See the man in the bookshop See his withered hand He walks very slowly never stands in crowds Children stand and wonder as he turns and walks away Closely guards the secret Of the beauty in his eyes
He's the man with the Midas touch He'll make you burn with just one look He's the man with the Midas touch He's got the beauty in his eyes
He looks so innocent As he shuffles down the street But he is the holy sentinel That guards the gates of Hades To stop the Lord Of Darkness Coming straight from hell The bringer of disaster The one who tolls the bell
He's the man with the Midas touch He'll make you burn with just one look He's the man with the Midas touch He's got the beauty in his eyes
Until the final conflict He has to walk the earth To do his master's bidding And stop the evil force He waits for Armageddon The Nazarene will come Rising from the ashes Of the fallen world
He's the man with the Midas touch He'll make you burn with just one look He's the man with the Midas touch He's got the beauty in his eyes
