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 [bad word] straight from [bad word]  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 [bad word]  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
