TarifaThe Alchemist

[Intro] Tarifa breathes... secrets on the breeze... Yeah... Listen... [Verse 1] Crossroads town, where oceans meet the shore Seeking answers for a dream I can't ignore Old woman reads my palm, speaks of pyramids afar Says, "Go find your treasure," leaves a questioning scar. She wants one-tenth the prize? Feels like another trick Just a dream about some gold, my patience wearing thick. Sitting weary on a bench, a book my only friend Then a stranger shares my wine, a story without end... [Verse 2] He knows my past, my parents' names, the path I left behind The seminary walls I fled, the freedom I hoped to find. Melchizedek, he calls himself, King of Salem's grace Says I've found my Personal Legend, written on my face. Speaks of destiny, a journey I must start "When you want something," he declares, "the universe plays its part." Offers wisdom, not for free, a tenth of flock's the price Six sheep I trade for stones and words, a crucial sacrifice. [Chorus] Tarifa's sun, reveals the guiding light Urim and Thummim, black stone and the white A choice is made, the sheep are sold, the journey takes its hold Maktub... a whispered fate... a story to be told. [Bridge] He tells a tale of oil drops, on a simple silver spoon See the world's great marvels, beneath the sun and moon But don't forget the treasure, that you carry deep inside Balance life's distractions, with nowhere left to hide. [Chorus] Tarifa's sun, reveals the guiding light Urim and Thummim, black stone and the white A choice is made, the sheep are sold, the journey takes its hold Maktub... a whispered fate... a story to be told. [Outro] Maktub... It is written... Go...
