The Alchemist Lyrics - The Chemical Wedding - Bruce Dickinson

Wash away the blackness with the silver rain 

Don't turn away, don't turn away 

Wash away the blackness with the silver rain 

Don't turn away, don't try to hide 

Sulphurous and burning, spitting out the sun 

The beginning of creation of the golden one 

A window to the west, a blazing star above 

In Taurus we begin it and the ladder has begun 

Don't try and blame me for your sins 

For the sun has burned me black 

Your hollow lives, this world in which we live 

I throw it back 

Four headed dragon for the four degrees of fire 

Purify the insane, bring the solution ever higher 

Bring me all the elements, spread them round my head 

Bring me mad men's bodies, I will break them all like bread 

Don't try and blame me for your sins 

For the sun has burned me black 

Your hollow lives, this world in which we live 

I hurl it back 

Don't try and blame me for your sins 

For the sun has burned me black 

Your hollow lives, this world in which we live 

I throw it back 

Don't try and blame me for your games 

Your games are death 

My world is light, the angels fill my eyes 

With every breath 

And so we lay, we lay in the same grave 

Our chemical wedding day 

And so we lay, we lay in the same grave 

Our chemical wedding day 

And so we lay, we lay in the same grave 

Our chemical wedding day 

{And all this vegetable world appeared on my left foot 

As a bright sandal formed, immortal, of precious stones and gold 

I stooped down and bound it on to walk forward through eternity}
