Hell has claimed Heaven, Maria, as promised
This humble servant serves you at his calmest
Still forgive me, Maria, for my heart feels dishonest
I\'ve felt the lust of men, tis nothing but immodest.
I\'ve felt in the sun caught in her raven hair
In the oil of her skin whirlwinded around the air
I\'ve fallen in a pit of madness and despair
The witch has cast her spell on me, spair me in your prayers.
It\'s not my fault, it\'s been God\'s plan
To make the devil so much stronger than a man
Yet, give her to me, make her reach for my hand
I\'ll crush her, embrace her, show your love\'s much more grand.
Destroy the Gipsy\'s curse, or let her be mine and mine alone
Else she\'ll be gulped by Paris\' flames, from skin down to bone
Choose me or hell\'s fire, be mine or you will burn
Into inferno\'s blaze or here beside me, where your hair once had flown.
