[00:04:16] Songs Title：a cautionary tale

[00:04:16] Faustus begin thine incantations,

[00:04:16] Take good care to draw thy circle true,

[00:04:16] By God must you prevail -

[00:04:16] For if you fail these

[00:04:16] Demons make a meal of you.

[00:04:16] Your soul shall be their meat -

[00:04:16] A kingly feast for them to eat,

[00:04:16] Beware your future at hand,

[00:04:16] Alas for thou art dammed.

[00:04:16] GOOD ANGEL:

[00:04:16] ＂Faustus seek repentance,

[00:04:16]

[00:04:16] Cease this wretched wickedness

[00:04:16] And cleans thy foolish heart,

[00:04:16] For the evil that once served you

[00:04:16] Has made of you a slave,

[00:04:16] And transformed your bed of roses'

[00:04:16] To a premature grave.＂

[00:04:16] Then in a mighty flash of light

[00:04:16] Before thee Mephistopheles appears.

[00:04:16] FAUSTUS:

[00:04:16] ＂I charge thee go and change thy shape,

[00:04:16] For you fill my soul with fear.

[00:04:16] Now swift-as-hell back to the fire

[00:04:16] Return an old Franciscan Friar.＂

[00:04:16] MEPHISTOPHELES:

[00:04:16] ＂Mortal command me while you can,

[00:04:16] For surely thou art dammed.＂

[00:04:16] BAD ANGEL:

[00:04:16] ＂Faustus be thou resolute

[00:04:16] In what thou wilst perform,

[00:04:16] Ignore these righteous idiots -

[00:04:16] Their trinity to scorn,

[00:04:16] For years of depravation you receive eternal life,

[00:04:16] But fame and wealth and maidens-fair

[00:04:16] Are by far the better price.＂

[00:04:16] FAUSTUS:

[00:04:16] ＂Temptations all around me,

[00:04:16] Is there nowhere I can turn?

[00:04:16] Hellfire is all about me,

[00:04:16] Now I know that I shall burn,

[00:04:16] I face excommunication for the error

[00:04:16] Of my ways -

[00:04:16] To burn in Hell for all my days.

[00:04:16] Bell, book and candle,

[00:04:16] Candle, book, bell,

[00:04:16] Forwards and backwards

[00:04:16] To damn me to Hell.

[00:04:16] Jehova I beg thee have mercy on my soul.

[00:04:16] Be gone foul beast that stands before me,

[00:04:16] My God! The midnight hour chimes,

[00:04:16] Oh Lord have mercy he comes for me,

[00:04:16] I haven't got much time.

[00:04:16] I am awake this is no dream,

[00:04:16] I cry - but terror takes my scream,

[00:04:16] And now my future is at hand,

[00:04:16] Also for I am dammed.＂

[00:04:16] GOOD ANGEL:

[00:04:16] ＂Think for just one moment

[00:04:16] And I'm sure that you will see,

[00:04:16] The moral of this story -

[00:04:16] That what shall be must be.

[00:04:16] He who gives his soul to Hell,

[00:04:16] Must dare to pay the price,

[00:04:16] He versed in divinity must

[00:04:16] Live a noble life -

[00:04:16] OR ELSE HE IS DAMNED!
