Avantasia - Devil In The Belfry lyrics

rate me

I dropped off in the shadows

the lead of tragedy

I open my eyes - blind by the spotlight

And what do I see?

Pushed by ambition

you've been granted admission

to the hall of acclaim

She denied you affection

Now listen the whole world

is screaming your name

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 - the devil in the belfry

I'll be glorified - forevermore

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?

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

Riding high

The devil on the crest

For all the world to see - forevermore

I am I - the devil in the belfry

I'll be glorified - forevermore

Into the opera like moths to a 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 - the devil in the belfry

I'll be glorified - forevermore
