That those who walk before me fear For they are there and I am here Behind the shadows held in fright They tried to hide inside the light Accepting lines for truth and fact It still there's something quite exact
An inborn question left unasked Afraid to see the face unmasked And yet within it burns, it gnaws Still stuck inside those hollow jaws A victim of a life that keeps
It never gives
And never sleeps And never sleeps And never sleeps
Centuries ago I was a young magician Working for a king Using all the powers of my magic I controlled most anything I could make the mountains walk Now and then the trees would talk But now I'm trapped inside of a tree
I don't know what it was but something happened And I turned the queen to stone I told my friend the jester He just turned his heels And left me all alone
Then my thoughts began to change My spells began to rearrange And now I'm trapped inside of a tree
What happens now I'm asking you What is the meaning of a joke It seems there's nothing I can do Emprisoned in the briary hole
Mmm...
Someday I'll break this curse And that's the day That Merlin will return
There'll be no place to hide My vengeance reach you and you'll burn Now my mind begins to flash And I can feel my senses clash
