Lyrics
When was it you turned away? Shut yourself in tower high Up above the troubled fray Let our turmoil pass you by Corrupted by indifference Complacent behind tower walls Avoiding this experience As our world begins to fall Impassive Uncaring guardian Reclusive So blind Where is the Magus Where the charm Where the power to hold back harm Where is the Magus What incantation Can save us from annihilation Once the beacon in the night You stopped our fall from grace Your words carried with great might Yet now you hide your face Impassive Uncaring guardian Reclusive So blind Where is the Magus Where the charm Where the power to hold back harm Where is the Magus What incantation Can save us from annihilation No power, no shield, No refuge from hell No wand, no weapon, No breaking the spell
