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:]
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
[Scarecrow:]
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
[Mephistopheles:]
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:]
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
[Mephistopheles:]
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 - the devil in the belfry
I'll be glorified forevermore
