Lyric discussion by Artus 

the lyrics represent a conversation between Satan (Mephisto) and a human being, with the devil trying to tempt the person to sell his soul to him

@Artus it might have been 16 years since you made this comment but I wanted you to know in the event you ever see it again that I was so happy that somebody else understood with this song was about. My old lead singer was obsessed with this song and he thought it was about a girl and I tried to tell him it was about the devil rather the agent of the devil warning a man not to sell his soul for ambition.
