Lusting for life and desire for secrets
The fire burns bright in the eyes of a seeker
Prepared for a journey within his own mind
But he may just discover he does not like what he finds
Take the course/to the force/which lies in me/I'll set you free!
Take the course/to the force/which lies in mephistopheles!
Drinking and whoring are never enough for the man with an evil mind.
His body is shrinking and now he is thinking, he'd give up his soul for desire
Oh, to be young again, he'd spill the blood of men
Witness the orgies on eve of beltane
He signed to the devil his body and soul
The prince of hell taught him and he played the role.
"Now pleasure begins faustus, just wait and see
Now with your servant, mephistopheles!"
He had the power, forever young
The drink and debaching that went on and on
Women and lechery, lies of the same
Murder and mayhem, a sinister game
Funny, the way the sand s in the hour glass
Have a way of sneaking up on you!
"It's been twenty-four years of mad pleasures through pain.
You've had your fill of the world and it's gain!"
Mephistopheles beckons, "I'm waiting for you!
For services rendered-payment is due!"
(Oh no! Ha! Ha! Ha!)
He prayed for forgiveness, he prayed for his soul
He made loud repentance, a month maybe more
He red the gospel. He lectured on vice
"Drinking companions, please take my advice!"
Look at me/can't you see/the devil only speaks in lies!
Look at me/can't you see/he only lives to watch you die!
"Drink and the devil are taking you down!
Please heed my warnings, the meanings are sound
Old mephistopheles has but one goal,
He plays your desire and feeds on your soul!"
He wept for his sins, but the wind soon appeared,
Screaming and howling, in presence of fear
The walls and the ceiling were splattered with blood
A grey mass of brain clung to the wall
In a dark corner stared one fresh-plucked eye.
His soul was the devil's, to hell they did fly!
