lyrics

He belongs in a fable
In a book of mythology
They might have spoken of him round a campfire
Hands moving, shadowy

His words, beautiful music
Sung to a lyre in verse
But this is no story of gods and of heroes
But a monster considerably worse

One hundred faces and the body of a man,
Don't be deceived
He sings to you sweetly and tells you things
That cannot be believed
If you get too close,
He'll reel you in
Although he's beautiful
The man with a hundred faces leads a life of sin

Has he the teeth of a lion?
Has he eyes that are black?
No, he seems like a man 'til you kiss him
And by that point there's no going back

You'd think, "One hundred faces
Would be the most gruesome sight one could see,"
But be warned, it looks just like there's one
Cos he switches magnificently

One hundred faces and the body of a man,
Don't be deceived
He sings to you sweetly and tells you things
That cannot be believed
If you get too close
He'll reel you in
Although he's beautiful
The man with a hundred faces leads a life of sin

So be wary of his hypnotic call
So many faces I've yet to see them all
Don't look right at him, don't let him make you blind
Wherever you go he'll be following behind

One hundred faces
But the body of a man

One hundred faces and the body of a man
Don't be deceived
He sings to you sweetly and tells you things
That cannot be believed
If you get too close
He'll reel you in
Although he's beautiful
The man with a hundred faces leads a life of sin
He leads a life of sin
