The Wizard

[00:12.64] In the forest where the roads don't go
[00:16.33] Lived a weary wizard all alone
[00:18.91] Mixing potions and his tonics too
[00:22.06] Trying to make gold with every brew
[00:25.16] Then one night the fiercest flood had came
[00:28.15] Every formula had washed away
[00:30.91] Desperate he turned to the darkest tomes
[00:34.08] Filled with magic only evil knows
[00:37.02] He cried out with a summoning spell
[00:40.09] A demon rose from beneath the well
[00:43.03] So pronounced was the wizard's pain
[00:45.82] He was offered up a simple exchange
[00:49.77] All the gold he could ever dream
[00:52.19] For his life's most important thing
[00:54.90] Without question he signed his name
[00:57.81] Not knowing there would be hell to pay
[01:06.95]
[01:12.03] The wizard woke once the deal was done
[01:16.22] Turned around to search for what was gone
[01:19.10] Still remained his life's important things
[01:22.29] Plus a heavy bag of golden rings
[01:25.16] Two years later with his wealth in hand
[01:28.26] He built the tallest cabin in the land
[01:31.14] Set his sights on love and found a wife
[01:34.11] Made their vows under the starry lights
[01:36.87] He prayed to God the demon wouldn't take
[01:39.81] His only love for his past mistakes
[01:42.82] But his wife stayed alive and well
[01:45.84] The wizard hoped he averted hell
[01:48.84] Four years later she bore a child
[01:52.01] The flesh and blood of borrowed time
[01:54.95] In his cabin they lived like kings
[01:57.18] Not knowing what the future would bring
[02:04.19]
[02:13.13] Six years later from that fateful day
[02:16.06] The demon finally came to stake his claim
[02:19.15] The wizard's most important thing in life
[02:22.19] The man jumped up to shield his wife and child
[02:25.12] He begged and pleaded all could hear his cries
[02:28.16] But no words could change the demon's mind
[02:31.07] With a spell the wizard's body tore
[02:33.95] Into a horrid monster he transformed
[02:37.16] His bones bent backward as he writhed
[02:40.10] Like a beast bloodlust in his eyes
[02:43.17] 'Cause his life's most important thing
[02:46.03] Wasn't wife or child it was his sanity
[02:48.80] He turned his gaze to his love so sweet
[02:51.87] With a mouth full of sharpened teeth
[02:54.95] Filled with terror she ran with haste
[02:58.62] Child in hand she left him to his fate
[03:06.02]
[03:12.10] In the forest where nobody goes
[03:16.45] Lives a wizard that still haunts its roads
[03:19.21] A wicked smile and a staff of oak
[03:22.07] Holding up what's left of his cracked bones
[03:25.31] He spends his days at the wishing well
[03:28.26] Mixing potions that won't make him well
[03:31.18] All the riches in the world won't quell
[03:34.09] A life of pain from a deal with hell
[03:37.03]
