Scarecrow (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?
Mephistopheles (Jorn Lande):
Pushed by ambition,
Been granted admission
To the hall of acclaim,
She denied your affection,
Now listen, the whole world is screaming your name
Scarecrow (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
Mephistopheles (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?
Scarecrow (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 a scar, 'cause I've drawn the curtain
Mephistopheles (Jorn Lande):
Into the opera like moths to the flame
Spellbind their senses to follow the hero
