Devil Take The Hindmost
I'm not afraid of him
No, it can't be
Not afraid of me, you say?
Stay back, or I'll kill you, I promise you
Insolent boy
You think you own more of her soul than I do?
She is my wife
Your music may speak to her
But her heart will always follow me
You think so? You really think so?
Follow you
With all your charms?
Look at you, deep in debt
Stinking drunk, pitiful
Shall we two make a bet?
Devil take the hindmost
Look at you, foul as sin
Hideous, horrible
Call the stakes, deal me in
Devil take the hindmost
Our Christine shall choose tonight (let her choose)
Is she yours or mine? (Draw the line)
If she sings, you lose tonight (I won't lose)
You leave from here (fine)
Disappear (fine)
And if she won't, if I win
All your debts, wiped away
Very well, let's begin
Devil take the hindmost
Our old game (you think you have the odds)
It's been changed (you think you're in control)
Every throw (you think you've fixed the dice)
Riskier (well, I will gladly roll)
All the rules (I'll bet against the house)
Rearranged (I'll even double down)
Fate has redesigned most (fortune's on my side)
Cut the deck (I won her long ago)
Let us play (I won her from you then)
You and I (I'll win her even now)
Once again (I'll win her back again)
In the end (and when the game is done)
Either way
Devil take the hindmost
Now Christine shall choose, at last
Is she yours or mine?
We've a son, our bond's secure
Are you sure?
What?
Are you so sure?
What do you mean?
Such a child, strange to see
Talented, musical
Is he more you or me?
Which one do you find most?
You lie!
Yet you doubt (no women could)
Doubt your wife (or ever would)
Doubt your son (love such a man)
Everything (you're insane)
Now we play (so now I play)
For your life (for my life)
Devil take the hindmost
Deal the cards (I call your bluff)
Let them fall (the game is on)
Choose your hand (and we will see)
Try your best (who wins out)
He who wins (once and for all)
Wins it all
Devil take the hindmost
She walks, you leave together
Pockets full, debts paid
She sings
You leave alone
Devil take the hindmost
Dear God, what have I done?
I could lose her forever
My Christine!
No, it can't be
Not afraid of me, you say?
Stay back, or I'll kill you, I promise you
Insolent boy
You think you own more of her soul than I do?
She is my wife
