[ETHEREAL VOICE]
Ahhh...

[ENSEMBLE]
Te deum laudamus, omnis te deum
Dominus rex noster

Te deum laudamus, omnis te deum
Re terrea et filli
Tibi omnes angeli, laude!

[ARCHBISHOP PETER, spoken]
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?

[JOHANN, spoken]
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!

[ARCHBISHOP PETER]
And what do such theories intimate, Doctor Faustus?

[JOHANN, sung]
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
[ARCHBISHOP PETER, spoken]
And do you admit that it was the Devil's hand which led you to spread such lies?

[ENSEMBLE, chanted]
Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you?

[JOHANN, sung]
Yes. It was his hand

[ARCHBISHOP PETER, spoken]
Now, my poor, lost child, will you at last turn from the darkness and repent?

[GRETCHEN, sung]
Doctor, who are you today?

[JOHANN, spoken]
Yes, Father, I will repent

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

[ETHEREAL VOICE, sung]
Ahhh...
[JOHANN, spoken]
My books? Those are my books... my, my - my notes -my-

[ARCHBISHOP PETER, spoken]
His writings, every page, every sentence shall be burned-

[CROWD, spoken]
Burn them! Burn him! Liar!

[JOHANN, spoken]
No, your Grace? How can you- ...? Please, no-

[ARCHBISHOP PETER, spoken]
They shall be burned until the skies turn black as testimony to the darkness of his lies!

[JOHANN, spoken]
No! No, please- please just leave me one! Just one!

[ANA, spoken]
Johann!

[JOHANN, spoken]
Ana! He's burning them! He's burning it all!

[ENSEMBLE, sung]
Te deum laudamus: omnis te deum
Tibi omnes angeli, laude!
[ANA, spoken]
Johann! Come away, my love!
