Mephistopheles' Return

2 views

Lyrics

(Beethoven)
 In every life
 It has been said
 There comes a time to join the dead
 Admit there is no second chance
 And join death in a final dance
 Across the floor eternity
 Until the final moments bled
 And in the dark to take his hand
 Accept that it is time to wed
 I don't know what I'm thinking
 Because all that I see
 Is his face grinning
 Mephistopheles
 I need to find an answer
 For this one can not be
 Within the words of Mephistophel...
 (Towards Twist)
 Tell me what you think
 Tell me what you know
 Did you really think
 That there would be an ever after
 Do you think I'm scared
 Tell me does it show
 When inside this deafness
 I can always hear his whispering
 (Towards Ghosts)
 There comes a time you decide
 What from your life will be real
 What scars you will keep alive
 What you are willing to heal
 But can I gamble this night
 With everything that I am
 And can I erase my life
 Or do I stay here and be (damned)
 (Towards Twist)
 Tell me what you think
 Tell me what you know
 Did you really think
 That there would be an ever after
 Do you think I'm scared
 Tell me does it show
 When inside this deafness
 I can always hear his laughter
 I don't know what I'm thinking
 Because all that I see
 Is his face grinning
 Mephistopheles
 I need to find an answer
 For this one can not be
 Within the words of Mephistopheles
 (I)
 Don't need this path before me
 Don't need forgotten glory
 Don't need these threats of violence
 Don't need eternal silence
 Don't need these midnight visions
 Don't need to make decisions
 Don't need to be uncertain
 Don't need this final curtain
 (II)
 Somewhere out there
 He still gazes
 As I wander through his mazes
 Death and life here
 Truth or lies
 Every thought is well disguised
 (III)
 Now
 It is too late
 This path to take
 Don't want to lose my life
 This way
 Medusa dreams
 The dead still scream
 Don't want to see my life
 Betrayed...
 (IV)
 All these things are now before me
 Endless death or timeless glory
 On this night of ghosts returning
 To the light of bridges burning
 All these things are now before me
 Endless death or timeless glory
 On this night of ghosts returning
 To the light of bridges burning
 (I)
 Now it is too late
 This path to take
 Don't want to see my life be... (trayed)
 (Towards Twist)
 Tell me what you think
 Tell me what you know
 Did you really think
 That there would be an ever after
 Do you think I'm scared
 Tell me does it show
 When inside this deafness
 I can always hear his laughter
 I don't know what I'm thinking
 Because all that I see
 Is his face grinning
 Mephistopheles
 I need to find an answer
 For this one cannot be
 Within the words of Mephistopheles
 The cost of patience
 When there's no time before me
 Of hesitation
 All for this twisted glory
 And my salvation
 The cost of how it's gotten
 The cost of what's gained
 All forgotten
 All forgotten...
