The Scarecrow
[Scarecrow (Tobias Sammet):]I'm just a loser in the game of loveI'm just a stray boy in the shadeAnd how I wish to know what love is likeTo find someone to contemplate
There's a voice and a million answersTo the questions I don't askA demon — I've got to containWhen I'm walking through the fenGetting deep into the blackWhispers I can't restrain
Don't give in
[Chorus:]Rise to fame - time will comeMake your claim - time has comeFor the crow who fly away
[Mephistopheles (Jorn Lande):]So you're an angel meant to walk down hereAnd you believe it's all divineAnd you don't play by all those temporal rulesYou watch the world begin to die
Alright - when the lamb's been torn to piecesI've been crashing from the skyFallen to care for the prey,they put a spoke right in your wheelI'm the one to dare the weak,to push you all over the painYou give in - oh
[Chorus]
[Solo: Sascha Paeth]
[Scarecrow (Tobias Sammet):]I close my eyes and I see what's coming my wayHe's got treasure in his eyes that he's gonna turn to clay
[Mephistopheles (Jorn Lande):]Hm, I'm a stranger,I'm a changerAnd I'm danger...Maybe
[Scarecrow (Tobias Sammet):]Fallen angel - waiting for the preyThe devil has come to take a maimed awayPenetration of the twisted mindThe evil is out for the weak and blind
I can feel it in your voiceEver so sweet, noDo I really have a choice? No, no, no!
[Mephistopheles (Jorn Lande):]Oh, you burn your feet on unholy groundYou roam the barren wicked plains aboundIn evil eyes and evil speakAbound in all you evil freaks
When you say it's all divine and meant to beWhat about your flesh and blood and defiers like me?
Their evil eyes are looking down on youAnd those who don't are losing sight of youFace the rage to chase awayThe specter of disgrace and shame
Withered roses dying on the ledgeA withered dreamer standing on the edgeYou dream of love - wake up to painYou're better off to join in my game
She'll be better off to cry contrite tearsOne day she'll wonder why she had to let you disappearOh dear
[Both]Rise to fame - your time has comeTime will come to take the sunMake your claim - you're drawn to the soundTime has come - you're leaving ground
Rise to fame - the flight of the crowTime will come - cross the lineYour time has come - for the crow to fly away
[Mephistopheles]It's a flight to hellCan you hear the bell?The devil has comeTo take your soul awayIt's a flight to hellalright
I'm a strangerI'm a changerAnd I'm dangerFallen angelWaiting for the prey
