Prologue

Ahhh...

Te deum laudamus, omnis te deum

Dominus rex noster

Te deum laudamus, omnis te deum

Re terrea et filli

Tibi omnes angeli, laude!

Johann Faustus. You have been charged by the Holy Inquisition with blasphemy, apostasy, and rebellion before God's True and Holy Church. Are you prepared to confess your guilt?

Your Holiness, please, I - I... I have only written - I have only explained the objective nature of our universe. I - I - I have plotted the planets and stars in their courses and have found -... All I have ever stated... We are not the center of Creation!

And what do such theories intimate, Doctor Faustus?

I've told you all I've learned

And yet you still insist

My words that you have read

The words that I have said

Mean God does not exist

And do you admit that it was the Devil's hand which led you to spread such lies?

Who are you?

Who are you?

Who are you?

Who are you?

Who are you?

Yes. It was his hand

Now, my poor, lost child, will you at last turn from the darkness and repent?

Doctor, who are you today?

Yes, Father, I will repent

Johann Faustus: You are free. But to all who hear my voice, be it known that Johann Faustus is a convicted blasphemer!

Ahhh...

My books? Those are my books... my, my - my notes -my-

His writings, every page, every sentence shall be burned-

Burn them! Burn him! Liar!

No, your Grace? How can you- ...? Please, no-

They shall be burned until the skies turn black as testimony to the darkness of his lies!

No! No, please- please just leave me one! Just one!

Johann!

Ana! He's burning them! He's burning it all!

Te deum laudamus: omnis te deum

Tibi omnes angeli, laude!

Johann! Come away, my love!
