I see the painted tears on the painted eyes and the smiles are
Not forever
The young and old and those we trust must fade away and turn
To dust
The words will move as the music moves, only in time
Yet that which is only living now - can only die

Retaliate and take revenge for bolted doors
Deceive accept the lies they'll tell no more
Forgive to make the broken turn to pale
Surpass rise up again before we fail like vathek

Last stone, my last regret - engraved lest all this dust forget
I should have known when evil men are strong - no life is
Good, no pleasure long
Intolerance, the bitter cheat - the bright of eye, the indiscrete
Embitterment - so heaven sent. We weave the truth with silk
Deceits

Retaliate and take revenge for bolted doors
Deceive accept the lies they'll tell no more
Forgive to make the broken turn to pale
Surpass rise up again before we fail like vathek

Mephistopheles. Mephistopheles I know him
All my days are drifting by from one to another
I feel the need - I need, I need another
All my days are drifting by - I need another

Give it to me; I need another
Give in to me; this fire requires another
Give me the angels; give me the clouds

Retaliate and take revenge for bolted doors
Deceive accept the lies they'll tell no more
Forgive to make the broken turn to pale
Surpass rise up again before we fail like vathek
