The Magician's Birthday

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 by all 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 nightmares 
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 ..
