Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The writing's on the wall
Will you go on and fool yourself?
In no time you'll be done
Refusing to adjust yourself to the flow
Why walk the stoney road?
You won't get out alive
[Verse 2]
Nobody understands it, do you?
Come in and look around
Every single stroke, they say, was worth the pain
Now in this gallery of wonder
You wonder what it's all about
We're sellin' sun in the rain
[Verse 3]
We're gonna give them bite-sized harmony
Oh, we're gonna shove it down their throat
[Verse 4]
Dreams of fire, we are alchemy
You set out on the losin' end
Gonna make you whole again
Grace to diamonds, we are alchemy
No one to be left in need
We're gilding their reality
[Verse 5]
We gotta keep on dancin'
While tears pour out of blackened skies
Another shade of drama
Spectators weepin' over cries that broken heroes
Cracked from crazy minds
And by the way now
[Verse 6]
They who play the piper call the tune at last
Knowin' what you wanna give and what it's gonna do
Feeding on desire, the specters shall arise
Right in front of their eyes
[Verse 7]
We're gonna give them the perfect harmony
Oh, we're gonna shove it down their throats
[Verse 8]
Dreams of fire, we are alchemy
You set out on the losin' end
Gonna make you whole again
Grace to diamonds, we are alchemy
No one to be left in need
We're gilding their reality
[Verse 9]
We'd never lie, we're never ever gonna let you down
When danger and distraction lie in wait
We'd never lie, when dreams aspire to take you down
We'd never dare to lie to you
You're just spared the part of truth
That doesn't make any sense to you
[Verse 10]
Dreams of fire, we are alchemy
You set out on the losing end
Gonna make you whole again
Grace to diamonds, we are alchemy
No one to be left in need
A new take on reality
