作词 : Oliva/Paul O'Neill 作曲 : Oliva/Paul O'Neill (MEPHISTOPHELES) All of your life now You have denied There'd be a time When you'd ever die Still it's been rumored this thing must be Why is it then that you act surprised When I appear now to be your guide Why do you hesitate to follow me See it rising Stare and wonder Hear it beckon You to dance Feel it hold you Take you under I'm your god of second chance And now you claim you are not prepared So much to do you can not be spared Still your entreaties death will not hear The graveyard is filled with important men Who could not be spared but were in the end And so i whisper now in your ear See it rising Stare and wonder Hear it beckon You to dance Feel it hold you Take you under I'm your god of second chance DOMINE DOMINE DOMINE DOMINE O DOMINE O DOMINE O DOMINE O DOMINE (The Devil then makes the composer an offer. If Beethoven will give him all his music, allowing Mephistopheles to wipe it from the memory of man, he will return his soul to him. Beethoven is overwhelmed by the situation. Fearing an eternity of damnation and torment he is desperate to reclaim his soul, but the thought of losing his music, his life's work, causes him to hesitate.) (Mephistopheles, sensing his confusion, offers to leave for one hour before returning for Beethoven's answer. As the devil is turning to go, Beethoven notices that the hands of the clock are now turning faster than is normal. When he points this out to Mephistopheles, the devil replies that the maestro should consider it a final favor because where Beethoven is going, they never turn at all.) (As the spirits cautiously re-emerge from the corners of the room, Beethoven agonizes over his decision.)
