The Devil and the Savant

When you cross the edge inside
 reach out for the stranger
 As you sign the deal tonight
 Icarus's your only guide
 See the haggard child of sun
 To the tempting fires you run
 Pass the gate and realize
 Casting evil eyes
 Down at your dark lab
 you threw some tarot cards
 Reading the fiery truth
 alchemist you were right
 the vision's alive
 The devil and the savant
 Gaze away
 Far away
 Alchemist you're free
 inside of your prison
 The devil and the savant
 Take a light,
 Getting sight of a revelation forced:
 the chemical wedding day...
 He appears at your desire
 Does your bidding - always
 Lights the candle in the dark
 See the blood - oh - of us all
 Think you force him to expose
 All above and all below
 You're never able to unveil
 what you had to feel...
 Taming your seraph but who is in control
 You or the demon called curiosity, Mephistopheles...
