The Alchemist Lyrics by Monuments

The Amanuensis

2014

[Verse 1]
We all live in a world where our thoughts are overtaken by chaos
Realize every moment that you're living lies in the stream
Defined by right? How could you ever know?
There is a better way, there is a better way
Outward (Outward)
Beyond the light (Beyond the light)
Inside (Inside)
The world bends around me, become the tide
Through shedding this form, become the tide

[Verse 2]
The world surrounds me
I'm alone, but I make the most of borrowed time
The river eternal, the tongues of old
Whispering in secret, the question elect!

[Chorus]
Who am I?
The brightest light in all of creation
Who decides?
Foretold ages since a mystic once said
Deep within memory, deeper within me
Everything's written from one
We divine
We'll change everything by all that we can devise
Hold that in mind as all burns
The world bends around thee, become the tide!

[Bridge]
The devil's deep inside
The devil's deep inside
The devil's deep inside
A seed in this lonely world (Taken over)
To one and every name (Taken over)
Let it all grow (Taken over, taken over)
Let it all grow again (Taken over)
You wouldn't know again (Taken over)
It's already over (Taken over)
It's already over!

[Verse 3]
Through shedding this form, it’s already gone
Ooh, they'll step on your will, they'll shed all your faith
They'll wither you down to nothing, and then some
It's better to hold deep and stand alone
While these skeptics whisper the question elect

[Chorus]
Who am I?
The brightest light in all of creation
Who decides?
Foretold ages since a mystic once said
Deep within memory, deeper within me
Everything’s written from one
We divine
We'll change everything in all that is alive
