The Wizard's Apprentice Lyrics - Crystal Eyes

Music: Mikael Dahl - Lyrics: Andreas Gtesson 

The look of disbelief is still in your face 

as I watch how your eyes begin to race 

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 

Pre Chorus 

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 

Chorus 

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 

Solo Dahl 

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 

Pre Chorus 

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 

Chorus 

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 

Solo Both 

Bridge 

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! 

Solo Nyberg, Dahl 

Chorus 

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
