"Pretend to care
I won't feel that fear
I'll leave behind my all
I'll ensure that they're okay"
And he toiled with his hands
It was a palace he had built
He saw the future as they gathered
His foundation laid the will
And so his palace was a nation
All the citizens were joyed
It was then he felt that peace
Mephistopheles rejoiced
"Now at last your soul is mine!"
That devil laughed and licked his lips
As the man was then drawn under
A holy chorus did ascend
Mephistopheles dismayed
Through righteous deeds his penance paid
The man then slipped from in its grip
And he was welcomed at the gates
