Alchemist - Road to Ubar

From the 1996 album 'Spiritech' here is Canberra band Alchemist's first video clip.

Ripped from my coveted 12-year old video tape.

The commands of an ancient sultan
Whispers through the sandstorm winds of time
Calling across the centuries
A lost ghost city of the mind
Far beyond the valley of the kings
Lies buried deep within the sand
A city of decadence and lust and greed
That's why the gods condemned this land
The gods condemned this land

Furthest reaches recorded time
Lay Ubar, city of lust and greed
Reading the chiselled inscriptions
A funerary temple
Osrisis, tribute to the gods
The sultan of Oltman

Denied the presence of this land
Decipher the heiroglyphics
City overcome with lust
Ancient brothel returns to dust
Angered by the plague of sin
Let the holocaust begin

Furthest reaches recorded time
Lay Ubar, city of lust and greed
Reading the chiselled inscriptions
A funerary temple
This was the city of Ubar
Watch our modern life return to ancient ways

Was the city of Ubar
Watch our moden life return to ancient ways

We're on the road to Ubar (x4)

Sad, that Spiritech is unavailable. Want to buy this record.

They were in Poland and played great show.

All I can suggest is try eBay. Spiritech is my fave album and well worth getting hold of.

14 years ago on MTV you can find Alchemist. Now you can find only Justin Bieber. This is so sad T.T

Because people are stupid. That's why incredible bands such as The Chasm and Mystifier don't get the recognition they deserve. Too many people can't be bothered digging deep enough to find the good shit.

saw this on channel v the other night :x

[krong666]

Because people are ignorant and naive.

They only acknowledge bullshit sponsored by major corporations.

WTF WHY JUST 3447 VIEWS !!!
