Mephistopheles

Ten

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

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
