[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]
