Devil In The Belfry

[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]
