Faustus

I wager, back! hold!
Why do you scourge me and my soul?
The world is yours
I love her, I love her not
Go to the crossroads and call for me thrice
I wager, seize my soul and the world is yours
The world is yours
I love her, love her not
I claim my wager, I love her not
One word to remember, to remember the pact
I claim my wager
I love her, I love her not
Just one word to break the pact
One word say the word just tell me the word
I claim my wager
I love her, I love her not
Hear me call out from the funeral pyre
I wager, back! hold!
Why do you scourge me, seize my soul?
You wrest what is divine in me
I love her, I love her not
The golden receptacle, the pernicious drug
I claim my wager, it’s in my hand
Why am I accursed?
I love her, I love her not
Hear me call out from the funeral pyre
I will remember to not say the word
