Al Stewart – Necromancer lyrics

Oh the sweet addiction
Of forbidden fruit
Oh the strange affliction
That has taken root
Oh the hidden cancer
Cancer of the soul
Oh the necromancer
Inside us all
I have never seen this many
People gathered in one place together
Don't ask about it
You don't want to know
Caught up in the fury of euphoria
They say will alst forever
Don't ask about it
It might just be so

Oh the burning candle
Oh the pretty flame
Come fly into the night with us
And feel the same
Oh the sweet surrender
Oh the solemn vow
Leave your old identity
And join us now

I bleieve that I have been
Through this before
And I can still remember
Maybe a past life
I just can't tell

The faces and the uniforms
Are changed and yet
There's something so familiar
Am I still under
That same old spell

Oh the sweet addiction
Of forbidden fruit
Oh the strange affliction
That has taken root
Oh the love of darkness
Oh the vampire's kiss
Have mercy on a people
Who would dream like this
Who would dream like this
Like this
