A song about Alchemy. One can interpret Alchemy as turning useless metals into gold, but it's actually a spiritual allegory for the transformation of the human soul and how we can raise ourselves, our consciousness, and how we can come to know the truth if we choose to seek it.
lyrics
Wisdom Of Ages
Engraved in the pages
Hidden in stages...
Oh, the wisdom of ages.....
Time...
And space
Constructs of the mind
We seek to bridge the gap
That exists in all mankind
The trinity of our experience
Distilled down into existence
Stand in awe, bare witness.
Time...and space
Attentions undivided,
The currency of sages.
This life, taking form.
This life taking form (This life)
This life taking form (This life)
This life taking form... (This life)
Wisdom Of Ages
Where truth is god
and knowledge is king
Oh, the wisdom of ages...
Wisdom of ages...
The wisdom of ages...
Ahhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhh
