Pyramid SandsThe Alchemist

[Intro] Final words still echo... ride beneath the moon's soft gleam... Then stone arises from the sand... the waking from a dream! Majestic Pyramids appear! Bathed in silent, silver light! My journey's end, my treasure near, tears fall into the night! [Verse 1] Tears hit sand, a scarab crawls, the sign my heart decreed! Right here! The spot! The digging starts, planting faith's small seed! Hands raw and bleeding, search the dark, for what the dream foretold... Footsteps near! Shadows loom! Figures seize and hold! "Refugees! Give us your gold!" Eyes burn with violent greed! They pull me out, they strike me down, plant fear's destructive seed! [Bridge] Beaten down, death feels so close, beneath the dawning red... "I dig for treasure!" scream the words, trapped inside my head! The leader laughs, "He has no more," then stops before he's gone... "Don't be so stupid, boy," he scoffs, his voice cold as the stone. "Two years ago, right here I dreamed," his bitter words spill free, "Of Spain... a church... a sycamore... with treasure waiting... for me." [Outro] His dream...? My church...? The sycamore...? He walked away unknown! He laughed at me! The Pyramids laugh! But seeds of joy are sown! I know the place! I know the tree! The circle is complete! The treasure's waiting back at home! Oh, victory is sweet! Maktub! It's written! Now I see! The journey makes me whole!
