Montecristo Songtext
von Great Master

Here on the shore of this island alone
Over this stone, in the sea, years ago I was reborn
Montecristo, burning bridges behind
Montecristo, my hands stained with blood

Edmond died in the castle of If
Pure and innocent as when it all began
Montecristo is the flame of revenge
Montecristo shattered all till the end

Is more what I′ve got, or what I've lost?
And now

Look yourself in the mirror
Can you see the count?
He is your thirst for justice
When you sink down to hell
You will rise again
Like a demon as morning star did


Knowledge and culture, my sword and my shield
But no treasure I′ve found enough to dry all my tears
Montecristo, a thousand identities
Montecristo, only ashes for me

I was the jester who ran the show
But faith pulled my strings

Look yourself in the mirror
Can you see the count?
He is your thirst for justice
When you sink down to hell
You will rise again
Like a demon as morning star did

Dantès is dead, only the count remains
All have been swept into the spiral of his bloody revenge

Look yourself in the mirror
Can you see the count?
He is your thirst for justice
When you sink down to hell
You will rise again
Like a demon as morning star did


Look yourself in the mirror
Can you see the count?
He is your thirst for justice
When you sink down to hell
You will rise again
Like a demon as morning star did

If you have been on my side in this story
Then watch your steps carefully
Because the price of a blind justice
Is nothing but a storm and only ruins remain
