9. Mephistopheles (5:13)
Ready or not
To give it all that you've got
No matter how surreal it feels
Taking the knocks
When your world is rocked
In electrostatic fields
Bracing to block
The sudden temperature drop
Infusing blood with sweat and tears
Losing the plot
The psychosis shocks
Tell me all about your fears
Could you end this fight?
Years
Of this endless plight
Speak
Craving like Faust
Wild and extreme
The Devil's in town
And the beast off the leash
Wearing that crown
Down on your knees
Screaming out loud
While you spread your disease
Ready, Set, Joust
Thrust the lance deep
Chained and soul bound
There can be no release
Brazen, empowered
Rock your striptease
Slave to that sound
And Mephistopheles
System in play
Reacting day after day
To every pendulous swing
Stoning a knife
Brings its blade to life
A reanimating thing
Numb to the pain
You bring it time and again
Your diagnosis is clear
Bodies you break
Scattered in your wake
Don't you ever shed a tear?
Could you end this fight?
Years
Of this endless plight
Speak
Craving like Faust
Wild and extreme
The Devil's in town
And the beast off the leash
Wearing that crown
Down on your knees
Screaming out loud
While you spread your disease
Ready, Set, Joust
Thrust the lance deep
Chained and soul bound
There can be no release
Brazen, empowered
Rock your striptease
Slave to that sound
And Mephistopheles
Craving like Faust
Wild and extreme
The Devil's in town
And the beast off the leash
Wearing that crown
Down on your knees
Screaming out loud
While you spread your disease
Ready, Set, Joust
Thrust the lance deep
Chained and soul bound
There can be no release
Brazen, empowered
Rock your striptease
Slave to that sound
And Mephistopheles
Ready or not
To give it all that you've got
No matter how surreal it feels
Taking the knocks
When your world is rocked
In electrostatic fields
Craving like Faust
Wild and extreme
The Devil's in town
And the beast off the leash
Wearing that crown
Down on your knees
Screaming out loud
While you spread your disease
