• trans siberian orchestra'nın 2000 yılında çıkan beethovens last night albümünden beethoven rolündeki jody ashworth'un seslendirdiği parça... mephistopheles'in teklifi üzerine beethoven'ın ölümü kabul etmekle eserlerini sonsuza dek yok etmek arasında kaldığı ikilemi konu alır...
  
  in every life
  it has been said
  there comes a time to join the dead
  admit there is no second chance
  and join death in a final dance
  across the floor eternity
  until the final moments bled
  and in the dark to take his hand
  accept that it is time to wed
  i don't know what i'm thinking
  because all that i see
  is his face grinning
  mephistopheles
  i need to find an answer
  for this one can not be
  within the words of mephistophel...
  
  [towards twist]
  tell me what you think
  tell me what you know
  did you really think
  that there would be an ever after
  do you think i'm scared
  tell me does it show
  when inside this deafness
  i can always hear his whispering
  
  [towards ghosts]
  there comes a time you decide
  what from your life will be real
  what scars you will keep alive
  what you are willing to heal
  but can i gamble this night
  with everything that i am
  and can i erase my life
  or do i stay here and be damned
  
  [towards twist]
  tell me what you think
  tell me what you know
  did you really think
  that there would be an ever after
  do you think i'm scared
  tell me does it show
  when inside this deafness
  i can always hear his laughter
  i don't know what i'm thinking
  because all that i see
  is his face grinning
  mephistopheles
  i need to find an answer
  for this one can not be
  within the words of mephistopheles
  
  i:
  don't need this path before me
  don't need forgotten glory
  don't need these threats of violence
  don't need eternal silence
  don't need these midnight visions
  don't need to make decisions
  don't need to be uncertain
  don't need this final curtain
  
  ii:
  somewhere out there
  he still gazes
  as i wander through his mazes
  death and life here
  truth or lies
  every thought is well disguised
  
  iii:
  now
  it is too late
  this path to take
  don't want to lose my life this way
  medusa dreams
  the dead still scream
  don't want to see my life betrayed
  
  iv:
  all these things are now before me
  endless death or timeless glory
  on this night of ghosts returning
  to the light of bridges burning
  now it is too late
  this path to take
  don't want to see my life be...( trayed )
  
  [towards twist]
  tell me what you think
  tell me what you know
  did you really think
  that there would be an ever after
  do you think i'm scared
  tell me does it show
  when inside this deafness
  i can always hear his laughter
  i don't know what i'm thinking
  because all that i see
  is his face grinning
  mephistopheles
  i need to find an answer
  for this one cannot be
  within the words of mephistopheles
  the cost of patience
  when there's no time before me
  of hesitation
  all for this twisted glory
  and my salvation
  the cost of how it's gotten
  the cost of what's gained
  all forgotten
  all forgotten
