Clive Nolan - Tide of Wealth lyrics

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!
