I am like the devil Looking up at you from levels far below Was it love that cast me out? Or was it doubt the kind that springs from fear? If I earned a second chance And won a brief forgiving glance from you I'd be sure to fail again And so there's no one I can blame but me Leave me to my ring of fire As long as I can see you higher Safe here in my sad desire I feed off these flames Beauty was my master And she led me to disaster and decay And you are a quiver Full of arrows that deliver shafts of pain Once I was the prince of light And gazed upon eternal night and cried Now I am the man you pity Roaming out across this city without peace Leave me to my ring of fire As long as I can see you higher Safe here in my sad desire I feed off these flames
