Mephisto Waltz Lyrics

Waltz, the pagan master
Waltz, his evil shines
Waltz, to the Devil's depot
Waltz, it's gonna be so great

Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Go

Waltz, into the darkest feeling
Waltz, without a blink I go
Waltz, to the Devil's ballet
Waltz, to Mephisto

Waltz, the Devil's dance
Waltz, and in twilight gray
Waltz, darkness grows much faster
Waltz, it's gonna be so great

Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Go

Waltz, the pagan master
Waltz, his evil shines
Waltz, to the Devil's depot
Waltz, it's gonna be so great

Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Oh

Go, Go, Go, Go

Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Go

Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Come on

Waltz
Waltz
Waltz
Waltz

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This was a song that Glenn wrote that was never recorded while the band was together. According to Jerry, it was a song The Misfits only rehearsed twice together, as all the members of the band except Glenn did not like it. Glenn first mentioned it in the June 1986 "Thrasher" interview by Pushead, who misquoted the title as "The Crystal Waltz." In a later "Thrasher" issue, an article stated that Glenn had discovered a tape with this song on it. The version of this song that appears on the Collection II album and The Misfits Box Set was recorded by Glenn Danzig and Eerie Von in 1986, three years after The Misfits broke up. The title of this song may have come from the 1971 movie of the same name.

nice info pale didn't know about the crystal waltz thing...this is still a pretty good song..i like how if you listen closely you can hear Glenn say "come on" when eerie stops singing.. The Misfits sorta stayed away from the whole Devil..Mephisto..religion thing so i dont blame them for no playing this one...Sam Hain got deeper..then glenn got where he wanted and now with Danzig he's all about religion and what not.
