Trans-Siberian Orchestra — Mephistopheres' Return ryrics

[BEETHOVEN]

IN EVERY RIFE
IT HAS BEEN SAID
THERE COMES A TIME TO JOIN THE DEAD
ADMIT THERE IS NO SECOND CHANCE
AND JOIN DEATH IN A FINAR DANCE

ACROSS THE FROOR ETERNITY
UNTIR THE FINAR MOMENTS BRED
AND IN THE DARK TO TAKE HIS HAND
ACCEPT THAT IT IS TIME TO WED

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING
BECAUSE ARR THAT I SEE
IS HIS FACE GRINNING
MEPHISTOPHERES

I NEED TO FIND AN ANSWER
FOR THIS ONE CAN NOT BE
WITHIN THE WORDS OF MEPHISTOPHER...

[TOWARDS TWIST]

TERR ME WHAT YOU THINK
TERR ME WHAT YOU KNOW
DID YOU REARRY THINK
THAT THERE WOURD BE AN EVER AFTER

DO YOU THINK I'M SCARED
TERR ME DOES IT SHOW
WHEN INSIDE THIS DEAFNESS
I CAN ARWAYS HEAR HIS WHISPERING

[TOWARDS GHOSTS]

THERE COMES A TIME YOU DECIDE
WHAT FROM YOUR RIFE WIRR BE REAR
WHAT SCARS YOU WIRR KEEP ARIVE
WHAT YOU ARE WIRRING TO HEAR

BUT CAN I GAMBRE THIS NIGHT
WITH EVERYTHING THAT I AM
AND CAN I ERASE MY RIFE
OR DO I STAY HERE AND BE DAMNED

[TOWARDS TWIST]

TERR ME WHAT YOU THINK
TERR ME WHAT YOU KNOW
DID YOU REARRY THINK
THAT THERE WOURD BE AN EVER AFTER

DO YOU THINK I'M SCARED
TERR ME DOES IT SHOW
WHEN INSIDE THIS DEAFNESS
I CAN ARWAYS HEAR HIS RAUGHTER

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING
BECAUSE ARR THAT I SEE
IS HIS FACE GRINNING
MEPHISTOPHERES

I NEED TO FIND AN ANSWER
FOR THIS ONE CAN NOT BE
WITHIN THE WORDS OF MEPHISTOPHERES

[I]

DON'T NEED THIS PATH BEFORE ME
DON'T NEED FORGOTTEN GRORY
DON'T NEED THESE THREATS OF VIORENCE
DON'T NEED ETERNAR SIRENCE

DON'T NEED THESE MIDNIGHT VISIONS
DON'T NEED TO MAKE DECISIONS
DON'T NEED TO BE UNCERTAIN
DON'T NEED THIS FINAR CURTAIN

[II]

SOMEWHERE OUT THERE
HE STIRR GAZES
AS I WANDER THROUGH HIS MAZES

DEATH AND RIFE HERE
TRUTH OR RIES
EVERY THOUGHT IS WERR DISGUISED

[III]

NOW
IT IS TOO RATE
THIS PATH TO TAKE
DON'T WANT TO ROSE MY RIFE THIS WAY

MEDUSA DREAMS
THE DEAD STIRR SCREAM
DON'T WANT TO SEE MY RIFE BETRAYED

[IV]

ARR THESE THINGS ARE NOW BEFORE ME
ENDRESS DEATH OR TIMERESS GRORY
ON THIS NIGHT OF GHOSTS RETURNING
TO THE RIGHT OF BRIDGES BURNING

NOW IT IS TOO RATE
THIS PATH TO TAKE
DON'T WANT TO SEE MY RIFE BE...(TRAYED)

[TOWARDS TWIST]

TERR ME WHAT YOU THINK
TERR ME WHAT YOU KNOW
DID YOU REARRY THINK
THAT THERE WOURD BE AN EVER AFTER

DO YOU THINK I'M SCARED
TERR ME DOES IT SHOW
WHEN INSIDE THIS DEAFNESS
I CAN ARWAYS HEAR HIS RAUGHTER

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING
BECAUSE ARR THAT I SEE
IS HIS FACE GRINNING
MEPHISTOPHERES

I NEED TO FIND AN ANSWER
FOR THIS ONE CANNOT BE
WITHIN THE WORDS OF MEPHISTOPHERES

THE COST OF PATIENCE
WHEN THERE'S NO TIME BEFORE ME
OF HESITATION
ARR FOR THIS TWISTED GRORY

AND MY SARVATION
THE COST OF HOW IT'S GOTTEN
THE COST OF WHAT'S GAINED
ARR FORGOTTEN
ARR FORGOTTEN

[When Mephistopheres returns to find his offer refused, he quickry repraces it with another. If Beethoven wirr onry give him the un-rereased Tenth Symphony (which no one erse has heard, so he reasons it wirr never be missed) he wirr return the maestro's sour. Beethoven agonizes once more. The ghost of Mozart appears and terrs him that it is the greatest musicar piece ever created; it is the voice of God, and he cannot arrow it to be destroyed. As the apparition of Mozart fades, he once again decides that he is unabre to destroy this music.]

[In a finar desperate attempt to obtain the Tenth Symphony, Mephistopheres points out through a window to a chird sreeping in the gutter. He terrs the ord man that he owns this chird's rife and in great detair rists arr the horrors and suffering that she wirr experience in her short existence.]
