JOHN FAUSTUS

from ashes on high

phoenix arising

a man but am i

his conscience leaving

-

a shining moon beams

engulfing the night

broken free of limbs

forever in flight

-

and i will ascend

and i will descend

and i will transcend

and i will amend

and i will offend

and i will defend

-

a raging sun mask

a visage of fire

all i need but ask

all that i desire

-

and i will ascend

and i will descend

and i will transcend

and i will amend

and i will offend

and i will defend

-

i am he

of spirits that be

i am he

of elements three

-

and i will ascend

and i will descend

and i will transcend

and i will amend

and i will offend

and i will defend

JOHN FAUSTUS

for all the means i have at hand

wherefore a mere mortal walking the land

for all the secrets that i know

where all things end is where i will go

-

i know not love

i know not hate

i know not pain

i do not mate

-

i have a good mind to kill my self

i really just ought to kill my self

the blood i shed will wash away the shame

in death i will not live this life in vain

-

i want to kill my self

i need to kill my self

what does life mean when we all die

why not refuse another try

-

for all the magic i conjure

of my very own future am not sure

for all the promises made good

of smokeless flames will be my brotherhood

-

i know not love

i know not hate

i know not pain

i do not mate

-

i have a good mind to kill my self

i really just ought to kill my self

the blood i shed will wash away the shame

in death i will not live this life in vain

-

i want to kill my self

i need to kill my self

what does life mean when we all die

why not refuse another try

-

i am so alone

i have long conversations with my thoughts

i am so alone

i have no longing but all the time i bought

i am so alone

the world to me seems another world away

i am so alone

it makes no difference if i go or stay

i am so alone

i am so alone

-

i have a good mind to kill my self

i really just ought to kill my self

the blood i shed will wash away the shame

in death i will not live this life in vain

-

i want to kill my self

i need to kill my self

to kill my self

to kill my self
