The Wizard's Apprentice

歌詞

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 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 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 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 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 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 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! 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
