In the magic garden
|
Some were singing
|
Some were dancing
|
While the midnight moon
|
Shone brightly overhead
|
|
The stars so gaily glistened
|
And the sphinx in silence listened to
|
The magician tell of
|
Lives that he had led
|
|
Let the bells of freedom ring
|
Songs of love to Friday's king
|
|
Let's all go to
|
The magician's birthday
|
It's in a forest
|
But not so far away
|
Much to do
|
And so much to say
|
While we listened to
|
The orchid orchestra play
|
|
Happy Birthay to you ...
|
Happy Birthday to magician
|
Happy Birthday to you ...
|
|
Then at the dead of midnight
|
As we watched the dancing firelight
|
The air grew cold
|
And seemed to dull the flame
|
The fire died
|
The music faded
|
Filled with fear of death we waited
|
For now we knew
|
Some evil was to blame
|
|
I challenge you
|
I challenge you all
|
For all you own
|
And all you know
|
And by all the powers of darkness
|
I will steal what is mine
|
|
Surrender now or face my spite
|
I grant you it may be Friday night
|
But did you know this day
|
Also numbers thirteen
|
|
First I'll give you fire
|
I turn your fire into a sleepy stream
|
Yes, now I give you nightmares
|
From your horror I'll create a dream
|
|
You cannot fight me
|
For I have the sword of hate
|
But one thing you can't see
|
My answer is simply
|
An impenetrable fortress
|
Of love ... love ... love ...
|
|
The fear went as quickly as it came
|
The air was clear
|
The fire burned again
|
The flames leapt
|
The organ played
|
The swans sang
|
To greet the day
|
And then we knew that
|
Love will find love will find love ..
|
