Mephistopheles' Return Lyrics - Beethoven's Last Night - Trans Siberian Orchestra

(Beethoven) 

In every life 

It has been said 

There comes a time to join the dead 

Admit there is no second chance 

And join death in a final dance 

Across the floor eternity 

Until the final moments bled 

And in the dark to take his hand 

Accept that it is time to wed 

I don't know what I'm thinking 

Because all that I see 

Is his face grinning 

Mephistopheles 

I need to find an answer 

For this one can not be 

Within the words of Mephistophel...

(Towards Twist) 

Tell me what you think 

Tell me what you know 

Did you really think 

That there would be an ever after 

Do you think I'm scared 

Tell me does it show 

When inside this deafness 

I can always hear his whispering 

(Towards Ghosts) 

There comes a time you decide 

What from your life will be real 

What scars you will keep alive 

What you are willing to heal 

But can I gamble this night 

With everything that I am 

And can I erase my life 

Or do I stay here and be (damned)

(Towards Twist) 

Tell me what you think 

Tell me what you know 

Did you really think 

That there would be an ever after 

Do you think I'm scared 

Tell me does it show 

When inside this deafness 

I can always hear his laughter 

I don't know what I'm thinking 

Because all that I see 

Is his face grinning 

Mephistopheles 

I need to find an answer 

For this one can not be 

Within the words of Mephistopheles 

(I) 

Don't need this path before me 

Don't need forgotten glory 

Don't need these threats of violence 

Don't need eternal silence 

Don't need these midnight visions 

Don't need to make decisions 

Don't need to be uncertain 

Don't need this final curtain 

(II) 

Somewhere out there 

He still gazes 

As I wander through his mazes 

Death and life here 

Truth or lies 

Every thought is well disguised 

(III) 

Now 

It is too late 

This path to take 

Don't want to lose my life 

This way 

Medusa dreams 

The dead still scream 

Don't want to see my life 

Betrayed... 

(IV) 

All these things are now before me 

Endless death or timeless glory 

On this night of ghosts returning 

To the light of bridges burning 

All these things are now before me 

Endless death or timeless glory 

On this night of ghosts returning 

To the light of bridges burning 

(I) 

Now it is too late 

This path to take 

Don't want to see my life be... (trayed) 

(Towards Twist) 

Tell me what you think 

Tell me what you know 

Did you really think 

That there would be an ever after 

Do you think I'm scared 

Tell me does it show 

When inside this deafness 

I can always hear his laughter 

I don't know what I'm thinking 

Because all that I see 

Is his face grinning 

Mephistopheles 

I need to find an answer 

For this one cannot be 

Within the words of Mephistopheles 

The cost of patience 

When there's no time before me 

Of hesitation 

All for this twisted glory 

And my salvation 

The cost of how it's gotten 

The cost of what's gained 

All forgotten 

All forgotten...
