Tekst piosenki
Faustus begin thine incantations
Take good care to draw thy circle true
By God must you prevail –
For if you fail these
Demons make a meal of you
Your soul shall be their meat –
A kingly feast for them to eat
Beware your future at hand
Alas for thou art dammed
GOOD ANGEL:
„Faustus seek repentance
)abjure this evil art
Cease this wretched wickedness
And cleans thy foolish heart
For the evil that once served you
Has made of you a slave
And transformed your bed of roses’
To a premature grave.”
Then in a mighty flash of light
Before thee Mephistopheles appears
FAUSTUS:
„I charge thee go and change thy shape
For you fill my soul with fear
Now swift-as-hell back to the fire
Return an old Franciscan Friar.”
MEPHISTOPHELES:
„Mortal command me while you can
For surely thou art dammed.”
BAD ANGEL:
„Faustus be thou resolute
In what thou wilst perform
Ignore these righteous idiots –
Their trinity to scorn
For years of depravation you receive eternal life
But fame and wealth and maidens-fair
Are by far the better price.”
FAUSTUS:
„Temptations all around me
Is there nowhere I can turn?
Hellfire is all about me
Now I know that I shall burn
I face excommunication for the error
Of my ways –
To burn in Hell for all my days
Bell, book and candle
Candle, book, bell
Forwards and backwards
To damn me to Hell
Jehova I beg thee have mercy on my soul
Be gone foul beast that stands before me
My God! The midnight hour chimes
Oh Lord have mercy he comes for me
I haven’t got much time
I am awake this is no dream
I cry – but terror takes my scream
And now my future is at hand
Also for I am dammed.”
GOOD ANGEL:
„Think for just one moment
And I’m sure that you will see
The moral of this story –
That what shall be must be
He who gives his soul to Hell
Must dare to pay the price
He versed in divinity must
Live a noble life –
OR ELSE HE IS DAMNED!
