Salt And Sulphur

I am the sun

I am the sea

I am the leaf falling from tree

I am the thrice great allusion

to this alchemical fusion

I am the earth

I am the air

I am the watcher without care

I am the ice

I am the fire

The unseen creator of desire
 

Verse:

I was the one to set the world aflame

I was the four that before anything came

I was the seven whose metals are melted

I was the twelve in the heavens so sheltered

I was the seed of sacredness planted

I was the words of power thus chanted

I was the tree who blossomed so very far

I was the one who rose from the altar

I was the light that shined upon no-one

I was the key to bring all undone

I was the one sought in ages olden

I was the one who turned silver golden
 

Chorus:

Fallen angel, or deity?

Bringer of benevolence,

Or misery?

Guiding angel, or falsity?

Secret malevolence

bathed in Mercury?

Healing powder, of immortality?

Prophet of deliverance,

Or Enemy?

Distilled power, of Alchemy

or blessed ignorance

breeding lunacy?
 

Bridge:

Eye of Horus

Mouth of Thoth

Emerald Tablet

Crimson cloth
 

Verse:

I was the one whose word first spoken

became the four worlds falling and broken

I was the seven chakras realigned

I was the twenty two paths redesigned

I was the seed of sacredness planted

I was the words of power thus chanted

I was the tree who blossomed so very far

I was the one who rose from the altar
