Mephisto [English translation]

From the center of the Earth, I came suddenly through the seventh gate

to serve you on Earth,

I am the Lord of shadows, I fulfill every dream.

From a stone I bring to life a bud, shoot, and tree

I am your master, I am your lord

My steel hoof storms you

I make golden honey from concentrated poison

that nothing on Earth exceeds in its sweetness,

I heal you from the thirst for knowledge, and lend you meat and drink,

If we find ourselves there, I'll build on your thanks

I am your master...

I laugh, I dance, I jump, I repeat new songs

I batter the world to ruin and build it up again

You have written with blood, you know the rules too,

I'm coming for your soul, that's my custom

I am your master...
