King:
The century declared to us that
Alchemy was dead
The blend of art and science
Transforming gold from lead
But now I can reveal
Such discoveries were true
And I will make it happen here
Right now for all of you
A man could travel far
Walk the moon or stand on Mars
Take a sample from the sun
Use as fuel to fire a gun
Turn water into wine
Create fantasies divine
And all such things are possible
For those who have the
Heart and soul to try
This powder is the key
Through the years pa**ed down to me
Moving molecules about
Takes impurities right out
The proof is unequivocal
The evidence empirical
I offer every one of you
A thousand golden miracles
A man could learn to fly
Move the clouds that fill the sky
Calm a life volcano's flow
Turn the lava into snow
Find medicine in mould
Even cure the common cold
And all such things are possible
For those who have the
Courage and conviction to try
A chance like this is a gift from God
Never scrimp never save, never take that job
You'll have power you'll have strength
You can pander to yourself
With a never-ending tide of wealth
You can walk with pride
With more cash than you can bear
You can buy yourself a palace, or a crown
Mercenary 1:
Or more hair!
Mercenary 2:
I could sail away
Mercenary 3:
Change my clothing everyday
King:
With a never-ending tide of wealth…
Chorus:
La la la… with a never-ending tide of wealth
King:
A chance like this is a rare event
Never bow, never scrape
This is heaven sent
You'll have influence and wit
You can reinvent yourself
With a never-ending tide of wealth
You can stand so tall as you shine in the crowd
Your riches open doors…
Mercenary 4:
Could it make me well-endowed
Mercenary 5:
I could learn to read and write
Mercenary 6:
I would gamble every night!
King:
With a never-ending tide of wealth…
Chorus:
La la la… with a never-ending tide of wealth
Milosh:
Wait!
Demonstrate this alchemy
And flaunt the laws of nature
I pray you tell the truth if you cling to any future
There's a dagger for the liar that endeavors any ruse
I am watching you Professor
I can see your every move
I am watching you Professor
I am checking every move you make
King:
There's no need for you to doubt – the truth will out
Already it is clear, the final change is near
I offer to you now the stuff of hopes untold
King, Gardelle, Eva & Amelia:
Here!
King:
Before your very eyes
King, Gardelle, Eva & Amelia:
Here!
King:
This lead has turned to gold!
Milosh:
GOLD!!!
King:
So – A chance like this is a gift from God
Never scrimp never save, never take that job
You'll have power, you'll have strength
You can pander to yourself
With a never-ending tide of wealth
There's no end to the quantity of coins in your bank
Amelia:
But always keep in mind you have alchemy to thank
Milosh:
We'll be drawing gold from a never-ending well
King:
With a pinch of this powder
You guarantee yourselves
A never-ending tide of wealth…
King & Chorus:
La la la… with a never-ending tide of wealth
King:
Amelia, William…go now! We will meet you at the harbor…
Amelia:
Good luck!
