"Faust" lyrics - SEPTICFLESH

All my life I strived to gain
Insight to things that scared most men
Through the dungeons of the mind
I learned the tricks playing with fire
Evil wears a weird facade
Invented to protect man's hate
For the painful, the unknown
The feared and the forbidden

[Chorus:]
I've dreamt the devil was I, my quest complete
I've dreamt the devil was I, I was awake
My quest complete
Faust

Captive from philosophies
That root on hopes like rotten trees
I see the hanged men on their ropes
Which harvester will rip these crops?
Which harvester will rip these crops?
If their soul deserved a dime
Their chance is lost - no bargain now
I want now all that I can't get
Richness, power
Pleasure without end
Richness, power
Pleasure without end

[Chorus:]
I've dreamt the devil was I, my quest complete
I've dreamt the devil was I, I was awake
My quest complete
Faust
I've dreamt the devil was I, my quest complete
I've dreamt the devil was I, I was awake
I've dreamt the devil was I, my quest complete
I've dreamt the devil was I
Faust
