|
The look of disbelief is still in your face
|
as I watch how your eyes begin to glaze
|
Your broken body lies in a growing pool
|
of blood... I have betrayed you, you sorry old fool
|
|
But to have your Art makes it worth this crime,
|
and your former knowledge will soon be mine
|
In my hands I now hold your Grand Grimoire,
|
the source of your once great might and arcane lore
|
|
[Pre Chorus]
|
How many times have I not cursed these pages?
|
It feels like I've been reading for ages
|
But I can not give up, I have to be patient
|
'cause your book contains the Art of the Ancient
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Soon your magic will lie in my hands
|
Every spell, powerful and grand,
|
of the greatest Art are going to be known to me
|
And then, my friend, I will no longer be...
|
the wizard's apprentice
|
|
[Solo Dahl]
|
|
I have found the key. How could I be so blind?
|
With the right phrase and the right state of mind
|
the power explodes in me, burning deep inside
|
The Art engulfs me in a roaring magic tide
|
|
[Pre Chorus]
|
For how many years have I not yearned and craved for this?
|
It feels like I have reached eternal bliss
|
And it does not matter much that my soul is stained
|
by your death, compared to what I have gained
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Now your magic lies in my hands
|
Every spell, powerful and grand,
|
of the greatest Art are now finally known to me
|
And no more, my friend, will I ever be...
|
the wizard's apprentice
|
|
[Solo Both]
|
|
[Bridge]
|
I am divine, pure energy
|
The Ancient's power flows in me
|
But it's to much for my mind to sustain
|
With a sudden burst of pain
|
all magic's scorched from my brain,
|
and I realise that all have been in vain
|
My Art is forever gone!
|
|
Solo Nyberg, Dahl
|
|
[Chorus]
|
So now my magic's no more
|
My Art is gone, my precious lore
|
has forever been burned away from my very core
|
And now I am neither the Master Mage nor
|
the wizard's apprentice
|
|
Just a common man
|
