Philosophers' Stone

Nevermore will I be searching through the shadows Magnum opus, my great work Evermore will I seek immortality For I may die, but my work remains, my legacy Can you hear the sound of Sands of time flowing through the hourglass? Time is slipping away, chime rust flipping gray Can you see the flame? My candle burns at both ends To find at last death cure, immortal and pure Subject defies nature Design cells that divide perfectly No more infection, one simple injection The missing piece of the puzzle Why does it fail every single time? Maybe we're meant to be, riddled with misery Nevermore will I be searching through the shadows Magnum opus, my great work Evermore will I seek immortality For I may die, but my work remains, my legacy
