(Dickinson/Roy Z)



I am the teacher, come to reach ya

Take the old words back to you

You were lost, but I found you

And it's your choice what to do

I've learned a few things as I've traveled through the years



Through the door of evermore...



I came through fire, came through water

Through the oily serpent's kiss

Climbed the mountain, chased the dragon

Thrown myself in the abyss

Do I make myself a million trillion now?



'Cause I've been around you

And I'm glad I found you...



I am the living flame, and I teach the holy games

Teach the secret of the dance

Throw the future in the ruins

Kick the sand and save the space

I'll put Jesus in his place

Shame on our priest, it's all the same

The Magician is my name



(woah-oh-oh, oh-oh)

The Magician is my name

(woah-oh-oh, oh-oh)

The Magician is my name

(woah-oh-oh, oh-oh)

The Magician is my name

(oh-oh)

And magic is my game



Now I know you, and you know me

We have secrets we can share

We can build a new tomorrow

From the trash of yesterday



It won't be the last time

And I'm glad I found you...



I am the living flame, and I teach the holy games

Teach the secret of the dance

Throw the future in the ruins

Kick the sand and save the space

I'll put Jesus in his place

Shame on our priest, it's all the same

The Magician is my name



(woah-oh-oh, oh-oh)

The Magician is my name

(woah-oh-oh, oh-oh)

The Magician is my name

(woah-oh-oh, oh-oh)

The Magician is my name

(woah-oh-oh, oh-oh)

The Magician is my name
