He was born in the land of Samaria
Around the age of Jesus Christ
The son of a merchant and a prostitute
But he called himself divine
With a million tricks
Up his sleeve
He goes from town to town
And people fear him, and people believe
And people start singing
Get your hopes up with Simon the Magician
He’s the one they call The Great Power of God
Get your hopes up with Simon the Magician
Last man standing gets the better world
Men and women gather from across the empire
To watch Simon perform his craft
And if there’s anything that you may need
Just let him touch you with his magic hands
Statues moving, the blind can see
People coming back from the dead
And Simon signing on his golden throne While the people are singing
Get your hopes up with Simon the Magician
He’s the one they call The Great Power of God
Get your hopes up with Simon the Magician
Forget about sin and taste the brave new world
Well he slides through the desert like a hurricane
and he goes to the city of Rome
where people ,seeing his magical ways
they worship him, like a god
Now Peter is begging his Merciful One
to ,fatherly, strike Simon down
and Icarus whispers , as he hits the ground
“I forgive you father”
Get your hopes up with Simon the Magician
He’s the one they call The Great Power of God
Get your hopes up with Simon the Magician
Last man standing gets the better world
Get your hopes up with Simon the Magician
He’s the one they call The Great Power of God
Get your hopes up with Simon the Magician
Everyone kneel before the Standing One
