The Magician's Birthday Lyrics - The Magician's Birthday - Uriah Heep

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
