Devil In The Belfry Lyrics

Avantasia Devil In The Belfry

vocals by Tobias Sammet and Jorn Lande

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?

Jorn Lande:
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

Tobias Sammet:
I will forget her but I won't forgive
the curtain has fallen, behold the messiah

Chorus:
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

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?

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 the scar, 'cause I've drown the curtain

Chorus x2

Jorn Lande:
Into the opera like moths to the flame
Spellbind their senses to follow the hero

Chorus x2
