Mephistopheles

Conquer Self - Destruction

Mephistopheles


Ancient soul, in blood Thou dwellest 
My newborn heart is purest hatred 
I rise from the ashes, for Thou art mine 
And grant Thee immortality to suffer through eternity 
Oh, how I wish to lick Thy lips 
To steal Thy speech, to poison Thy mind 
The master of ignorance, thus 
Hath crowned a different kind 

Hass ist eine Leidenschaft, und die Erfuellung ist der Krieg 
Der um seiner Selbst Willen ewig waehrt 
Ohne Hoffnung auf den Sieg

Pale conscious spake of redemption 
Remind me not to trust again 
The lower minds of earthborn creatures 
Gifted with Thy punishment 

Thou shalt obey, for what they pray 
Is the truth that even angels fear 
To weak to speak against my word 
Confront me now as I wait for rebirth 
Into a modern day whence tyrants passed away 
Forever to drown in their million tears 
As love and hate collide leaving purpose sacrificed 
Our blood in darkness dwells 

I hide my shade behind the darkness 
Whence all the scorn hath come 
To banish emotions as she offers her body 
Preaching intolerance for we are of one 
The burden of sorrow has taken my powers 
For seconds that I won't forget as 
Eternity is torn asunder by the grace that I shalt not possess 

Thine is the past I'm drowning in 
Yet, the promise is forever
