[Tobias Sammet:]

Darkness has covered the opera house

Something is wrong you can feel

There's a devil in disguise

A traitor has taken the dais

Catalogue people spend a pitying gaze

What can a man do in such a case

Aristocratic experts on art vomit all over the place

And they wished I'd be doomed eternally


[Michael Kiske:]

Forever French-frying

You'd love to see me dying

Who's let the peacock in

To rock the house - opera house

You want me French-fried and

You'd love to see me fired and

Then kill the Judas in the opera house

Opera house


[Tobias Sammet:]

Huntsmen are rushing around

After the peacock oh, no!

The baton is pink and it's clear: He is a queer

He likes it into his rear


[Michael Kiske:]

Rumors arise he is from outer space

They're out for the bounty

And still they're amazed

Aristocratic lemmings with a highsnobiety leer

Get the chef to make peacock fillet steaks


[Tobias Sammet:]

Forever French-frying

You'd love to see me dying

Who's let the peacock in

To rock the house - opera house

You want me French-fried and

You'd love to see me fired and

Then kill Judas in the opera house

Opera house

We came from a solar system far away

Facing your goggle eyes

To protect this jolly bedlam from decay

Facing your goggle eyes

Who do you think you are

To think you're of a better class?

Who do you think you are

To expect us to kiss your ass?


[Michael Kiske:]

We've come to chase the monkey off your back

Facing your goggle eyes

And we expected some may sound an attack

Facing your goggle eyes


[Tobias Sammet:]

Who do you think you are

To think you're of a higher class?

Who do you think you are

To expect us to kiss your ass?


[Michael Kiske:]

We're gonna be

Taking the chance - taking the chance

To get you darting a glance - darting a glance

At us starting to prance - starting the dance

Of the oddballs


[Tobias Sammet:]

And you're invited

Taking the chance - taking the chance

To get you darting a glance - darting a glance

At us starting to prance - starting the dance

Of the oddballs


[Michael Kiske:]

Frankenstein is out of control

Donkey has been given a soul

Flamboyantly he's playing his song

They can't get it


[Tobias Sammet:]

Nut head he is going insane

The screwball is igniting the flame

Pandora's box has opened, behold

Madness rising


[Both:]

You say treason but I tell you

There ain't no reason

We just have our share

We don't care as long as we're alive

Love our sound and love to hear:


[Michael Kiske:]

Where's the chef to make Judas-fillet-steak?

Forever French-frying

You'd love to see me dying

Who's let the peacock in

To rock the house - opera house

You want me French-fried and

You'd love to see me fired and


[Tobias Sammet:]

Then kill Judas in the opera house

Opera house

Judas at the opera
