Frankenstein:

Thrilling!
Awesome!
Spectacular!

Witness God in his heaven and play

Chilling!
Dazzling!
Sensational!

A most singular magnificent display!

An electrifying tapestry,
if it could only be controlled.
The sheer strength and the majesty...
Think of the power we could hold!

I want the world to see
Where my research has led.
Electricity's the key
To reanimate the dead!

I could rid the world of sickness
man would live in perfect health!
And only violence would cut short
this gift worth more than wealth

No consumption!
No cancer!
No lepers, cripples, gout.
In my hands I'll hold the answer
to what life is all about!

At Ingolstadt I'll have the means
to walk where few have trod!
I'll discover the secrets between
the alchemists and God!

(voice-over journal entries about the experiment run together)

Prometheus dared to steal fire from gods
to lift mankind from sorrow.
And just as the myth,
my mission is this:
To write a new tomorrow!

My endless days of study and toil
are finally near fruition.
The world will be forever changed
by history's physician(?)

The purest plasma!
Coursing freely,
Through artery and vein!
The finest tissue,
the perfect body,
Muscle, bone, and brain!

This storm will peak,
and the heavens part,
to fire my preparations.
The needed shock to start this heart
giving birth to my creation!

And now it's come,
the moment is right,
to awaken my creation!
I'll show the world,
this very night,
the way to man's salvation!

Elizabeth:

So long ago,
So far away,
Once upon a time.

There lived a young girl,
aloft in a tower,
who cowered behind the gates of her heart.
Her dragons and demons
kept her in prison

So long ago,
So far away,
Once upon a time.

She wept every night,
alone and lonely,
only lamenting her sorrowful fate.
She longed for a dream
that belonged to her only
Once upon a time.

And word of her plight
soon spread far and wide
and suitors would ride in
from faraway lands.
Never one able to suffer fools gladly
madly she'd suffer at all these fools hands

Sadly she tried
to be brave and be strong
And without any warning
A young prince came along.

The fire he possessed,
he unchained her spirit.
When she would hear it,
his laughter brought love.
Suddenly, then, as if borne on his magic
she soared from the tower above.

He swept her away
to his palace of wonder
and soon laid asunder
her demons so neatly.
For she was his muse
and he'd never refuse
and he'd win o'er her heart
for he loved her completely.

then the cruel world
with its storms and its quaking
set forth to taking
her prince by the hand.
And led him away
so the maiden would see
the prince was magic,
he was merely a man.

The seasons must change,
and laughter fell silent,
and time takes its toll
on lovers and friends.
And even fairy tales must have an end.
So long ago,
So far away,
back to the dream in her mind.

No more alone,
yet again lonely,
Once upon a time.

Frankenstein:

Behold a woman waiting to be born.
A Venus sculpted from the flesh.
I control her very breath,
I can take her from this death
to something you, alive, and fresh!

I have the power to control
the miracle of creation.
I, a man, will now give birth,
which makes me god upon this earth!
So why this trepidation?

No, I've gone too far to turn back now.
There's nothing left i need decide.
I am the modern Prometheus
and ready to create this bride!

Henry:

What do you mean, ¡°create a bride?¡±
Is this the science you conceived?
You vowed this life behind!
A vow I foolishly believed!

Frankenstein:

Henry, I invited you once
to join me in discovery.
I'm giving you yet another chance.

I've gone too far to turn back now!
And soon you'll see I'm justified!
I am the modern Prometheus,
Ready to create this bride!

Henry:

You mustn't try to act like God!
Prometheus was merely myth!
And if you toy with nature's course
your fate will be the same as his!

Frankenstein:

I cannot believe what I am hearing!
I'm shocked by your retort!
Henry, dear, you disappoint.
Sorry, friend, you miss my point!
Your vision falls severely short.

I'll change the course of history!
Please see beyond your petty fears.
I was once a dreamer,
now I'm man's redeemer!
We're on the verge of new frontiers!

She's going to be perfect!

The Creature:

It's gone too far to turn back now!

Henry:

Can't you see what you've become?

Frankenstein:

A god is here on earth!

The Creature:

My wishes shall not be denied!

Henry:

This science is insanity!

Frankenstein and Creature:

Behold the modern Prometheus!

Henry:

You cannot save man (something)

Frankenstein:

(something)
I'm sorry Henry, but this is my destiny!

Henry:

And this is mine:
to save you from yourself!

[Thanks to Dustin bell for lyrics]

The Creature:

What have you done?
You've murdered her!

Frankenstein:

You are the murderer!

The Creature:

Liar!
You promised to me!

Frankenstein:

I was a fool to have

The Creature:

What of your destiny?

Frankenstein:

You are the children of Hell!

The Creature:

Your children as well!

Frankenstein:

You're a fiend!

The Creature:

Of your hand!

Frankenstein:

A mistake!

The Creature:

That YOU made!

Frankenstein:

You must die!

The Creature:

And I shall,
but not before a price is paid!

(Blessed Day Chours echoes in background)

...Your bride awaits you.

[Thanks to Dustin bell for lyrics]

Elizabeth:

This brilliant mind, these gentle hands,
can build a life by parts.
and yet you still don't understand
the workings of the heart.

Frankenstein:

I tried to make a world for you
where death would never touch our lives.
Have I been a brilliant fool,
Seeing only with his eyes?

Elizabeth:

You couldn't know the consequence
of all your noble arts.
But can't you see,
they pale against,
the workings of the heart.

Frankenstein:

You should have left me years ago.
You should have trusted me much less.
Why did you choose to love me so?
Through your pain and emptiness?

Elizabeth:

I stayed because I love you
and everything you are.
My heart has always followed
it's only guiding star.

Frankenstein:

How can I live without your simple smile?
How will I love without your touch?
While I was chasing dreams I thought worthwhile,
my dream was you.
I never knew that I loved you this much!

Elizabeth:

I'd always knew you'd say these words to me.
I saw the love within you from the start.
Don't blame yourself for what you cannot be
And promise me
You'll learn to see
The workings of the heart!

No life can last forever!

Frankenstein:

I tried to make a world for you!

Elizabeth:

No man has (something)

Frankenstein:

Where death would never make us part!

Elizabeth:

A dream will perish never!

Frankenstein:

But I am just a brilliant fool...

Elizabeth:

A fool cannot know love

Both:

Without the workings of the heart!

Elizabeth:

And my heart will never leave you

Frankenstein:

I know my love will make you stronger!

Elizabeth:

How I so want to be with you

Frankenstein:

Stay at my side a little longer!

Both:

Through darkest nights and lost days,
our hearts will love for always.
That's something even death cannot undo!

Frankenstein:

I tried to make a world for you
Where death would be no more.
And now this love I never knew
has given so much more.

So rest your head,
and close your eyes.
Let your pain and tears depart.
I will keep you safe inside
The working of my heart!

Frankenstein:

I have searched across the years
for a glimpse beyond the tears.
Not caring once for those I left behind.

Having strayed so far from home
I deserve to stand alone
While I chase the secrets of the night
I never saw the beauty in the light!

The sun that never rose
the dawn that never came!
My morning has deserted me
with no one left but me to blame!

None are blind as those who will not see
And now the light is here
and everything is clear,
but now I fear the coming of the dawn
has come too late for me.

In the theatre of my mind,
though the shadows intertwine
it seemed my every step was strong and true
and I acted just for me
on my stage of fantasy
for no one fears the morning's gentle beams
except the fool who lives inside his dreams!

The sun that never rose
the dawn that never came
my morning has deserted me
to bear the darkness of my shame
reaching for tomorrow
I have lost today.
And now that all that's gray
is fading into day
I only pray the coming of the dawn
has come to light the way!

Is this the great discovery
for which I've waited?
Is this how a man is truly created?

A sun that never rose
the dawn that never came
Why do the things we have seem precious
only once they've slipped away?
Dreams of glory have their price to pay
But far beyond the night
Lie promises of light
and maybe with the coming of the dawn
there comes another day!

Maybe with the coming of the dawn
there comes another day!

[Thanks to Dustin bell for lyrics]

The Creature:

I had hoped that I was wrong. But I can see that I guessed correctly. Your desire to destroy me was so strong that you
followed me all this way. Over these many months and miles. Even to your own death. Wait. Save what little strength you ave
left. There is one more thing you must do before you die.

I never asked to be reborn
brought back,
to a world of hate.
I'll finally leave this life of scorn.
And seek my peace
Before the light of Heaven's gate!

Frankenstein:

This isn't what I came to do!
You have not been my prey.
Although it's true I've followed you.
There's something I've come to say.

The Creature:

No words! No lies!
It's time to die!
We'll meet again in Hell!

Frankenstein:

I have come to you
To seek your grace,
to beg forgiveness from you
and accept the blame

Damn the man who does not give his all
to help his son to live.
I've come to give this father's...

The Creature:

What have I done?
How can this be?
How cruel the hand of fate.
To take two souls
too blind to see.
And give them sight too late?

Now close your eyes,
lay down your head.
For soon we'll rest among the dead.
Go to sleep,
hold on to me.

Let the darkness set us free.

(screams in agony)

I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, father!

Behold the sorrow born of dreams!
The demon and his god,
abandon immortality!
I'll float upon the ice
I am born to see,
here to freeze and finally die again

And while I can't absolve our deeds,
This thirst for playing god
at last will end
and so this madness dies with me
Ne'er to return

[Thanks to Dustin bell for lyrics]
