Goethes Faust aus der Sicht des Mephistopheles: die Kraft, die stets das Böse will und doch das Gute schafft. Ein Pakt aus Wissen, Schuld und blank poliertem Glas.
He sat in books, old and covered in dust
Life passed him by, he barely turned a page
He said "I know so much and still it's empty"
Then the shadow stepped beside him
A man in a coat, thin like glass
A silver tongue, a pale cold eye
"I'll show you the life you never knew"
"But you must give me what I wanted from the start"
I am the part of that force
That always wills the evil yet creates the good in your eyes
I'll lead you far, I'll lead you deep inside
I bring enlightenment and guilt at the same time
He drank the wine that promised truth
But every sip became a crack
Inside the prison he had built himself
He saw a girl, pale and pure
She prayed and slowly fell in danger
Then Mephisto laughed and followed his plan
A false treasure, a false desire
The angel fell and the child was broken
And Faust stood at the gates of hell
I am the part of that force
That tempts you and weakens your spirit
I show you a golden life
But I steal your own thoughts
The things that truly matter until you forget them
A blood pact, a final glance
The years drift by piece by piece
He calls for love, he calls for joy
But every wish pulls him back
And when he dies half lost in dreams
Justice trembles in the universe
An angel flies, a devil weeps
And no one knows the measure of his guilt
Was it I who always strived
Was it I who wove Gretchen's name
What is knowledge without restraint
If everything ends like blackened glass
I am the part of that force
That always asks but never gives answers
I walk beside you as long as you wish
Until your voice finally falls silent
