Mephisto [English translation]
Mephisto [English translation]
From the center of the Earth,
through the seventh gate
I suddenly emerged,
to serve you on earth
I'm the lord of the Shadows,
I fulfill every dream
Out of a stone I grow bud,
sprout, and tree.
I'm your master, I'm your man
My hoof of steel rushes ahead of you
I make golden honey
out of concentrated poison
There's nothing on this Earth
that surpasses its sweetness
I heal your thirst for knowledge,
and lend you meat and drink
When we're on the other side,
I'll be counting on your thanks1
I'm your master...
I laugh, dance, jump, recite new songs
I bash the world to rubble
And build it up again
You have written in blood,
and you know the rules too
I take your soul,
With me, that's quite customary
I'm your master...
1. Can also mean "I'll build on your thanks" but I think this is the more likely meaning
