Mephistopheles in Hollywood

Spotlights melt the halos flowing down the cheeks of starlets.
Plastic idols swallow their sweet poison.
I stand by the hill with white letters — the shepherd of these blind puppets.
Offering eternity for one empty glance.


Sign on the glass.
Your soul is worth exactly one million views.
There is no pain. There is only editing.

Припев
Mephistopheles directs this nightmare!
A Hollywood deal — fake wings in exchange for sin!
We inhale your fates like smoke from cigars,
The industry of illusions will gladly devour you all!


Instead of horns — a crown of broken lenses.
Stigmata are now drawn by makeup artists in stuffy trailers.
I listen to your prayers through the filters of others' motives,
And hide my cold smirk in glossy magazines.

Припев
Mephistopheles directs this nightmare!
A Hollywood deal — fake wings in exchange for sin!
We inhale your fates like smoke from cigars,
The industry of illusions will gladly devour you all!


Fame! This is your new cross!
Climb onto it yourselves, smile right into the camera!
There are no more empty seats in my movie theater,
Here everyone is betrayed to their tiny scale.



Припев
Mephistopheles directs this nightmare!
A Hollywood deal — fake wings in exchange for sin!
We inhale your fates like smoke from cigars,
The industry of illusions will gladly devour you all!


The light goes out.
Only credits of the names of those who are no more.
It's a wrap.
