See the man in the bookshop
See his withered hand
He walks very slowly
Never stands in crowdsChildren stand in wonder
As he turns and walks away
Closely guards the secret
Of the fury in his eyesHe's the man with the Midas touch
He'll make you burn with just one look
He's the man with the Midas touch
He's got the fury in his eyesHe looks so innocent
As he shuffles down the street
But he is the holy sentinel
That guards the gates of HadesTo stop the Lord of Darkness
Coming straight from Hell
The bringer of disaster
The one who took the breadHe's the man with the Midas touch
He'll make you burn with just one look
He's the man with the Midas touch
He's got the fury in his eyesUntil the final conflict
He has to walk the earth
To do his master's bidding
And stop the evil forceHe waits for Armageddon
The Nazarene will come
Rising from the ashes
Of the fallen oneHe's the man with the Midas touch
He'll make you burn with just one look
He's the man with the Midas touch
He's got the fury in his eyesHe's the man with the Midas touch
He'll make you burn with just one look
He's the man with the Midas touch
He's got the fury in his eyesHe's the man with the Midas touch
He'll make you burn with just one look
He's the man with the Midas touch
He's got the fury in his eyes
