Mr. Faust

See...
Six thrice...
Mister Faust
Upon your head
All years you exchanged
For currency and wine
Divine you were but you chose
Leviathan to plant a rose...
Divine you were but you chose
For currency and wine
All years you exchanged
Upon your head
Mister Faust
Six thrice...
See...

Faust: (foust)-  a man in legend and literature who sells his soul to the devil for 
knowledge and power.
