See the man in the bookshop   See his withered hand   He walks very slowly never stands in crowds   Children stand and wonder as he turns and walks away   Closely guards the secret   Of the beauty in his eyes      He'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 beauty in his eyes      He looks so innocent   As he shuffles down the street   But he is the holy sentinel   That guards the gates of Hades   To stop the Lord Of Darkness   Coming straight from hell   The bringer of disaster   The one who tolls the bell      He'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 beauty in his eyes      Until the final conflict   He has to walk the earth   To do his master's bidding   And stop the evil force   He waits for Armageddon   The Nazarene will come   Rising from the ashes   Of the fallen world      He'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 beauty in his eyes   (Repeat twice to end)
