Once upon a time I knew a better life
I was strong, I knew no hurt or strife
But one day all that changed
My world was turned to black
I can never turn back
First the kingdom fell down to hell
Isn't that nice? Isn't it swell?
The royal blood can no longer quell
The flames of war, go back to before
Oh my lord, how can we dispel
The despair we can't repel
The royal blood is no more
And alone imploring, go back to before!
"We will keep thee alive, oh divinity
It's sacrilegious to ever hurt thee
Because we can't see the disparity
Between God and thee"
I would give anything
Just to return straight to the past, ah!
I'll give my heart, my soul
All just to go back
Oh god, this must be payback
For something I have done
Take me back!
"I can help with that!
Hello, my dear, the name is Mephistopheles
See here, now if you would please sign
There, there, and there
On this here contract!
I know it's unfair, the hand that you were dealt...
Do we, do we have a deal?
Together we'll turn back the wheel
Alright, now the contract's sealed
I won't leave you alone!
At the mercy of a devil
I'll make all of your wishes real!
Alright, now the contract's sealed
I won't leave you alone!"
I would give anything
Just to return straight to the past, ah!
I'll give my heart, my soul
All just to go back
Oh god, this must be payback
For something I have done
Take me back!
