Man Of Theory Lyrics

There are men who seek cures for their lives

Antidotes are but easy to find

Symbols obscure, odd food for the mind

Blinkers occlude the smart side of the eye

Theorist stubborn, only codes to make out

Silence holds more answers than I thought

There are things books can't tell

Given schemes don't work well

What's inward: fear of failure

You can't turn lead into gold

Mercury means nothing to me

Salt and kings, dragon wings

Mean nothing to me

Turning dreams into reality

Destiny is all I want to achieve

Once a young man came to me and sighed

"Stop your mouth, your mania is to simplify"

Then he fell silent, his head bent down

After all he couldn't even testify

Well, the world was made for you and I

Alchemy could be learnt in one's daily life

So, the man got vexed with me

But my only care was to keep up the ride

To fail is to learn
