-Lee Kerslake
-Mark Clarke

From the Album Demons and Wizards (1972)
Demons and Wizards is the fourth album released by British rock band Uriah Heep.
The original vinyl release was a gatefold sleeve, the front of which was designed by Roger Dean and contains a hidden erotic image of male and female genitalia. The inner of the gatefold had pictures of the band and notes by Ken Hensley, whilst the LP itself was housed in a liner on which were printed the lyrics.
The songs "The Wizard" and "Easy Livin'" were released as singles in the United Kingdom and North America, as well as many other markets. "Easy Livin'" entered the US Top 40 at #39, making it Heep's first American hit. "Easy Livin'" was also a mega hit in New Zealand and Germany, countries which were becoming a strong market for the band. It reached a disappointing #75 in Australia.
Demons and Wizards was certified Gold in the US on 27 October 1972. RIAA certification The album also served as partial inspiration for Hansi Kürsch and Jon Schaffer's side-project Demons and Wizards

Lyrics:

I feel you trying,
though in my heart I know you're lying.
And though your love for me is dying,
I see you crying.

It's the pain of your secret heart
bringing you to tears, filling you with fears
for your mind and for your soul.

I touch you softly now,
born on by hope until the end, somehow.
I am a man and I must keep my vows,
I must go on.

But the wall of your secret heart
keeps my distance clear, helps my footsteps fall
back in line inside my mind.

What's the use? You turned me loose
and left me here to cry.
Where's the love we talked about?
Where's my sunny sky?
Secret hearts and sorry tales
will never help love grow.
Spread your wings my darkened soul,
the time has come to go.
I will not be hurried down
or blackened by you lies.
I must go and find my dreams
and live in paradise.

(Repeat and fade)

What do you think I am? Do you think I'm dreaming?
Don't you know I know what it is you're schemeing?
Who did you think gave you the right,
hidden by the dead of night,
to take the world and turn it upside down,
when it should be round?

It seems I made it just in time
to use my reason and my rhyme
to save us from the evils of your mind.

I will cast the spell, be sure I cast it well.
I will light a fire, kindled with desire.
I'll fill you with fear so you'll know I'm here
and I won't be treated like a fool.
Stop what you're pretending, there'll be no happy ending.
I'm alive and darkness is my tool.

But when the night is over,
and daytime steals your cover,
the goodness of the morning sun
will wear away what you have done
and leave you cold.

I have no need for moonlight.
You're wrong to trust in sunlight.
For I exist, not just in storms,
but in life itself, in so many forms
to leave you cold.

I will leave you now, but you wont defeat me.
You had best beware when you come to meet me.
Love and truth will follow me,
an army of reality,
brought from every corner of the world.

You will never break the spell.
I summon all the fires of hell
and this is my advice for what it's worth:

Let us not begin this fight we cannot win.
Be sure you're watching me.
Cause all through your life,
every day and every night
You should know that I'll be watching you.

This song still ranks either number one or two with me for all time. Depends on my mood.

Heep should have released it as a single. What the hell, if Stairway to Heaven, Won't get fooled again, and other long songs got plenty of air time Paradise would have too.

I certainly didn't need to but I was watching the lyrics here. There are three mistakes.

It's "daunted" sole, not darkened. "So no good you pretending", and "warm away", not

wear. Great job anyways! Just thought you should know.
