Lyrics Translated
He searches for knowledge, digs deep into old books, oh
Faust wants more, but in the silence he hears whispers, oh
He wants the real thing, no jokes, no embellishment
With Mephisto he plays fate, frivolous mountains
How much truth can you buy?
Which demons lure and provide comfort?
Everything is full of magic potions, but the meaning mostly remains bare
This pact-defeated journey is the path he takes
Then he is consumed by the pride that lives in his dreams
His world soon becomes shadows
He despairs, but the pact is signed first, hey
A candle is lit in the study, it is burning
He buys knowledge, power and unfortunately also contempt
And the devil laughs because Faust is now in his clutches
What is still real, what is just a deception?
The spirits he called surround him
It's going downhill, every word is like a curse
And in the darkness, the prince of hell whispers in his ear
'I have you, Faust, and I'll take your soul from you'
Striving will be his downfall, greed
His dreams fly high, but the wings are made of wax, oh
On dark nights he flees from the eternal no
Days gained, but years lost
Because in the mirror he only sees his cold glow
[hook]
Faust in play, the bet is on, fate is sealed
He dances with doubt and the fear that creeps into the shadows
He thought knowledge brought him freedom, but he only feels guided
By the deceiver's hands reaching for him in the dark
The deal is done, there's no turning back, oh
The stage is set, the masks deeply revered, oh
He traded his heart for dark arts
But every magic trick makes him even lonelier
The world in his hand, but he feels so empty
He chases the shadows, but there is no peace anymore
The bell strikes midnight, the witching hour strikes
With every blow, he ventures deeper into the darkness
[hook]
Game after game, the wheel turns, the fist falls low
He's intoxicated by power and doesn't see that he's losing
But if you look behind the scenes, you'll soon see the scars, hey
Every verse of his story, a warning, hey
He sought glitz and glamour, but all he got was a storm
His name, a synonym for the one who flew too high, burns in the tower
And every line he lived like a verse from ancient times
A monument of ambition, for eternity
Desperation in his breath, coldness in his eyes
And still the question, was the piece worth it?
[hook]
The devil in him, with every step of his path
Enlightenment was the goal, but error was the act
Falling into temptation, trapped in the night
On the stage of his life, where the pact laughs at him forever
The magic and the demons, all the powers he summons
They eat his soul for breakfast, the scent lies in the ashes
And the rhythm of his dreams relentlessly beats his song
The sirens are calling him, but he can't see the shore
[hook]
Faust's shadow casts itself long on the streets of deceit
In the backyard of power, he loses his flight
And no amount of knowledge in this world can erase the pain from his chest
Because in the chains of his choice, he loses his desire
The deal is done, the dice are rolling, Faust's fate, the bet is hard
His heart beats loudly to the beat of a drum, immersed in darkness
The world that lies at his feet kisses him coldly, soulfully
But every power and every glory only torments him deeper
The fire in his chest dies, fueled by doubt
He looks back at the work, the oath, in the face of power
And is reflected in every act that marks his ruin
A pact of hope and betrayal that leads to his doom
[hook]
Faust trapped, truth becomes farce
With Mephistopheles at his side, man becomes a larva
