The wizard that is life and its cruel blows
\nTakes the dreams we have been sold
\nSmashes them before our very eyes
\nAnd our hearts that once were gold
\nFull of hopes and dreams for times to come
\nThat were yours and were mine…
\nBefore our eyes, Alchemy in reverse
\ngold is turned: into urine…<\/p>\n
