Devil in the Belfry 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 you 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 - the 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 a scar
Cause I've drawn the curtain

Riding high
The devil on the crest
For all the world to see forevermore
I am I - the devil in the belfry
I'll be glorified forevermore

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

Riding high
The devil on the crest
For all the world to see forevermore
I am I - the devil in the belfry
I'll be glorified forevermore
