 4 TRAIN TRUE (LENNY'S SONG) (side B) 5 BUCK'S BOOGIE (side B) 6 GODZILLA (side B) 7 TENDERLOIN (side B) 8 SINFUL LOVE (side B) 9 (DON'T FEAR) THE REAPER (side B) 10 THE ALCHEMIST (side B) 11 I LOVE THE NIGHT (side B) 12 JOAN CRAWFORD (side B) 13 CITIES ON FLAME WITH ROCK AND ROLL Subscribe To Frontiers Music Srl YouTube Channel: http://radi.al/SubscribeFrontiers THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!
