    The Age of Alchemy

    2026

    We’re living bright in the forge of time
    As rigid ways are smelted down
    We’re melding minds with the fire of rhyme
    As darkened days are turned around

    For this is the Age of Alchemy
    Of turning iron into gold
    As we write the page of destiny
    We dare to dream and break the mould

    Rise up new Technologies of Hope
    Rise up like a phoenix from the flame
    Expand the borders of our mind-scope
    For a better future’s ours to claim

    We’re shaping worlds in the burning heat
    As trials temper wills of steel
    We’re sparking hope to the hammer’s beat
    As stone-cold hearts begin to feel

    For this is the Age of Alchemy
    Of reinvention and rebirth
    As we change the tide of history
    We save ourselves and save the Earth
