[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
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]
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:]
Into the opera like moths to the flame
Spellbind their senses to follow the hero
[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

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
