Now I see his face, I see his smile.

Such a lonely place, no golden mile.

Eyes tell of morbid tales, of his black heart.

His deeds through ages past tell of his part.

*

See his face, see his smile.

Time to die, o-oh, no-oh, no-oh.

*

Angel from below, change my dreams.

I want for glory's hour, for wealth's esteem.

I wish to sell my soul, to be reborn.

I wish for earthly riches, don't want no crown of thorns.

*

See his face, see his smile.

Time to die, o-oh, o-oh, no-oh.

*

I was born a fool, don't want to stay that way.

Devil take my soul, with diamonds you repay.

I don't care for heaven, so don't you look for me to cry.

And I will burn in hell, from the day I die.

*

See his face, see his smile.

Time to die, o-oh, no-oh, no.
