What d'you think I am
Do you think I'm dreaming
Don't you know I know
What it is you're scheming
Who d'you think gave you to right
Hidden by the dead of night
To take the world and turn it upside down
When it should be round
Seems I made it just in time
To use my reason and my rhyme
To save us from the evils of your mind
I will cast the spell
Be sure I'll cast it well
I will light a fire
Kindled with desire
I will you with fear
So you know I'm here
And I won't be treated like a fool
S'no good your pretending
There'll be no happy ending
I'm alive and darkness is my tool
(guitar and piano solos - slow in Cm)
But when the night is over
And day time steals your cover
The goodness of the morning sun
Will warm away what you have done
And leave you cold
(piano solo - new key = Dm)
I have no need for moonlight
You're wrong to trust in sunlight
For I ehist not just in storms
But in life are so many forms
To leave you cold
(piano and organ turn-around- fast, in G)
I will leave you now
But you won't defeat me
You had best beware
When you come to meet me
Love and truth will follow me
An army of reality
Brought from every corner of the world
You will never break the spell
I'll summon all the fires of hell
And this is my advice for what it's worth
