Stranger than the comet, as it streaks across the sky Stranger than the truth, and no bed for my own eyes I have dealt in mysteries and trickery of life to entertain Looked into the abyss and called it by its name I have plundered time itself and the world inside it And the mysteries they and I have divided A plague of wonders on your knees beside me Know the secrets you shall not erode us My dreams of empire, but my frozen dreams will come to pass Known me for ages, I am Dr. D, and this is my house I am the master of the tides, I shape the middle in my sight I grant the music of the spheres across the years Know this, I will return to this land Rebuilt where the ruins did stand Chained up, the demons set free Stranger than me Dive around the aimless and the feckless and the lame Hear the masters summon up the spirits by their names I curse you Edward Kelley, your betrayal for eternity is damned Though you speak with demons, you cannot command Even as I looked into the glass, there I was blinded, burning By the boiling shard, my house now burst inside it You have taken up my wife and lain beside her Now the flame breathes on my house, the timber's burning My dreams of empire, but my frozen queen will come to pass Known me for ages, I am Dr. D, and this was my house I was the keeper of the books, I had the knowledge of the scrolls But now through ignorance and fear, I cast a shadow through the years Know this, I will return to this land Rebuilt where the ruins did stand Chained up, the demons set free Stranger than me Chained up, the demons set free Stranger than me Know this, I will return to this land Rebuilt where the ruins did stand Chained up, the demons set free Stranger than me Know this, I will return to this land Rebuilt where the ruins did stand Restored the knowledge, memory Stranger than me
