Wagner
It's an amazing delight
Walking in the spirit of the times
Thinking back to those wise men who lived before us
I have faith in the human growth
Of the knowledge handed down
After all, only this remains after us.
Faust
This is an illusion of your mind
It's not enough to pass on the written word from the past
To elevate what the human knows
It's necessary to look at your heart, light of spirit
Two souls live in my chest
Storyteller
If you believe you rise from the dust
On the other side you've lost the trust
The will of love to cling to the world
In your chest live two souls,
Two souls in you
Faust
You will not obtain wisdom, unless you feel it
You will never unite heart to heart,
If you don't speak from your soul
Two souls live in my chest
Storyteller
If you believe you rise from the dust
Wagner
Our life is too short
In the end only art remains
If we're able to attain knowledge
We'll in turn become wise
Inheritance for our heirs
Storyteller
If you believe you rise from the dust
