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
