The look of disbelief is still in your face as I watch how your eyes begin to glaze Your broken body lies in a growing pool of blood... I have betrayed you, you sorry old fool
But to have your Art makes it worth this crime, and your former knowledge will soon be mine In my hands I now hold your Grand Grimoire, the source of your once great might and arcane lore
[Pre Припев] How many times have I not cursed these pages? It feels like I've been reading for ages But I can not give up, I have to be patient 'cause your book contains the Art of the Ancient
[Припев] Soon your magic will lie in my hands Every spell, powerful and grand, of the greatest Art are going to be known to me And then, my friend, I will no longer be... the wizard's apprentice
[Solo Dahl]
I have found the key. How could I be so blind? With the right phrase and the right state of mind the power explodes in me, burning deep inside The Art engulfs me in a roaring magic tide
[Pre Припев] For how many years have I not yearned and craved for this? It feels like I have reached eternal bliss And it does not matter much that my soul is stained by your death, compared to what I have gained
[Припев] Now your magic lies in my hands Every spell, powerful and grand, of the greatest Art are now finally known to me And no more, my friend, will I ever be... the wizard's apprentice
[Solo Both]
[Bridge] I am divine, pure energy The Ancient's power flows in me But it's to much for my mind to sustain With a sudden burst of pain all magic's scorched from my brain, and I realise that all have been in vain My Art is forever gone!
Solo Nyberg, Dahl
[Припев] So now my magic's no more My Art is gone, my precious lore has forever been burned away from my very core And now I am neither the Master Mage nor the wizard's apprentice
