(BEETHOVEN)

IN EVERY LIFE

IT HAS BEEN SAID

THERE COMES A TIME TO JOIN THE DEAD

ADMIT THERE IS NO SECOND CHANCE

AND JOIN DEATH IN A FINAL DANCE



ACROSS THE FLOOR ETERNITY

UNTIL THE FINAL MOMENTS BLED

AND IN THE DARK TO TAKE HIS HAND

ACCEPT THAT IT IS TIME TO WED



I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING

BECAUSE ALL THAT I SEE

IS HIS FACE GRINNING

MEPHISTOPHELES



I NEED TO FIND AN ANSWER

FOR THIS ONE CAN NOT BE

WITHIN THE WORDS OF MEPHISTOPHEL...



( TOWARDS TWIST )

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK

TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW

DID YOU REALLY THINK

THAT THERE WOULD BE AN EVER AFTER



DO YOU THINK I'M SCARED

TELL ME DOES IT SHOW

WHEN INSIDE THIS DEAFNESS

I CAN ALWAYS HEAR HIS WHISPERING



( TOWARDS GHOSTS )

THERE COMES A TIME YOU DECIDE

WHAT FROM YOUR LIFE WILL BE REAL

WHAT SCARS YOU WILL KEEP ALIVE

WHAT YOU ARE WILLING TO HEAL



BUT CAN I GAMBLE THIS NIGHT

WITH EVERYTHING THAT I AM

AND CAN I ERASE MY LIFE

OR DO I STAY HERE AND BE DAMNED



( TOWARDS TWIST )

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK

TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW

DID YOU REALLY THINK

THAT THERE WOULD BE AN EVER AFTER



DO YOU THINK I'M SCARED

TELL ME DOES IT SHOW

WHEN INSIDE THIS DEAFNESS

I CAN ALWAYS HEAR HIS LAUGHTER



I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING

BECAUSE ALL THAT I SEE

IS HIS FACE GRINNING

MEPHISTOPHELES



I NEED TO FIND AN ANSWER

FOR THIS ONE CAN NOT BE

WITHIN THE WORDS OF MEPHISTOPHELES



I

DON'T NEED THIS PATH BEFORE ME

DON'T NEED FORGOTTEN GLORY

DON'T NEED THESE THREATS OF VIOLENCE

DON'T NEED ETERNAL SILENCE



DON'T NEED THESE MIDNIGHT VISIONS

DON'T NEED TO MAKE DECISIONS

DON'T NEED TO BE UNCERTAIN

DON'T NEED THIS FINAL CURTAIN



II

SOMEWHERE OUT THERE

HE STILL GAZES

AS I WANDER THROUGH HIS MAZES



DEATH AND LIFE HERE

TRUTH OR LIES

EVERY THOUGHT IS WELL DISGUISED



III

NOW

IT IS TOO LATE

THIS PATH TO TAKE

DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY LIFE THIS WAY



MEDUSA DREAMS

THE DEAD STILL SCREAM

DON'T WANT TO SEE MY LIFE BETRAYED



IV

ALL THESE THINGS ARE NOW BEFORE ME

ENDLESS DEATH OR TIMELESS GLORY

ON THIS NIGHT OF GHOSTS RETURNING

TO THE LIGHT OF BRIDGES BURNING



NOW IT IS TOO LATE

THIS PATH TO TAKE

DON'T WANT TO SEE MY LIFE BE...( TRAYED )



( TOWARDS TWIST )

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK

TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW

DID YOU REALLY THINK

THAT THERE WOULD BE AN EVER AFTER



DO YOU THINK I'M SCARED

TELL ME DOES IT SHOW

WHEN INSIDE THIS DEAFNESS

I CAN ALWAYS HEAR HIS LAUGHTER



I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING

BECAUSE ALL THAT I SEE

IS HIS FACE GRINNING

MEPHISTOPHELES



I NEED TO FIND AN ANSWER

FOR THIS ONE CANNOT BE

WITHIN THE WORDS OF MEPHISTOPHELES



THE COST OF PATIENCE

WHEN THERE'S NO TIME BEFORE ME

OF HESITATION

ALL FOR THIS TWISTED GLORY



AND MY SALVATION

THE COST OF HOW IT'S GOTTEN

THE COST OF WHAT'S GAINED

ALL FORGOTTEN

ALL FORGOTTEN
