lyrics

Apocryphal enlightened figures
usurped the wiseman's name
inventing fictional works
and false attributions

to inflame the great star
with the heliotrope
to divine the future
with the chelonite

in an allegorical dream
Mercurius riding the peacock
consigning the keys
to his mythical dwelling
and a chest with four locks
that hid the alchemical mysteries

like the other key
to open the sanctuary
which somebody cast
into the azure
