Yeah

Between all the dirt and scum back then in Berlin
There was this boy
It was his vision and not a daydream, he wanted to earn it
And for good reason
His mother was a single parent, his brother much smaller than him
And that's exactly why these bills had to come now
But his label didn't want to pay him anymore
So he had no choice
He asked desperately for assistance on the street
It became a race, the boy became lonely
The shadows grew larger and glimmers of hope rare
The room became cold when Mephisto saw him
He could clear it for him, he gave him his word
"Think about your future, you want to get away from this place
Go on a journey, don't look back
Don't listen to others anymore, don't ask why anymore
You can have whatever you want, just give me the orders
I don't want much from you, just your soul in the end"
The boy thought about it, too little spoke against it
Today he knows, back then the devil entered his life
The tears were forgotten, he felt safe
Suddenly he didn't have to worry about the future anymore
The new sound Electro, the boy from the ghetto
He became a businessman, gross became net
There was chaos in Germany, he made himself an enemy of the state
The role of his life - Joker, Dark Knight
Everyone wanted to be close to him, the words turned to gold
Blood, sweat and tears, the avalanche started rolling
The soul was sold, the boy ascended his throne
An idol for many, but his freedom an illusion
Mephisto had plans, the king of the hyenas
The snake, the apple in the Garden of Eden
The curve went up, the words turned platinum
There were no qualms, whoever made a fuss, hit him
The spirits he called, they demanded tribute
In the heads these voices, on the hands this blood
The nights got longer, no stars in the sky
No matter where he goes, scorched earth everywhere
Everything calculated, because in the end it was no luck
It went from the skyline back to the curb
The year 2007, my poster on Ku'damm
The whole country now understood, the boy was on the start
Records fell and suddenly the sky was his limit
A life without limit, until the guy comes with the scythe
As they say, "Pride usually comes before the fall"
And somehow it was karma suddenly everywhere
These things that happened, his mother got sick
The prizes were forgotten, no joy, only fear
Mephisto found it convenient, because distress makes one vulnerable
He did his best, "Listen, my boy, come and sit down
You can trust me, I love you like a father loves his son
Together we will now make millions"
He heard what he said, and killed the doubts
Facing the devil, the angel was too quiet
With each day he lost himself a little more
Because nothing was like before, his heart was poisoned
Numb and without regard, desperate in search
Not easy to distinguish, the evil from the good
He sacrificed almost everything for the fast life, ASAP
Chainsaw massacre, heavy metal payback
Believe me, times change and suddenly so does Mephisto
The limelight was tempting and slowly he became schizo
He wanted a stage, his grimace on the canvas
Took the reins, accepted no objection
A devil and dictator, always polite on the outside
His thousands of faces were impossible to see through
A master of intrigue, his tongue split
The key to success was always just the boy
And for many years it went on, the wheels kept turning
Until the first of February, the boy met a girl
She would change a lot and somehow it happened
That she stayed by his side, finally something true
Between all the lies and sinister figures
The boy became a father and nothing stayed the same
Mephisto sowed discord and pulled all the strings
Suddenly he was lawyer, plaintiff and judge
It broke one's heart, the boy was hit by fate
When his mother died, only mourning faces left
He fled from the family, it was Mephisto's hour
And everything he loved slowly went to the dogs
He started to argue, in the end for nothing
He put the girl into sheer panic
She didn't recognize him anymore, what had he become?
The last bit of hope between them had died
She fell to her knees, too much burden on her shoulders
She cried, because she knew exactly who was to blame
But no one listened when she warned and pleaded
An angel without wings sang clear prayers
Mephisto, the devil, a liar without equal
For the soul of this boy he went over corpses again
The marriage was in shambles, he had what he wanted
And wouldn't let him go like a wolf its prey
And so it happened that the shadow took a bit more possession of him
There were many rooms, but no one turned on the light
No matter what he tried, he sank into depression
His constant companions were ghosts and demons
He denied himself life, continuing was not possible
The question that tormented him, why was he so foolish?
He missed his children, his girl, his mom
On the phone the boy found out, she was pregnant again
He had to win her back and knew what to do
The only one who didn't want that was his false brother
Mephisto became angry when he found out
He wanted to prevent it, no trace of conscience
The weapons he used were terribly selfish
Maintaining the facade was no longer important from now on
He let it come to that and blew up his chains
He raised his voice now to save the family
For the first time in years, the girl really got
The due respect, because true love does not die
The scars were deep, but the enemy was now the same
Together through the rain, the storm and the cold
They were full of confidence, brave and determined
He made her a promise and it was not broken
And then Mephisto lost the horror of old days
Claws of a rat, black wings like a raven
His mask fell, so his true form was seen
He was a monster of fire, but his breath was cold
It was about life and death, the boy went into battle
The devil's plans all stamped into the ground

Fifteen years later, the boy almost forty
Almost all his dreams realized by now
He has five children, he has many bills
Six years of marriage, married for love
Thirteen solo albums, the gold is in the cellar
Talent still brings the bread to the table
Life could be so beautiful, the paths carefree
If only Mephisto didn't still have his soul
Locked and sunk, lost in the depths of the ocean
He would even pay with death
Because he is not afraid, just because his opponent never lay on the ground before
Just like then, David against Goliath
The voices of the angels, they sing in chorus
Their souls, they ascended to heaven
And tell stories of the devil on site
How a boy out of recklessness almost lost everything
Because there were times when he followed Mephisto blindly
Heard the lies over and over like the whispering in the wind
Became just like him, gave up resistance
Now he has to straighten a lot of things out, because no one believes him anymore
So many people humiliated, behaved unfairly
On the path of their success lie hundreds of corpses
They wrote and searched for the mistakes they made
Impossible to view things from a distance
But today the boy has the necessary distance
The picture in its entirety unvarnished and without gloss
And today Mephisto sees, fate takes its course
He can't change anything about it either, no fire without smoke
He raged and in the end left rubble and ashes
He gave the boy more than one reason to hate him
Subjected him to his will, constant control
That he choked on it, doesn't matter in the end
Abhorrent all the things he willingly accepted
Lived off the people who truly looked up to him
A deceiver, who let money go to his head
Who has so much, but is never satisfied
Who never sleeps, the price for his sin
Forever he shall wander through valleys full of sulfur
Together with his kind, so that they never return home
Never again will he imprison this boy
The end of a reign, self-proclaimed king
The world will forget him, not extraordinary, just ordinary
Who is left to him? His armies are fleeing
Kind, merciful, he himself never was
Fear was his hammer, cunning was his chisel
His sick mind was incomprehensible
Unbelievable how malicious, look at his work
Hundreds of souls, down there in dungeons, yeah
Everyone knows, the devil has his own motive
The suffering he inflicts on people is his profit
The boy should have kept his fingers off it
But instead he filled Mephisto's pockets
He has paid enough, didn't owe anyone anything
No matter how much it hurt, the boy remained patient
From now on no more compromises
Dissing without naming names, believe me, they know who
Took this boy's soul out of greed
He must accept, never again us
These lines come from the heart addressed to Mephisto
He was never a true friend, just a ruthless beast
Vultures circle in the sky, an era comes to an end
So the boy became a living legend
He gathered his courage and faced his fears
No masquerade, because the truth lasts the longest
He cleared the table, once and for all
His heart knows, you can't pay with the soul
So he takes it back, the deal is hereby void
So that at the end of this tunnel there is finally light again
And lo and behold, life was full of colors again
So many new paths that now opened up to him
He doesn't look back, the chapter is history
From which his grandchildren will someday tell
They will tell of him, "He was a good boy
With anger in his lungs and his heart on his tongue
The mistakes he made are deeply rooted in him
He is grateful for every day with the family"
Because things happen, most people doubt
Understandable that many of them are not ready for the truth
The devil's greatest trick, aside from his plans
Was to make mankind believe that he does not exist (exist)
