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
