Devil In The Belfry lyrics

[Scarecrow (Tobias Sammet):]

I dropped off in the shadows

The lead of a tragedy

I open my eyes - blind by the spotlight

And what do I see?

[Mephistopheles (Jorn Lande):]

Pushed by ambition,

Been granted admission

To the hall of acclaim,

She denied your affection,

Now listen, the whole world is screaming your name

[Scarecrow (Tobias Sammet):]

I will forget her but I won't forgive

The curtain has fallen, behold the messiah

[Chorus:]

Riding high,

The devil on the crest for all the world to see forevermore

I am I -

Devil in the belfry, I'll be glorified forevermore

[Mephistopheles (Jorn Lande):]

Is it a sin to learn to be able to live without love?

And is it a sin to put love under will and control from above?

[Scarecrow (Tobias Sammet):]

Devil in my fingers, pleasure at my feet

Mind out of sight

The shadow I'll cast shall darken her world

And ghost her at night

With each song you'll die a little for me

It won't leave a scar, 'cause I've drawn the curtain

[Chorus 2x]

[Mephistopheles (Jorn Lande):]

Into the opera like moths to the flame

Spellbind their senses to follow the hero

[Chorus 2x]
