“The adjective “Faustian” describes the insatiable striving for the unattainable, the impossible, for all knowledge and all power, for the infinite and perfect. The Faustian human will bow to no tyrant God. He will worship no God. He will never be a slave, servant or serf. He will have no lord and no master. Religious people regard Faust as having “sold his soul to the Devil”. In fact, Faust liberated his soul from the Devil (the Abrahamic God) so that he himself could become a God.”

“Don't Let The Devil Hear You Weeping by Stewart Stafford

Don't let the Devil hear you weeping,
Or darkness comes as your friend,
Saying God sent it to save you,
And be with you until the end.

Tail wrapped around you snugly,
Gripped firmly in meaty claws,
Only then get its beastly odour,
Against which there should be laws.

Dancing the inferno's fiery rim,
Spitting bile in your begging bowl,
Paper cut, a blood pact union,
To steal away your purest soul.
