Faust Lyrics


[Music: Chris A., Lyrics: Sotiris V.]All my life I strived to gain insight to things that sacred 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 forbiddenI dreamed the devil was I
My quest complete
I dreamed the devil was I
I was awake
My quest complete
FaustCaptive from philosophies that root on hopes like rotten trees
I see the hanged men on their ropes
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 get
Riches, Power, Pleasure without endI dreamed the devil was I
My quest complete
I dreamed the devil was I
I was awake
My quest complete

Faust
I dreamed the devil was I
Faust

Charles Gounod (1818-1893) was a French composer, best known for his Ave Maria as well as his operas Faust and Roméo et Juliette. Gounod wrote his first opera, Sapho, in 1851, with the help of Pauline Viardot, but had no great theatrical success until Faust (1859), based on the play by Goethe. This remains his best-known work, and although it took a while to achieve great renown, it eventually became one of the most frequently staged operas of all time.
