Mephisto [English translation]

From the center of the Earth,

through the seventh gate

I suddenly emerged,

to serve you on earth

I'm the lord of the Shadows,

I fulfill every dream

Out of a stone I grow bud,

sprout, and tree.

I'm your master, I'm your man

My hoof of steel rushes ahead of you

I make golden honey

out of concentrated poison

There's nothing on this Earth

that surpasses its sweetness

I heal your thirst for knowledge,

and lend you meat and drink

When we're on the other side,

I'll be counting on your thanks1

I'm your master...

I laugh, dance, jump, recite new songs

I bash the world to rubble

And build it up again

You have written in blood,

and you know the rules too

I take your soul,

With me, that's quite customary

I'm your master...

1. Can also mean "I'll build on your thanks" but I think this is the more likely meaning
