[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?
[jorn lande:]
pushed by ambition, you've been granted admission
to the hall of acclaim,
she denied your affection,
now listen the whole world is screaming your name
[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
[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?
[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 the scar, 'cause i've drown the curtain
[chorus x2]
[jorn lande:]
into the opera like moths to the flame
spellbind their senses to follow the hero
[chorus x2]
