about
"The Alchemist Vision" spins a tale of obsession and a longing for that which is unattainable.
lyrics
All the trinkets
All the gems in the world
A rare attraction
A porcelain girl is such a precious love
For centuries we have tried
Through the ages we have failed
The Midas touch is all I need
To lift away your veil
Change my heart
Change my cold heart
Now I have
Now I have nothing but time
The Midas touch
Is all I need
To lift away
Your veil
Change, change my heart
Change my cold heart
Now I have
Now I have nothing but time
For centuries, how we've all tried
Throughout the ages we have all failed
We have all failed
We have all failed
All the trinkets
All the gems in the world
A rare attraction
A violet flame
A precious love
Meaningless, meaningless!
Meaningless, meaningless!
All the gems in the world
A rare attraction
A porcelain girl is such a precious love
For centuries we have tried
Through the ages we have failed
The Midas touch is all I need
To lift away your veil
Change my heart
Change my cold heart
Now I have
Now I have nothing but time
The Midas touch
Is all I need
To lift away
Your veil
Change, change my heart
Change my cold heart
Now I have
Now I have nothing but time
For centuries, how we've all tried
Throughout the ages we have all failed
We have all failed
We have all failed
All the trinkets
All the gems in the world
A rare attraction
A violet flame
A precious love
Meaningless, meaningless!
Meaningless, meaningless!

Progressive rock, neoclassical, post-punk, tribal styles, carnival tunes, and more collide with anachronistic results. Established in 2003, they are globally recognized as the pioneers of the steampunk music movement. ... more
