The Tide Of Wealth Songtext
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 passed 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 hick!
