Base Metal Into Gold Lyrics

In a shadowed room of whispers old
An ancient tale will unfold
He seeks the secret buried deep
He dreams of gold in his sleep

From long ago this tale is told
To turn base metal into gold

But in the end what does he find
Another dead end in his mind
No gold from lead no golden spark
His hopes are broken all is dark

From long ago this tale is told
To turn base metal into gold

Through the hours his hands they toil
The fire burns the metals boil
In this dark age so long ago
There was so much he did not know

From long ago this tale is told
To turn base metal into gold
The alchemist so strange and bold
A quest to find and to hold
Base metal that has turned gold
