[Verse 1]
D Stranger than the comet as it streaks across the sky C Stranger than the truth I know before my open eyes D C I have dealt in mysteries and trickery of light to entertain C Looked into the abyss, called it by its name Gm Bb C Bb F I have plundered time itself, put the world in-side it Gm Bb C Bb F I'm the mysteries, day and night, divide it Am C D C G A plague of wonders, on your knees beside me Am C D C G Know the secrets, you shall not deride us
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Bb C Gm Bb My dreams of empire from my frozen queen C Dm Will come to pass Bb C Gm Bb Know me, the Magus, I am Dr. Dee F Dm And this is my house Em G D C Bm Em G D I am the master of the tides Em G I shame the mirror in my sight D C Bm Am Em What random music of the spheres G D Across the years
[Chorus]
C Em Know this D C Em I will return to this land D C Em Rebuild where the ruins did stand D C Chain up the demons set free Em D Strange alchemy

[Verse 2]
D Gather round the aimless and the feckless and the lame C Hear the master summon up the spirits by their names D C I curse you Edward Kelley, your betrayal for eternity is damned C Know you speak with demons, you cannot command Gm Bb C Bb F Even as I looked into the glass then I was blinded Gm Bb C Bb F Burning by the Mortlake shore my house, my books inside it Am C D C G You have taken up my wife and lain beside her Am C D C G Now the black rain on my house, the timbers burning
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Bb C Gm Bb My dreams of empire from my frozen queen C Dm Will come to pass Bb C Gm Bb Know me, the Magus, I am Dr. Dee F Dm And this was my house Em G D C Bm Am Em G D I was the keeper of the books Em G I had the knowledge of the scrolls D C Bm Am Em But now through ignorance and fear G D I cast a shadow through the years
[Chorus]
C Em Know this D C Em I will return to this land D C Em Rebuild where the ruins did stand D C Chain up the demons set free Em D Strange alchemy
