Lyrics

In the magic garden Some were singing Some were dancing While the midnight moon Shone brightly overhead The stars so gaily glistened And the sphinx in silence listened to The magician tell of Lives that he had led Let the bells of freedom ring Songs of love to friday's king Let's all go to The magician's birthday It's in a forest But not so far away Much to do And so much to say While we listened to The orchid orchestra play Happy birthay to you ... Happy birthday to magician Happy birthday to you ... Then at the dead of midnight As we watched the dancing firelight The air grew cold And seemed to dull the flame The fire died The music faded Filled with fear of death we waited For now we knew Some evil was to blame I challenge you I challenge you all For all you own And all you know And I own the powers of darkness I will steal what is mine Surrender now or face my spite I grant you it may be friday night But did you know this day Also numbers thirteen First I'll give you fire I turn your fire into a sleepy stream Yes, now I give you darkness From your horror I'll create a dream You cannot fight me For I have the sword of hate But one thing you can't see My answer is simply An impenetrable fortress Of love ... love ... love ... The fear went as quickly as it came The air was clear The fire burned again The flames leapt The organ played The swans sang To greet the day And then we knew that Love will find love will find love .
