ALCHEMY
Lyrics by Moira Murphy

Verse 1
Your fires freeze me,
Rivers of icy flame
That flows from your tongue,
Envelops me, envelops me again.
Your agate streams to my tiger’s eye,
A journey into your lust.
A fire beneath
Blackened crust, blackened crust.

Chorus
Oh— a universe of sighs
Oh— how far between?
Oh— how far between?
These ridges of identity,
These ridges of identity.

Verse 2
Your hot winds, they floor me,
Breath released, a smog
That sticks and obscures,
Smothers me, smothers me in fog.
Your granite Zenith,
Hides me from solarity.
Too much to bear, you are
Towering, towering into polarity.

Chorus
Oh— a universe of sighs
Oh— how far between?
Oh— how far between?
These ridges of identity,
These ridges of identity.

Chorus
Oh— a universe of sighs
Oh— how far between?
Oh— how far between?
These ridges of identity,
These ridges of identity.
These ridges of identity,
Ridges of identity.
