Mephistopheles

Mephistopheles (靡菲斯特) - Animal Kingdom

So what do we do here now said the prophet to the priest

I see so much confusion now we bind them with belief

We take a little bit of honey and put it out of reach

Grow fat upon their monies as we promise them relief

Well adam should have never took that apple from the tree

Knowledge bound and tight in chains of doubt and misery

Bet he wishes that he'd stayed at home and spent more time with eve

Colors started bleeding from the palette of his dreams

So music mephistopheles I summon you to sing for me

Call you across the endless sea through deserts of eternity

Said I would a weaver be and spin in sound this tapestry

My moods become a melody my music's mirrors shades in me

Then fire splits the nada glimpsed chance dancing in shadow

Spirit tell me where this boat goes for

I don't know am I wasting all my time

A shadow broke the circle and a stranger took my hand

And placed one palm in the ocean and the other in the sand

A cold dead planet raced between a dancing moon and sun

Kaleidoscopes of consciousness they flicker then are gone

You pretty little people just the wood the fire burns

As ashes are to ashes so to dust we shall return

A businessman awakens and puts on his suit and tie

Leaves the house in darkness for the 7 25

And then he glimpses in the windows rows of tired hollow eyes

Rubs his own and wonders what has happened to my life

The director's in the counting house counting what he's got

Besides a single plastic flower in a plastic flowerpot

And his fat fingers snap his coins in little towers on his desk

Going to brand them all like cattle put our logos on their chests

What do you think I see now when I'm looking at our lives

Little f**king money puppets dancing in a line

I hear a newborn baby screaming and a lonely widow sigh

See people needing people like the spider needs the fly

A silent moonbeam passing through a broken windowpane

Desire sends you dancing like a moth into the flame

And that sweet mistress m*******a just ain't treating me the same

I used to meet the gaze of strangers once now I look away

Round me runs the traffic and above me thunder trains

Sun don't shine in London town it only seems to rain

Lightning struck the tower and the stars began to fall

Wrote my name in fire with my finger on the wall

Call you by celebrity by magazines and MTV

Bind you in their company

Summon you to sing for me
