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 your 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, 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 the scar, 'cause I've drown the curtain 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 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, 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
