lirik lagu sabbat - a cautionary tale
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-h-ll 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?
h-llfire is all about me,
now i know that i shall burn,
i face excommunication for the error
of my ways – to burn in h-ll for all my days.
bell, book and candle, candle, book, bell,
forwards and backwards to d-mn me to h-ll.
jehova i beg thee have mercy on my soul.
be gone foul beast that stands before me,
my god! the midnight hour chimes,
oh lord have mercy he comes for me,
i haven’t got much time.
i am awake this is no dream,
i cry – but terror takes my scream,
and now my future is at hand,
also for i am dammed.”
[good angel:]
“think for just one moment
and i’m sure that you will see,
the moral of this story –
that what shall be must be.
he who gives his soul to h-ll,
must dare to pay the price,
he versed in divinity must
live a n-ble life –
or else he is d-mned!
