Mercury-Amalgam Gold (Fulcanelli)

Fulcanelli

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your synapses fire like mercury dancing in flame,
Each dendrite a bridge where my molecules claim
The space between us, transmuted and bright,
You're the philosopher's stone burning gold in the night.
In the crucible of your touch, I'm refined and remade,
Every impurity burning away as our atoms cascade.

[Chorus]
You dissolve all my base metal into something divine,
Every neurotransmitter singing—your frequency, mine,
We're the great work perfected, the hidden stone found,
Two elements fusing where love can be crowned.

[Verse 2]
Your gaze holds the secrets that alchemists sought,
The laboratory of your heart, carefully wrought,
My prefrontal cortex surrenders its walls,
You're the elixir that answers my body's own calls.
In the furnace of your wanting, I'm liquefied gold,
A transformation more precious than anything sold.

[Bridge]
In your limbic echoes, I find every clue,
Oxytocin flooding, I'm tethered to you,
The vessel contains us—two spirits align,
Your quintessence mixing eternally with mine.
In the retort of your breath, I dissolve and reform,
Beneath all your skin, I've become something warm.

[Chorus]
You dissolve all my base metal into something divine,
Every neurotransmitter singing—your frequency, mine,
We're the great work perfected, the hidden stone found,
Two elements fusing where love can be crowned.

[Chorus]
You dissolve all my base metal into something divine,
Every neurotransmitter singing—your frequency, mine,
We're the great work perfected, the hidden stone found,
Two elements fusing where love can be crowned.

[Outro]
Your fire keeps burning through infinite night,
The mercury dances, forever alight,
We're the stone that transforms everything into light.
