Vision in the centre, a command in any hand Throwing shadows of black all across the land Making it look so easy, making it look so grand You could hold a golden chalice And he would take it from your hand He really was a hero, always the hero to me But don't be mistaken, look closer and you'll see He was the sorcerer He was the sorcerer Feeling that you're passing through an endless space in time A feeling so unreal that you want to leave behind And even in the darkness I would not lend a hand You got the power more than I can understand So leave well alone, you must be foolin' Ooh, don't play with fire, you must be foolin' Don't mess with the Sorcerer - shout it out! Don't mess with the Sorcerer - shout it out! He can only bring you sorrow, even tho' he's still around And everybody knows, he'll always let you down But if you need somebody, he will always be your friend But watch the dark behind his eyes, you'll be the loser once again So leave well alone, you must be foolin' Ooh, don't play with fire, you must be foolin' Don't mess with the Sorcerer - shout it out! Don't mess with the Sorcerer - shout it out! No matter what you do, he can take you by the hand Movin' in on you, the hero in his Never-Never land Don't mess with the Sorcerer - shout it out! Don't mess with the Sorcerer - shout it out!
