The Scarecrow

Lyrics

[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 [Chorus] Rise to fame Time will come Make your claim Time has come For the crow to fly away Whoa! [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 [Chorus] Rise to fame Time will come Make your claim Time has come For the crow to fly away [Instrumental break 3:53 - 7:32] [Tobias Sammet:] 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:] Hmm-oh, 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, you evil freaks When you say it's all divine And meant to be, yeah, whoa 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, oh dear 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 - The flight of the crow Time will come - Cross the line Make your claim - Your time has come Time has come - For the crow to fly away Rise to fame - It's a flight to hell, can you hear the bell Time will come - The devil has come Make your claim - to take your soul away Time has come - It's a flight to hell Alright I'm a stranger I'm a changer And I'm danger Fallen angel Waiting for the prey, ahh
