	Story Behind the Song "Alchemy" was the first song that the five of us wrote together musically. From a lyrical standpoint, I was trying to evoke the idea that the five of us transformed ourselves from individuals into a cohesive unit. Some of the mechanical/sci-fi imagery just grew out of what I was thinking about at the time. -Steve Ratchen Lyrics ALCHEMY Twice held in infamy-Once more to rot beneath the sun........... A chosen one? Splendor or sanity-reveal yourself to me........... Eager in your discontent A Winterset so cold The dream is fading fast-an ego uncontrolled You look so terrified-tell me what you see Love's lost-I'm all alone-free this misery Lamenting tales of woe-the darkness drains my skin Preserved so gracefully-a process without end Detach inequity-severed authority Life irreversible-within a single grasp................... Alchemy-take my hand-alive in this nether land........... Alchemy-understand-Change is happening............ Alchemy-now you see-beyond this narrow mind.............. Alchemy.......................... Confusion reigns supreme-rebirth in chaos true Alignment is complete, my friend-ashes to gold Your hope is scarified-a lustful animation A life beyond control-Truth in disguise............... Beyond this mortal coil-collective hierarchy A lost forgotten soul-alive in anarchy You will assimilate-organic chemistry A change will come to you in a future unforeseen.................... (Chorus) Alchemy........................... (c)_Plastic Giraffe Productions 1998
