Avantasia Devil In the Belfry song lyrics

I dropped off in the shadows

the lead of a 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 your 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 — 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 the scar, 'cause I've drown the curtain

Into the opera like moths to the flame

Spellbind their senses to follow the hero
