The Philosopher's Stoned
05:59

|
Got herbs and spices alight in my cauldron
Magical gasses, alchemical concoction
As I ascend into my enlightening
I see life's meaning, the truth redefining
Oh, the philosopher's stoned
Yeah, the philosopher's stoned
Oh, the philosopher's stoned
Yeah, the philosopher's stoned
Green in my eyes as I look into purple skies
A golden tear falls as the dragon of the cosmos flies
Grasped in it's hand is the ever fading silver sun
The landscapes drain away, sucked into my demon lung
Falling and feeling a hunger sensation
For sustenance and a higher elevation
Brewing in beaker the third eye's beginnin
Inject into my veins, transcend past heaven
Oh, the philosopher's stoned
Yeah, the philosopher's stoned
Oh, the philosopher's stoned
Yeah, the philosopher's stoned
Oh, the philosopher's stoned
Yeah, the philosopher's stoned
Oh, the philosopher's stoned
Yeah, the philosopher's stone cold

Lead into gold
Lead into gold
Lead into gold
Lead into gold
To seek the touch
To rise to wealth
The golden idol
The tolling bell
Touch the statue
And dawn your crown
Take to the throne
Your gilded hell
Lead into gold
Lead into gold
Lead into gold
Lead into gold
King Midas
King Midas
Lord's hall is full
Of petrified souls
Their shining luster
Their master's woe
At the hall's head
In a weeping pose
King Midas sits
New idol of gold
Flesh into gold
Flesh into gold
Flesh into gold
Flesh into gold
King Midas

Albuquerque Alchemy

Mobile lab take a drag from my pipe
Smoking rocks from my goodie bag
Red and blue right behind blinding lights
Chasing me in the dead of night
Partner in the back wake up boy
We got fuzz and they're on our ass
With a motion gets and throws a potion
I hear the explosion
It's my kind of commotion
It's Albuquerque alchemy
Rocks all around
Rocks and red dust
Rock's on the radio
Rocks in my lungs
Rocks all around
Rocks and red dust
Rock's on the radio
Rocks in my lungs
Mobile lab take a drag from my pipe
Smoking rocks from my goodie bag
Red and blue right behind blinding lights
Chasing me in the dead of night
Partner in the back wake up boy
We got fuzz and they're on our ass
With a motion gets and throws a potion
I hear the explosion
It's my kind of commotion
It's Albuquerque alchemy

Mr Miracle Man
04:16
|
|||
|
They say he wasn't conceived of seed of man
That he was born in filth in Bethlehem
They say he walks with head high through the land
Preforming miracles with wave of his hand
He came to me within my time of need
I was alone, in want of talk and drink
Thus he drew water, presented it to me
I took a taste and met brandy relief
Mr. miracle man
Mr. miracle man
Mr. miracle man
Mr. miracle man
He led a party of men where he would go
Seeking joy, bringing spirits to the low
Asking nothing but companionship to know
And for more men if they so wish to follow
One day a disciple, drunken and in love
Took to a woman, overtaken by his lust
The miracle man with his powers from above
Took hold the man and turned to wine his blood
Mr. miracle man
Mr. miracle man
Mr. miracle man
Mr. miracle man
Mr. miracle man
Mr. miracle man
Mr. miracle man
Mr. miracle man

Le Sorcier
02:59
|
|||
|
Leaving my laboratory home
Going to make things right
Stalking through these aging walls
Clenching my father's knife
At first sight of you I enter a rage
My hatred takes your life
Just past thirty-two your blood spilling out
No longer head of your line
Alchemy's
My Sorcery
You all will pay
By the hand of Le Sorcier
A boy went missing, they blamed my father
Your ancestor took his life
When they found him they knew they did wrong
I saw it in their eyes
When I found out I spoke my hate loud
And cursed him for all time
A potion slung at the murderer
Broke upon him and he died
Alchemy's
My Sorcery
You all will pay
By the hand of Le Sorcier
The elixir of eternal life
Caries my vengeance on
Centuries pass with your ancient dead
And my revenge isn't done
Now I come upon you walking the woods
Under false cover of sun
I force onto you a colorless liquid
And you cough up to me your blood
Alchemy's
My Sorcery
You all will pay
By the hand of Le Sorcier

From The Dungeon
04:55
|
|||
|
Screams in the depths
No one is around to hear
Lonely and forgotten
A prisoner of time's past
Solitude eternal
Deep in crumbling chateau
Calls for mercy unanswered
Punishment ever prolonged
Sealed away
Never to fade
Imprisoned for eternal life
All die away
Through passing days
And curing death was his crime
Cries from the dungeon the alchemist binded in chains
Imprisoned in darkness condemned for his blasphemous ways
Forever he starves forgotten in his never grave
Losing the hope that he'll ever see light of day
His blessing a curse
The Christians proclaimed
Abomination on earth
For his affront he pays
Sealed away
Never to fade
Imprisoned for eternal life
All die away
Through passing days
And curing death was his crime
Cries from the dungeon the alchemist binded in chains
Imprisoned in darkness condemned for his blasphemous ways
Forever he starves forgotten in his never grave
Losing the hope that he'll ever see light of day

Black Magic Disease
05:29
|
|||
|
Wizard contemplating over his long life
Wondering what to do at the coming of his plight
He comes to the decision to cower from gods light
Be achieving eternal life through unholy rites
Alchemy as his tool
To bend fate to his whim
Death kept at bay
Eternity in his hands
And the years go by
And knowledge he gains
And all die around him
And he hides away
Centuries turn into aeons
Civilizations rise and fall away
Into infinity alone
Now facing a dying world alone
The earth dies in the supernova
In blackness he resides still alive
Choking and freezing in the dark
The inevitable heat death encroaching
Burning in the ambient blaze
Still in complete darkness
Tens of thousands of years of suffering
Or is it millions, is there time at all
No, he only suffers on

Ruin Dweller
07:09
|
|||
|
I climbed upon these old stones
I looked into the nothingness
I took the leap
I felt the fall
I left myself with broken bones
Two thousand years that seem to crawl
Too much suffering for me to hold
An aching pain
A calloused soul
Another failed attempt to end it all
In this time where death may die
I mourn him here
Ruined remnants of the life
I once held dear
In this time where death may die
I mourn him here
Ruined remnants of the life
I once held dear
Heaven knows it takes time to heal
Well I've got more than I could ever want
I wish I could just fade away
But I will never succumb oh no
This hidden fortress
These aging castle walls
I dwell in ruins
My father's crumbling halls
I live for nothing
Wish I didn't at all
This is my hell
Kept away from death's call
In this time where death may die
I mourn him here
Ruined remnants of the life
I once held dear
In this time where death may die
I mourn him here
Ruined remnants of the life
I once held dear
Death may die so why can't I
Death may die so why can't I
Death may die so why can't I
I know I know, I took his life

Solve et Coagula
03:26
|

Fire!
Fire!
I dissolve and solidify
Destroy to recreate
Disassemble to assemble something pure
Our rubric solve et coagula
Kill to be born again
Cycled a thousand times
Fire, planetary alchemy
Fire, the time is here now
Fire, four corners to rise
Fire rise!
Fire, there's always loss within
Fire, the cleansing it's time
Fire, shooting arrows to the sky
Fire
I construct a new institution
Not out of bricks, iron, cement, concrete or steel
Our rubric solve et coagula
Distill to purify
We've done it a thousand times
Fire, planetary alchemy
Fire, the time is here now
Fire, four corners to rise
Fire rise!
Fire, there's always loss within
Fire, the cleansing it's time
Fire, shooting arrows to the sky
Fire
Burn
Bleed all the lives of life ascend to the sky
Burn
All the martyrs
Burn
Bleed all the lives of life ascend to the sky
Fire, planetary alchemy
Fire, the time is here now
Fire, four corners to rise
Fire rise!
Fire, there's always loss within
Fire, the cleansing it's time
Fire, shooting arrows to the sky
Fire

Laruam Mobile, Alabama
One man, many projects. Interested in making stoner, black, death, and doom metal. Some other things too maybe.
Laruam recommends:
Where the Shadows Adorn
by Mother of Graves
A great album. The music style is similar to the kind of melodic death doom that Katatonia and Paradise Lost were doing in their early years. Their EP In Somber Dreams is really good too.

I imagine this being found as a dusty, black labeled test pressing, smelling of bongwater and dried blood... They warp a Neil Young song brilliantly (I think he would approve). And I could see “Children Of The Sun” on the back end of Volume 4.

Thick, fuzzy, distorted slabs of garagey, doomy, 70s-drenched weirdness. Love it!!!
