The Alchemist Blue Öyster Cult

I've walked a path of darkness
Just to open up my mind
I've learned of hidden secrets
Scattered through the depths of time
And at my father's side
I witnessed things I can't describe
"They must be evil!" the people cried

So when the prince went missing
And the mob was at our door
The King would not see reason
Only vengeance, only war
My father's neck held in his grip
Until he was no morе
But the prince was still alive!

And I said "May nеver a noble of your murderous line survive to reach a greater age than thine!"

Because I'm the Alchemist, creator of your fears
And I'm the sorcerer, a curse throughout the years

And I won't rest till no one's left
The ending of your line
Their lives are a prison of my design

Through the generations
They'd forgotten of my vow
But still my will be done
My curse stays stronger, even now
A tragic fall... a fatal brawl... all "accidents" each time
"Oh why must the young kings die?"
