Bruce Dickinson
"The Magician"
(B. Dickinson/ Roy Z)
I am the teacher, come to reach you
Take the old words back to you
You were lost but I found you
and it's your choice what to do
I've learned a few things as I've travelled through the years
Through the door of evermore
I came through fire, came through water
Through the oily serpents kiss
Climbed a mountain, chased the dragon
threw myself in the abyss
Do I make myself familiar to you now?
Cause I've been around you and I'm glad I've found you
CHORUS:
I am the living flame and I teach the holy games
Teach the secret of the dance through the future in the ruins
Kicked the sand in Satan's face, I'll put Jesus in his place
Shaman and priest it's all the same, the magician is my name
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, the magician is my name (x2)
Oh, and magic is my game
SOLO
Now I know you and you know me
We have secrets we can share
We can build a new tomorrow
from the trash of yesterday
It won't be the last time and I'm glad I found you
