Sea of Fire

February 2017

Inspired by Paul Coehlo’s The Alchemist

For two hundred years I’ve walked upon this world
Desert sands around me, they whipped and swirled
Learning the skills of what old men could’ve sold
Turning metal to gold using power before untold

But I’m wandering this sea of fire
And I’m wondering where the world rests
Ancient secrets told ’round a campfire
But I’ll keep my secrets close to my chest

Many travelers have come to the oasis
And over the years I’ve seen many different faces
Yearning for riches, for glory and power
Wanting to stretch their life another hour

But I’m wandering this sea of fire
And I’m wondering where the world rests
Ancient secrets told ’round a campfire
But I’ll keep my secrets close to my chest

Who’s this boy that’s such a special one
Coming out of the desert like the prodigal son
Is this to whom my legacy leaves
Once we all fall into a den of thieves

But I’m wandering this sea of fire
And I’m wondering where the world rests
Ancient secrets told ’round a campfire
But I’ll keep my secrets close to my chest

But I’m wandering this sea of fire
And I’m wondering where the world rests
Ancient secrets told ’round a campfire
But I’ll keep my secrets close to my chest

Close to my chest
Close to my chest
