[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

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

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

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:]
Into the opera like moths to the flame
Spellbind their senses to follow the hero

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

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
