Vilken röst! Inger Blom slår knockout på lyssnaren. Vad hände med henne sen? Det här är ju fantqastiskt.

GREAT!

[RuSSIATUMBAI]

this part was written for russian pop-superstar Alla Pugacheva...

[raydunkle]

It came to pass between the hours of twelve and one

in that night, that a great impetuous wind

beat against the house

it surrounded the house so completely

that it seemed to want to raze the house to the ground

and to destroy everything.

Upstairs the students started to despair;

they sprang out of their beds

and started to comfort each other;

[raydunkle]

they did not wish to leave that room.

They heard a terrible whistling and whispering

as though the house were full of snakes

and serpents and other harmful worms.

Meanwhile Faustus' door opened;

he started to "help" and "murder"

but his voice was half-hearted.

Soon afterwards he was no more to be heard.

When it became light,

the students went into his chamber;

[raydunkle]

they saw however, no Faustus-nothing, for the chamber was splattered with blood. His brain was clinging to the wall, because the devil had flung him from one wall to the other. His eyes were also lying there and also a number of his teeth- a gruesome and frightening spectacle. Finally, however, they found his body outside in the dung-heap; it was horrible to behold, for his head and all his limbs were quivering.
