Time stands still
The wizard’s will
Is written in the stars
Setting sun
His will be done
Have you traveled far
Wishing well
The gates of hell
Path to your final day
Before you leave
Have these wishes three
Let conscience light the way
And when the final curtain’s coming down
Will you swim or will you sink and drown
Will the feather weighed against your heart
Or will you need the flight of the dragon
The cavern hides
In the mountain’s lies
Is the wisdom that you seek
The wizard takes your power
By the ticking hours
Your magic sword is weak
A misty haze
Of his wicked gaze
He takes you by surprise
Can’t see at all
Still the dragon calls
So use your inner eye
And when the final curtain’s coming down
Will you swim or will you sink and drown
Will the feather weighed against your heart
Or will you need the flight of the dragon
You might be blind
But you will find
The dragon still can see
Use his sight
He takes flight
Says tonight you fly with me
On the wizard’s tower
At the witching hour
The battle cry will sound
The flames fly higher
Wizards funeral pyre
The dragon brings him down
And when the final curtain’s coming down
Will you swim or will you sink and drown
Will the feather weighed against your heart
Or will you need the flight of the dragon
