A Cautionary Tale Sabbat текст и слова песни

Faustus begin thine incantations,

take good care to draw thy circle true,

by God must you prevail -

for if you fail these

demons make a meal of you.


Your soul shall be their meat -

a kingly feast for them to eat,

beware your future at hand,

alas for thou art dammed.


GOOD ANGEL:

"Faustus seek repentance,

abjure this evil art,

cease this wretched wickedness

and cleans thy foolish heart,

for the evil that once served you

has made of you a slave,

and transformed your bed of roses'

to a premature grave."


Then in a mighty flash of light

before thee Mephistopheles appears.


FAUSTUS:

"I charge thee go and change thy shape,

for you fill my soul with fear.

Now swift-as-hell back to the fire

return an old Franciscan Friar."


MEPHISTOPHELES:

"Mortal command me while you can,

For surely thou art dammed."


BAD ANGEL:

"Faustus be thou resolute

in what thou wilst perform,

ignore these righteous idiots -

their trinity to scorn,

for years of depravation you receive eternal life,

but fame and wealth and maidens-fair

are by far the better price."


FAUSTUS:

"Temptations all around me,

is there nowhere I can turn?

Hellfire is all about me,

now I know that I shall burn,

I face excommunication for the error

of my ways - to burn in Hell for all my days.

Bell, book and candle, candle, book, bell,

forwards and backwards to damn me to Hell.


Jehova I beg thee have mercy on my soul.

Be gone foul beast that stands before me,

my God! The midnight hour chimes,
