Vathek

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
