Alchemist's Brew

[Verse] Castle bells tolling night brings chill In the shadows alchemist skilled Dark curse on the royal house King lies writhing spitting out [Verse 2] Eyes scan ancient dusty tomes Potion secrets buried in gnomes Boil and bubble bones and leaf Wisps of smoke bitter breath grief [Chorus] Magical tea to save the king Dark brew ready whispering Ancient power in every sip Hope hangs by a moonlit grip [Verse 3] Cauldron bubbles midnight calls Mystery swirls in ancient halls Chant of spells in voices dark Echoes deep ignite the spark [Bridge] Steam rises like a ghostly veil Alchemist's hands never fail Silver ladle in the brew Future hangs in drops of dew [Verse 4] With trembling hands he pours the cup Eyes of fear daring to sup King's breath stilled heart pounds slow Does the remedy break the woe
