I think this is correct; as Mephistopheles introduces himself to Faust:

Ich bin ein Teil des Teils, der anfangs alles war
Ein Teil der Finsternis, die sich das Licht gebar
Das stolze Licht, das nun der Mutter Nacht
Den alten Rang, den Raum ihr streitig macht…

I am part of the part that was first of all,
Part of the Dark that gave birth to Light,
That proud Light, that now disputes with Mother Night
Her ancient rank and realm…

[Loosely translated by myself...]

Let’s just pray this Dark has given birth to Light…
