white wizard / philosopher’s stone Guitars by Chris, all else by Frank Miller

how many times
does it take to get it right
how many minds
have sought to gain those heights
the philosopher’s stone
doesn’t seem to be real
transmuting metals
into new shiny gold
living eternally
just can never be?
come drink the elixir of life
come let eternity be your wife
raising people from the dead
are you sure it was all nonsense, said?
ask john dee
i think he knows
or the infamous zito
to put on a show
just what do you have
hidden in your clock
something wonderful
eternal life locked
come drink the elixir of life
come let eternity be your wife
raising people from the dead
are you sure it was all nonsense, said?
how would you like to live forever
to make gold from any metal
how would you like eternal youth
find the philosopher’s stone!
philosopher’s stone
here me, eternity
unlock your mysteries
before me!
not like I’m selling my soul
evil is not my goal
kind of a white magic
i take on as my role
come to me eternity
let me forever be 21
but i chose to do good
for the world has enough evil
in came the magic winds
and took my age away
i felt brand new
yet my intellect remained
it’s been 6000 years
I’ve helped man when i could
things have not gone well cause
man does things he never should
playing around with nuclear toys
ruining the environment and all
and i the white wizard
might again, watch man fall
