Benjamin
The crowd gasps
As I pull back the curtain
Benjamin's matrix
Is shining like death
The front row
Looks pale and uncertain
Wide eyes and
An intake of breath
The terrible risk
No-one understands
I'm putting my life
Into Benjamin's hands
The terrible risk
No-one understands
I'm putting my life
Into Benjamin's hands
There's no game quite so
Cutthroat as magic
Benjamin said
No risk, no reward
You have to give them
The hint of the tragic
The promise that you might
Die by the sword
The terrible risk
No-one understands
I'm putting my life
Into Benjamin's hands
The terrible risk
No-one understands
I'm putting my life
Into Benjamin's hands
He straps me in
Our eyes meet an instant
I feel a jolt
Of terrible fear
The cage closes
I realise his intent
Stage left
My wife holds him near
The game he was playing
I now understand
I've given my wife
Into Benjamin's hands
No one can save a man
Whom ambition has damned
My life is extinguished
By Benjamin's hand
The game he was playing
I now understand
No one can save a man
Whom ambition has damned
The game he was playing
I now understand
No one can save a man
Whom ambition has damned
The game he was playing
I now understand
No one can save a man
Whom ambition has damned
The game he was playing
I now understand
No one can save a man
Whom ambition has damned
The game he was playing
I now understand
No one can save a man
Whom ambition has damned
Whom ambition has damned
Whom ambition has damned
As I pull back the curtain
Benjamin's matrix
Is shining like death
The front row
Looks pale and uncertain
Wide eyes and
An intake of breath
The terrible risk
No-one understands
I'm putting my life
Into Benjamin's hands
The terrible risk
No-one understands
I'm putting my life
Into Benjamin's hands
There's no game quite so
Cutthroat as magic
Benjamin said
No risk, no reward
You have to give them
The hint of the tragic
The promise that you might
Die by the sword
The terrible risk
No-one understands
I'm putting my life
Into Benjamin's hands
The terrible risk
No-one understands
I'm putting my life
Into Benjamin's hands
He straps me in
Our eyes meet an instant
I feel a jolt
Of terrible fear
The cage closes
I realise his intent
Stage left
My wife holds him near
The game he was playing
I now understand
I've given my wife
Into Benjamin's hands
No one can save a man
Whom ambition has damned
My life is extinguished
By Benjamin's hand
The game he was playing
I now understand
No one can save a man
Whom ambition has damned
The game he was playing
I now understand
No one can save a man
Whom ambition has damned
The game he was playing
I now understand
No one can save a man
Whom ambition has damned
The game he was playing
I now understand
No one can save a man
Whom ambition has damned
The game he was playing
I now understand
No one can save a man
Whom ambition has damned
Whom ambition has damned
Whom ambition has damned
