The Scarecrow

[Tobias Sammet:] 

I'm just a loser in the game of love 

I'm just a stray boy in the shade 

And how I wish to know what love is like 

To find someone to contemplate 



There's a voice and a million answers 

To the questions I don't ask 

A demon — I've got to contain 

When I'm walking through the fen 

Gettinh deep into the black 

There are whispers I can't restrain 



Don't give in 



[Chorus:] 

Rise to fame — time will come 

Make your claim — time has come 

For the crow who fly away 



[Jorn Lande:] 

So you're an angel meant to walk down here 

And you believe it's all divine 

And you don't play by all those temporal rules 

You watch the world begin to die 



Alright — when the lamb's been torn to pieces, 

I've been crashing from the sky 

The Fallen to care for the pray, they put a spoke right in your wheel 

I'm the one to dare the weak, to push you all over the pain 

You give in — oh 



[Chorus] 



[Tobias Sammet:] 

I close my eyes and I see what's coming my way 

He's got treasure in his eyes that he's gonna turn to clay 



[Jorn Lande:] 

Hm, I'm a stranger, I'm a changer and I'm danger... 

Maybe 



[Tobias Sammet:] 

Fallen Angel - waiting for the prey 

The devil has come to take a maimed away 

Penetration of the twisted mind 

The evil is out for the weak and blind 



I can feel it in your voice 

Ever so sweet, no 

Do I really have a choice? No, no, no! 



[Jorn Lande:] 

You burn your feet on unholy ground 

You hold the barren wicked plains abound 

In evil eyes and evil speak 

About it all your evil freaks 



When you say it's all divine 

And meant to be 

What about your flesh and blood and defiers like me? 



Their evil eyes are looking down on you 

And those who don't are loosing sight of you 

Face the rage to chase away 

The specter of disgrace and shame 



Withered roses dying on the ledge 

A withered dreamer standing on the edge 

You dream of love but you wake up to pain 

You're better off to join in my game 



Then she'll better off to cry contrite tears 

One day she'll wonder why she had let you disappear, oh, dear 



Rise to fame — your time has come 

Time will come to take the sun 

Make your claim - you're drawn to the sound 

Time has come — you're leaving ground 



Rise to fame - the flight of the crow 

Time will come - cross the line 

Time has come 

Time has come - for the crow to fly away 

Rise to fame - it's a flight to hell 

Time has come — can you hear the bell? 

Devil has come to take your soul away 

A flight to hell - alright 



I'm a stranger 

I'm a changer 

And I'm danger 

Fallen angel 

Waiting for the prey
