I was inspired to write this song after reading about a German guy called Faust who was reputed to have made a deal with the devil in exchange for knowledge and power. The story made me wonder if there are others out there today in secret with the same deal.
Vocal by Nachum Peterseil
Orchestration by Itai Simon

The wind is blowing strongly and it's pulling at my hair
A 'thing' has appeared in front of me and I can only stare
"What manner of beast is this"? I ask myself aloud
"To be able to materialize in a swirling brimstone cloud"?
The wind is blowing stronger and the 'thing' is coming near
As I gaze upon it's face, I realise my worst fear
The 'thing' has come to collect a debt that I owed it years ago
A promise is a promise - but I really don't want to go!
The 'thing' is now upon me and holding out it's hand.
For many years I prospered in this mortal land.
But now the time has come around and I've always understood.
There's no escaping mortality and hiding will do no good!
I don't want to go!
