Avantasia - Alchemy Lyrics
The writing's on the wall
Will you go on and fool yourself?
In no time you'll be done
Refusing to adjust yourself to the flow
You won't get out alive
Nobody understands it, do you?
Come in and look around:
Every single stroke, they say
Was worth the pain
Now, in this gallery of wonder
You wonder what it's all about
Well, selling sun in the rain!
Oh, we're gonna shove it down their throats
Dreams and fire - we are alchemy
You set out on the losing end
Gonna make you whole again
Waste to diamonds - we are alchemy
No one to be left in need
We're gilding their reality
We gotta keep 'em dancing
While tears pour out of blackened skies
Another shade of drama
Spectators weeping over cries
That broken heroes
Drag from crazy minds
And by the way, now:
They who pay the piper call the tune at last
Knowing what you wanna give
And what is gonna do
Feeding on desire
The spectres shall arise
Right in front of their eyes
We're gonna give them perfect harmony
Oh, we're gonna shove it down their throats
Dreams and fire - we are alchemy
You set out on the losing end
Gonna make you whole again
Waste to diamonds - we are alchemy
No one to be left in need
We're gilding their reality
We'd never lie
We're never ever gonna let you down
When danger and distraction lie in wait
We'd never lie
When dreams aspire to take you down
We' never dare to lie to you
You're just spared the part of truth
That doesn't make any sense to you...
Dreams and fire - we are alchemy
You set out on the losing end
Gonna make you whole again
Waste to diamonds - we are alchemy
No one's to be left in need
A new take on reality

Avantasia Alchemy Comments
I'm stuck on this song, it's so damn good. Geoff Tate really blew me away here...
Brutal🤘😍🤘
Biggest mistake queensryche made was kicking Tate out. The man is a power house and fits with Tobi's voice and style so well.
essa taokey, taokey?
awesome
Foda de mais
This song rocks until 2:20 when it sort of deflates itself, i was waiting for it to keep a more tight grip on the hard level, then it peaks back at some points later but a bit dissapointed of it.
Reminds me of Devin Townsend songs.
The songs with Geoff Tate r the weakest in this album he's a great singer but they just drag and don't get anywhere
попса хреновая для стада противно овцы
с некоторых пор полюбил слушать только вас -фанат хочу приезда вашей группы в Украину Вы супер банда
Туров уже достаточно много было, но к нам так и не заехали... Я вот хочу и жду ДВД )))
Am I the only one to hear the riff 'Master Of The Pendulum' again in this song?
haha same
WELCOME BACK TOO AVANTASIA.
Tate fucking slays on this track. Wish he got involved in a supergroup or something.
For me personally Tobi is the highest genius in the music scene. So many great songs. He rly knows which singer fits in which role. #LoveTobiSammet.
With "Book of Shallows " my favorite Song 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Man I'm glad this is over 7 min👍
Taaaaattttttee
And a masterpiece was born
Can I find somewhere this art at 4:50? :p
El tema con geoff tate es impresionante.
Geoff tate and tobias sammet!!! It's so much to me! Incredible song
De huevos/,,/
Avantasia MindCrime
simplismente magnifica....para mim e a melhor musica do album...
Gotta admit- Tate sounds really good on this one. I can't even imagine how tough it has to be to pull off those high notes after all these years. Nice work!
See you soon, in the Basque Country 🎙️😍🤘
Nunca ouvi música ruim do Avantasia. Puta projeto sensacional.
Quem gosta de Avantasia dá like .🎩🎩
Geoff Tate é um ícone num pedestal ao lado de outros vocalistas. Um cara que merece toda dignação dos metaleiros. Tenho orgulho de participar desta geração.
Чё это, блять, за хуйня?
That's fucking bullshit.
today i did the right thing. i bought tickets to see Avantasia, May 17 in San Jose, CA. and oh yeah, one more thing - fuck you American radio for ignoring Avantasia.
I feel like they try to much with their melodies...i wish they were more of a traditional hard like with some power metal elements like their first few albums but this crap is too modern..that first riff here is so not melodic...
Reminds me of something from hellfire club
This song is called Alchemy, because everything Geoff touches, turns to gold ^^
Same goes for Tobi apparently.
Especially the albums from the ten years before he left Queensryche.
Falta KOTIPELTO la puta que la Pario
Danke für's Einblenden des Textes! Diese neue Art von Musikvideos ist eine wahre Bereicherung!
sorry, but I heard the last "Great Tobi" in Avantasia pt. II.
The Seven Angels was one of the best songs of all times. This song is not bad, but it's nothing special.
Good old times are gone.
Respect for the man, but maybe Nuclear Blast should give more opportunities to emergent bands instead of publishing always the same stuff since 15 years.
David Snake Doe Thanks for giving your (unpopular) opinion. Everybody else still wants to listen to Tobi's excellent work. Listen to other bands if you want.
@Sly S I dont' care if "everbody else" thinks this music is "new".
I just don't feel emotions anymore in this music, I go back to early 2000 when I want to remember how Avantasia was.
And I mean no offense to anybody.
I underline the fact that Nuclear Blast should focus on discover new talents, anyway
I really don't understand this sentiment. While the Metal Opera Pts. I and II are good, Tobias has grown so much as a composer since then...
Tobi's vocals haven't been this good in a long time! AVANTASIA!!!! <3<3
HELL YEAH! One of my fav songs from the album will be GREAT seeing Tate live in Sweden!
Impresionante, congratulations... I lover this álbum
Another masterpiece from a fantastic album! Tobias Sammett can't write bad songs!
gorgeus.... tnx for this
Can u imagine a song duet kiske- tate???
That would be killer! I've loved Kiske since the 80's. He was my favorite lead singer in Helloween. Kai and Andi were good but Kiske just had that creepy vibe in his voice that captured the Helloween feel. :}
The world would implode if that were to ever happen
Dioses!!!...tan larga se me hizo la espera por otro super-tema de mi banda favorita!...😍👍
Awesome! Geoff Tate killed it!!!
Mais uma música maravilhosa 🤘😊
to me this is 1 more wow killer game trailer... imo, to much trying in pretty much anything..
Would love to see an avantasia and beast in black collaboration doing a concept album based on full metal alchemist (manga)/brotherhood (anime).
Oh hell ya! With Tobias' record of choosing guest vocalists, Yannis would be a killer addition. :}
@VenusDistorted I agree. I imagine Tobias could do Edward elric and yannis could be Alphonse. Jorn Lande could be Father.
good song just im not feeling the "magic" on solo and verses... but on chorus? hell ye! like an epic bell saving the song imo
I´m tired of video's with only lyrics, someone should invest in a real video.
Moonglow has a real video.
😁😎😎
I would like to see this band alive with Adrianne Cowan
Masterpiece so worth listening to love it
Maybe the best Song on this epic Album. See you in Osnabrück
Metal is Forever
Great as Always 🤘
Great as Always 🤘
Vaya,, Tobi nos sigue maravillando con Moonglow🤘🤘🙌🙌🤗🤗🤗
Geoff is the Man!! Amazing Track!!!
The vocal work is perfect as the tones and melodies of the singers are interwoven. The vocal performance is excellent between Geoff Tate & Tobias. This is my favorite song of Moonglow album!!!
Ahhhhh, this one is so cool! I wonder who selects the images for these lyric videos? Is Tobi involved or is it just Nuclear Blast people? I ask because I search for hints about the story in the choice of pictures, but maybe I shouldn't if Tobi has no involvement. I'm very interested in the number of occult images used. Also curious that most of the images with people, feature women. I don't know if there's a reason for any of this or it just happened that way while looking for cool pictures. And the pictures are really awesome!
Loved this album guys, it's so amazing as Ghostlights
I don't know why, but I can't like this one as much as I like Ghost in the Moon
Because Ghost In The Moon is just the absolute coolest and nothing can beat it?
@Aceofhearts Absolute. I hope Ghost of the moon will be the next video
great stuff
My fave on the new album, nice to have an official video to it! 😁
How come i missed this group? They are pretty good.
Never mind how it happened. You're here now. Welcome! :) This album is picking up a lot of new fans.
Uma das melhores faixas do Álbum.
Was muss man für geilen Sex gehabt haben um hinterher einen solchen Song zu schreiben👍
Die Dame muss wohl Höchstleistungen vollbringen wenn man alle Alben betrachtet
Aver cuando activas edguy Tobías que está medio para abajo este disco
PERFECT!!!
"We're gonna shove it down their throats" hits me
that's roy kahn than kgod I wanted him to do this, and I hope he does more without having to travel.
sorry its tate.
IS PURE ALCHEMY!!!🔥🔥🔥
I LOVE THIS SONG~!!!!!!
Boring.
Este álbum es único y espectacular

P E R F E C T
Wow sounds better ....than Tate's band...or Solo projects.
They should make a video with history, and not lyrics or simple repeated images...
I was waiting for this so much! THANK YOU TOBIAS!
YES! OMG THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG
Dreams and fire, extremely overused words on this album. Great song though.
best song of the new album!
How can someone deslike this.
Nice, want to see you guys live so badly
Can't wait to hear it live! =D
Mi favorita del Moonglow, sin duda alguna. 💚
sounds very good.....
this is one of my faves on the album such a banger
Geoff Tate kick ass
I love avantasia thanks for the video. When I play avantasia for my coworkers they've never heard of the band and they love it I've been a fan for a long long time
💜💜💜💜💜
Don't know if there will be anymore lyric videos after this one, but if there is...I suggest Requiem for a Dream!
Lavender demands one too
Best song on the record..........Jorn is criminally under used on it.....Geoff Tate is the Star of this one.
Jorn Lande wasn't used much because his character of lucifer or the devil whatever you wanna call him, doesn't appear much.
Master 😎 the best song for álbum 😍🤘🏻
Geoff Tate is definitely the standout on this album. He just kills it! I hope Geoff can join a new band some day - one that is not related to Queensrÿche. Geoff's work in Avantasia and early Queensrÿche proves that, when he has someone else writing songs for him, he is a force of nature! He'd make a damn epic power metal singer 🙌
I like Hansi more on the album, but Hansi isn't touring and this song is fantastic. Looking forward to seeing them in Massachusetts!
The thing is that in this work his voice sounds the closer to the good old days that it can get and I could imagine. I'm surprised, I thought his voice was completely ruined by now. Let's see how he will do live on the stage!
I have to say, although I am, of course, partial to Geoff Tate, Todd La Torre has done a pretty good job picking up where things were left. He does a good job of emulating those operatic vocals Tate is famous for
@cramx3 Hansi isn't touring? He just did with Demons & Wizards.
@Vadim Ast Projects I meant not touring with Avantasia, I met Hansi at the last Demons & Wizards show
