Crystal Eyes - The Wizard's Apprentice lyrics

[Music: Mikael Dahl - Lyrics: Andreas Gotesson] 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 d**h, 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
