Crystal Eyes - The Wizard's Apprentice lyrics

Music: Mikael Dahl - Lyrics: Andreas Götesson

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 Chorus

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

Chorus

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 Chorus

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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

Just a common man
