The Devil and the Savant

When you cross the edge inside

Reach out for the stranger

As you sign the deal tonight

Icarus's your only guide

See the haggard child of sun

To the tempting fires you run

Pass the gate and realize

Casting evil eyes

Down at your dark lab

You threw some tarot cards

Reading the fiery truth

Alchemist you were right

The vision's alive

The devil and the savant

Gaze away

Far away

Alchemist you're free

Inside of your prison

The devil and the savant

Take a light,

Getting sight of a revelation forced:

The chemical wedding day...

He appears at your desire

Does your bidding - always

Lights the candle in the dark

See the blood - oh - of us all

Think you force him to expose

All above and all below

You're never able to unveil

What you had to feel...

Taming your seraph but who is in control

You or the demon called curiosity, Mephistopheles...
