Prologue

Lyrics
Te Deum laudamus
Omnes fidei
Dominus Rex noster
Te Deum laudamus
Omnes fidei
Rex caeli et terrae
Tibi omnes angeli laude

Johann Faustus, you have been charged by the Holy Inquisition with
Blasphemy, apostasy and rebellion before God's true and Holy Church
Are you prepared to confess your guilt?

Your Holiness, please, I-I have only written, I have
Only explained the objective nature of our universe
I-I have plotted the planets and stars
In their courses and I have found
A-All I have ever stated, we are not the center of creation

And what do such theories intimate, Doctor Faustus?

I've told you all I've learned
And yet you still insist
My words that you have read
The words that I have said
Mean God does not exist

And do you admit that it was the Devil's
Hand which led you to spread such lies?

Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Who are you?

Yes, it was his hand

Now, my poor lost child, will you at
Last turn from the darkness and repent?

Doctor, who are you today?

Yes, Father, I will repent

Johann Faustus, you are free
But to all who hear my voice, be it known
That Johann Faustus is a convicted blasphemer

Aaaaaah!

My books, those are m-my books, m-my notes!

His writings, every page, every sentence shall be burned

No, you guys, how can you, please, no!

They shall be burned until the skies turn black
As testimony to the darkness of his lies!

Johann!

No, no, please, please just make me one, just one!

Te Deum laudamus
Omnes fidei
Dominus Rex noster
Te Deum laudamus
Omnes fidei
Rex caeli et terrae
Tibi omnes angeli laude
