you dream of magic and the spirits of the night
a glimpse behind the veil will surely end your life
a chance encounter with the terrible old man
forbidden codex and a dagger in your hand

you're playing with fire
your fingers are burned
you're playing with fire
your fingers are burned

seduced by dreams of power, spells hold you in thrall
you fool! no man controls the entities you call
you drew the circle, spoke the names and cast the hex
your wards are broken, now feel hands upon your neck

you sold your soul
you're out of control
you sold your soul
you're out of control

the candle flames die out, you feel a winter's chill
a presence stands before you tearing down your will
eyes of fire look deep into your soul
terror takes you as the madness takes control

lost behind the gulfs of space and time
the fathomless abyss
oceans of fire and skies of ice
you know you asked for this!

you dream of magic and the spirits of the night
a glimpse behind the veil will surely end your life
playing with fire
playing with fire
playing with fire
playing with fire
