[Tobias Sammet:]
I'm just a loser in the game of love.
I'm just a stray boy in the shade.
And how I wish to know what love is like,
to find someone to contemplate.

There's a voice and a million answers
to the questions I don't ask.
A demon, I've got to contain.
When I'm walking through the fen
getting deep into the black,
whispers I can't restrain.

Don't give in.

Rise to fame.
Time will come.
Make your claim.
Time has come
for the crow to fly away.

[Jørn Lande:]
So you're an angel meant to walk down here
and you believe it's all divine.
And you don't play by all those temporal rules.
You watch the world begin to die.

Alright... when the lamb's been torn to pieces,
I've been crashing from the sky,
fallen to care for the pray.
They put a spoke right in your wheel.
I'm the one to dare the weak
to push you all over the pain.
You give in... oh!

[Tobias Sammet:]
Rise to fame.
Time will come.
Make your claim.
Time has come
for the crow to fly away.

I close my eyes and I see what's coming my way.
Oh, yeah!
He's got treasure in his eyes that he's gonna turn to clay.

[Jørn Lande:]
Hm, I'm a stranger, I'm a changer and I'm danger...
Maybe...

[Tobias Sammet:]
Fallen angel, waiting for the prey.
The devil has come to take a maimed away.
Penetration of the twisted mind.
The evil is out for the weak and blind.

I can feel it in your voice,
ever so sweet... no!
Do I really have a choice?
No, no, no!

[Jørn Lande:]
Oh, you burn your feet on unholy ground.
You roam the barren wicked plains abound.
In evil eyes and evil speak,
abound in all your evil freaks.

When you say it's all divine and meant to be.
What about your flesh and blood and defiers like me?

Their evil eyes are looking down on you
and those who don't are losing sight of you.
Face the rage to chase away
the specter of disgrace and shame.

Withered roses dying on the ledge,
a withered dreamer standing on the edge.
You dream of love, wake up to pain.
You're better off to join in my game.

Then she'll better off to cry contrite tears.
One day she'll wonder why she let you disappear.

Rise to fame.
Your time has come.
Time will come
to take the sun.
Make your claim.
You're drawn to the sound.
Time has come.
You're leaving ground.

Rise to fame.
Flight of the crow
Time will come.
Cross the line.
Time has come.
Your time has come.
Time has come.
For the crow to fly away.

Rise to fame.
It's a flight to hell.
Time will come.
Can you hear the bell.
The devil has come
to take your soul away.
A flight to hell.
Time has come.
Alright.

I'm a stranger.
I'm a changer.
And I'm danger.
Fallen angel
waiting for the prey.
