Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/2065741
Verse 1
In the age of the alchemist
Lived a mage who sought the emerald mist
And he sailed into the great abyss
To the land of the alchemist

Chorus
Turning ashes to diamonds
Turning ashes to diamonds

Verse 2
So he made an offering to Kairon
And he magnetized a crucifix of iron
And he moved like a man possessed
By the ancient dance of the alchemist

Chorus
Turning ashes to diamonds
Turning ashes to diamonds

Verse 3
In the age of the alchemist
Appeared a mage who moved in hieroglyphs
And he proclaimed a transubstantiary myth
By the grace of the alchemist

Chorus
Turning ashes to diamonds
Turning ashes to diamonds
