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...
