about

My sixth evil plan will leave you begging for mercy.

lyrics

APPRENTICE
Open up, there’s a girl at your door
I know you’re here all alone
These dark old woods must be such a bore
I’ll bring you pleasures unknown
All I want is some wisdom
Or at least some advice
I’ve gold or silver
Just go ahead and name your price

SORCERER
Go away, I don’t need silver or gold
I don’t think you know the cost
These woods have wolves and the nights are cold
Go home before you get lost
What would Mama say?
Tell me what would Daddy do?
And all those gentlemen in waiting—
What would they think of you?

APPRENTICE
Gentlemen are gentle, but I want to break free
Baubles and babies—they’re not meant for me
This world is so blind, but I want to see
Show me what I’m meant to be
I’m at your mercy

SORCERER
Your words are fine and your looks are fair
I admit I’m tempted by the fruit you bear
So come on in if you dare
But once you enter my lair
You’ll be at my mercy

BOTH
You need what I’ve got
And I’ve got what you need
There’s no magic word
It’s all in the deed
Magic is real
If it cuts you, be ready to bleed

SORCERER
Once you’ve had your first taste of power
Right to your head it will go
But it’s too soon to pick that flower
You’ve got to let it grow

APPRENTICE
I’m tired of waiting
Now that I’ve learned all your tricks
You took your time
I took my licks

SORCERER
We’re just getting started, I’m not through with you yet
APPRENTICE
I dove in the deep end
SORCERER
You barely got wet
BOTH
There’s much more to give, but we’re so deep in debt
Teacher or teacher’s pet
We all need mercy

You need what I’ve got
I’ve got what you need
There’s no magic word
It’s all in the deed
If we want to make magic
We have to be willing to bleed
We’re at your mercy
