Lyrics
It's what the ancients call alchemy of the soul,
Who said lead can't be turned into gold.
-

Windless breeze of wisdom,
Scentless fragrance; timeless, silent rhythm,
Hueless prism through which
Seas of meaning pierce through spirits risen.

Seekers bloom with states,
The lovers soar with no abiding station,
Sinners turn to saints,
A golden ray to save the meek and patient.

Stillness is its garden,
In which seedlings bathe in rays of presence,
Brokenness, its water,
Quenching thirsts of those who graze in essence.

Its ocean quenches deserts,,
Drowned in beauty witnessing its pleasance,
Peasants praised by kings,
By their adornment in its sacred dresses.

-
It's what the ancients call alchemy of the soul,
Who said lead can't be turned into gold.
-

Windless breeze of wisdom,
Hidden valley in the hearts of men,
A majestic presence,
Like the king inside the lions den,

Roaming every land,
In search of hearts for a silent friend,
Thirsty souls,
Looking to quench their thirsts with the light again.

Blazing fire drowning
Every shadow that desire sends,
Staircase to the heavens on which
Open inner eyes ascend

Traveling the spectrum
Of hearts melodies to the higher ends
Healing their broken wings
And watching them rise again

-
It's what the ancients call alchemy of the soul,
Who said lead can't be turned into gold.
