lyrics

I dance the wind
Aloft my instincts aerial
Seeking ambrosia

Through nettles and thorns
Obstacles impede my quest
My magnum opus

We toil endlessly
Divine industry
We shall sanctify
With vigil and sacrifice

Sacred alchemy
A legacy untold
Transformation so sublime
Paint the world with gold

In writhing cauldrons obscure
Elements converge
Venom, wisdom, and wax
Tears of the sun
Raining up to the sky
Take wing!

I dance the sun
Motion embodying
The light divine

Teach what is known
A wordless vision of the world
To guide the faithful to their goal

Sacred alchemy
A legacy untold
Transformation so sublime
Paint the world with gold

I dance the smoke
Intoxicated blissful dream
Witness to calamity
Our secrets stolen as we slumber on
I’ve lost the sun
The wind it slips right through my glassy wings
My thoughts are ashes on the breeze
Lost and alone, I dance the soil
