Mephistopheles

MEPHISTOPHELES

Ready or not, to give it all that you've got
No matter how surreal it feels
Taking the knocks when your world is rocked
In electrostatic fields
Bracing to block the sudden temperature drop
Infusing blood with sweat and tears
Losing the plot, the psychosis shocks
Tell me all about your fears.

Could you end this fight?
Years
Of this endless plight
Speak

Craving like Faust wild and extreme
The Devil's in town and the beast off the leash
Wearing that crown down on your knees
Screaming out loud, while you spread your disease
Ready, Set, Joust, thrust the lance deep
Chained and soul bound, there can be no release
Brazen, empowered, rock your striptease
Slave to that sound and Mephistopheles

System in play, reacting day after day
To every pendulous swing
Stoning a knife brings its blade to life
A reanimating thing
Numb to the pain, you bring it time and again
Your diagnosis is clear
Bodies you break, scattered in your wake
Don't you ever shed a tear?

Could you end this fight?
Years
Of this endless plight,
Speak

Craving like Faust wild and extreme
The Devil's in town and the beast off the leash
Wearing that crown down on your knees
Screaming out loud, while you spread your disease
Ready, Set, Joust, thrust the lance deep
Chained and soul bound, there can be no release
Brazen, empowered, rock your striptease
Slave to that sound and Mephistopheles

Ready or not, to give it all that you've got
No matter how surreal it feels
Taking the knocks when your world is rocked
In electrostatic fields

Craving like Faust wild and extreme
The Devil's in town and the beast off the leash
Wearing that crown down on your knees
Screaming out loud, while you spread your disease
Ready, Set, Joust, thrust the lance deep
Chained and soul bound, there can be no release
Brazen, empowered, rock your striptease
Slave to that sound and Mephistopheles
