The Magician
High Knights
Do you believe in magic? What do you believe magic is?.. perhaps illusion? Or a wonder that you cannot fully understand? As a child I always wanted to become a magician and I think metaphorically perhaps I am. We express our magic in our own ways through many different forms. Time was gifted to us, Its just down to us what we choose to do with it. Time is a teacher and time is opportunity. I entertain what it is we are here for with this song. What is our purpose, perhaps it is to create? Even more so, create only what it is only you can create. Show the world you and be what others can’t be. For those that don’t know how you did it, it will appear to them as magic. I am a poet / rapper and I can’t say where my ideas come from. My intuition perhaps? Looking at this album I wouldn’t say this is one of my strongest songs but when I wrote it I fell in love with it and couldn’t leave it out of the compilation. I think of all Magic is the power of creativity and life that we hold in our hands. A bit Of an empowering song saying you’ve got the power of life in your hands.

The Lyrics
(Intro)
You been given opportunity
time waits for the brew to become food
for you to break on through
and do what you gotta do
learn them lessons you got
time is a virtue.
Verse 01
Ha ha the magician is you brother,
blow em away, we got love for the bank
we got buck all to pay
and a whole lot I must say
here for the tears and
the fears that interfere
fear of death has got a lot
staying in the beware
I been then, let me tell ya a dream
I keep seeing re-appear
each week I got a wand in my hand
and top hat on my peak
millions of people to reach
and gotta bring them outta disbelief
leave any figment of doubt
your winging it now
flying by the seat of your pants
into a city of clouds
with out a chance
but with the answer in your hands.
Bridge
The magician got a trick
under his sleeve
you best believe it,
got a remedy to turn
his enemy into his own
weaponry,
the magician got more
than the power to see it
he got the power to be it
the magician is no coward
just a man of the moment
and the moment happens when
you don’t even know it
am I a magician, people ask
no I’m a born poet.
Chorus
Lets make the magic
Oh I wanna make the magic
Yo my heart writes it down
I got magic can you feel me now
and make magic,
I got the heart to please
it’s not the result but its what you see
the magician is apart of me
I make magic, and I want
the world to see
lets make the magic
Verse 02
He’s man that’s invested in no frames
got an understanding
beyond his own brain
no limits no end no finish
just a tendency
to mend with his hands
no gimmicks he got fans
people love him to death
his critics got him step
while he’s taking the next
he’s not afraid and
he want’s to move on
whose gone, not noticed
when he’s around too long
like a promise he’s done it
and his work carries
in the air like pollution.
(chorus)
Verse 03
Zelus tell us can you do the math
well I say its like selling food to the fat
can you do the math?
I feel guilty
giving away a key
that can get you filthy
rich in love happiness
success and fortune
its giving away the garbage
the majority taught you.
Lose the fear the doubt the ego
and fly like an eagle be a hero
and save yourself
he’s a magician that gets the point
life is short, learn early
bite the bullet, fight to fulfil it
keep that spirit don’t kill it
I feel it
the real magic in life
is when you see what you believe
and what you perceive things to be
freedom of speech
and what prevents evil to breath
its magic its in love its in life its in me
the magician got a trick
under his sleeve.
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
