The Scarecrow (feat. Jorn Lande & Michael Kiske)

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

Demon, I've got to contain

When I'm walkin' through the fen

Down and 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

Whoa

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

All right

When the lamb's been torn to pieces

I'll be crashing from the sky

Fallen to care for the prey

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

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 comin' my way

Oh, yeah

He's got treasure in his eyes that he's gonna turn to clay

I'm a stranger

I'm a changer and I'm danger

Maybe

Fallen angel waitin' for the prey

The devil has come to take a maim away

Penetration of a 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

Oh, you burn your feet on unholy ground

You roam the barren, wicked plains abound

In evil eyes, evil speak

Abound in all you evil freaks

When you say it's all divine and meant to be, yeah

Whoa, oh

What about your flesh and blood

And defiers like me? Oh

Their evil eyes are lookin' 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

She'll be better off to cry, contrite tears

One day she'll wonder why

She had to 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) Flight of the crow

(Time will come) Cross the line

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

(Rise to fame) To take your soul away

It's a flight to hell (Time has come)

All right

I'm a stranger

I'm a changer and I'm danger

Fallen angel

Waitin' for the prey
