Faustus - Årabrot

I wager, back!

hold!

Why do you scourge me and my soul?

The world is yours

I love her, I love her not

Go to the crossroads and call for me thrice

I wager, seize my soul and the world is yours

The world is yours

I love her, love her not

I claim my wager, I love her not

One word to remember, to remember the pact

I claim my wager

I love her, I love her not

Just one word to break the pact

One word say the word just tell me the word

I claim my wager

I love her, I love her not

Hear me call out from the funeral pyre

I wager, back!

hold!

Why do you scourge me, seize my soul?

You wrest what is divine in me

I love her, I love her not

The golden receptacle, the pernicious drug

I claim my wager, it’s in my hand

Why am I accursed?

I love her, I love her not

Hear me call out from the funeral pyre

I will remember to not say the word
