ACT ONE
1. LOST IN THE DARKNESS
JEKYLL
Lost in the darkness,
Silence surrounds you
Once there was morning
Now, endless night
If I could reach you
I'd guide you and teach you
To walk from the darkness
Back into the light
Deep in your silence
Please try to hear me:
I'll keep you near me
Till night passes by
I will find the answer,
I'll never desert you
I promise you this
Till the day that I
Die...
2. FACADE
ALBERT
There's a face that we wear
in the cold light of day.
SIR DANVERS
It's society's mask, it's society's way.
ALBERT
And the truth is
that it's all a facade!
There's a face that we hide
till the nighttime appears.
UTTERSON
And what's hiding inside
behind all of our fears
ALBERT & UTTERSON
is our true self
locked inside the facade.
ENSEMBLE
Every day, people in their own sweet way
like to add a coat of paint
and be what they ain't!
ALBERT
That's how our little ...
ENSEMBLE
... game is played,
livin' out a masquerade,
actin' a bizzare charade.
UTTERSON
While playing the saint.
But there's one thing I know,
and I know it for sure:
this disease that we've got
has got no ready cure!
And I'm certain:
Life is terribly hard ...
ENSEMBLE
... when your life's a facade!
LADIES
Look around you, I have found
you cannot tell by lookin' at the surface
what is lurkin' there beneath it!
KATE
See that face!
Now I'm prepared to bet you:
what you see's not what you get
cause man's a master of deceit!
ENSEMBLE
So what is this sinster secret?
The lie he will tell you is true?
UTTERSON
It's that each man you meet on the street
isn't one man, but two!
ENSEMBLE
Nearly everyone you see
like him an' her an' you an' me
pretends to be a pillar of society.
LADIES
A model of propriety -
MEN
sobriety - and piety -
LADIES
who shudders at the thought of notoriety!
ENSEMBLE
The ladies and gents 'ere before you,
which none of 'em ever admits,
may have saintly looks,
but they're sinners and crooks:
Hypocrites!
Hypocrites!
There are preachers who kill,
there are killers who preach.
There are teachers who lie,
there are liars who teach.
Take yer pick, dear,
cause it's all a facade!
DAVIE
If we're not one but two,
are we evil or good?
MIKE
Do we walk the fine line
that we'd cross if we could?
ALBERT
Are we waiting ...
ENSEMBLE
... to break through the facade?
One or two
might look kinda well to do - hah!
They're as bad as me and you
right down to their boots!
UTTERSON
I'm inclined to think ...
ENSEMBLE
... half mankind
thinks the other half is blind!
Wouldn't be surprised to find ...
MIKE
... they're all in cahoots!
ENSEMBLE
At the end of the day
they don't mean what they say.
They don't say what they mean,
they don't ever come clean.
STRIDE
And the answer ...
ENSEMBLE
... is it's all a facade!
Man is not one but two,
he is evil and good
an' he walks the fine line
we'd all cross if we could!
DAVIE
It's a nightmare we can never discard,
so we stay on our guard,
though we love the facade ...
ENSEMBLE
Look behind the facade!
What's behind the facade?
ALBERT
Look behind the facade!
3. PURSUE THE TRUTH
JEKYLL
How can I pursue the truth
when they can block each step I take?
UTTERSON
Henry, you have come too far -
remember what you have at stake!
JEKYLL
John, I know I'm right!
I must let my vision guide me.
I'm so weary of the fight
There's so little left inside me!
UTTERSON
If you know that you are right,
then you've got to see it through.
You've got to see it through!
JEKYLL
Seven years ago I started out on this alone,
and it's alone I'll see it through to its conclusion.
Who are they to judge what I am doing?
They know nothing of the endless possibilities I see!
It's ludicrous I'm bound by their decision!
UTTERSON
Seem vision is a word they've never heard.
JEKYLL
If it mattered less,
I'd treat them with derision - it's absurd!
UTTERSON
And yet the fact remains:
those *** hold the reins!
4. FACADE (Reprise 1)
ENSEMBLE
If you live around here
you need cash in the bank,
cause the houses round here
are all flashy and swank,
and the front bit
is what's called a facade!
If you live around here
you need lots of panache.
If you live in town, dear,
then you must cut a dash.
'tisn't hard, dear,
to create a facade.
Here tonight it's festive
but the guests are getting restive,
cause the guest of honour's
causing a dilemma.
Doctor Jekyll's tardy
for his own engagement party
his betrothal
to Sir Danvers daughter, Emma!
5. EMMA'S REASONS
STRIDE
Emma Carew, can this be you?
What kind of man is this you've taken?
Can you not see the kind of life
that this would be - you are mistaken!
Time to awaken before it's too late,
before you forever determine you fate!
EMMA
But Simon, you knew: I had to be free.
What I choose to do is decided by me!
From the day my mother died,
My father, full of good intentions,
treated me as though I were a young child.
Maybe his idea was just to wait until I grew up
and then look at me and hope that I'd be her ...
It's easy to accept this from a father -
he'd rather things remained the way they were.
But when it comes to marriage,
I must pick whom I prefer!
I am not the weak young thing you're seeking, Simon,
someone seventeen, obedient and sweet.
I am not the protegee to waste your time on -
I'm complete!
In Henry's eyes I see what I am meant to be!
6. I MUST GO ON
JEKYLL
I must go on with the work I'm comitted to,
how can I not when my theories are true?
And I will prove, if I'm ever permitted to:
things are not wrong just because they are new!
EMMA
Henry, I adore you,
always have done, always will do
and your dreams are mine.
I will always understand
however hard the path you've planned,
our lifes will intertwine.
JEKYLL
Who knows where my work will lead me?
EMMA
Nowhere where you will not need me!
JEKYLL
Emma, please, I beg you heed me!
EMMA
Just don't leave me on my own ...
JEYKLL
The only thing I fear is the unknown!
EMMA
When this all began,
we knew there'd be a prize to pay.
Too late now to turn away!
We have come too far ...
I know, we'll find a way!
7. TAKE ME AS I AM
JEKYLL
Sometime I see past the horizon,
sure of my way, where I am going.
But where's the prize I have my eyes on?
Where? There is just no knowing ...
And when despair tears me in two,
Who can I turn to but you?
You know who I am ...
Take me as I am!
EMMA
Look in my eyes - who do you see there?
Someone you know or just a stranger?
If you are wise, you will see me there.
Love is the only danger!
Love meaning me, love meaning you,
we'll make that one dream come true.
You know who I am ...
Take me as I am!
BOTH
Though fate won't always do what we desire,
still we can set the world on fire!
Give me you hand, give me your heart!
JEKYLL
Swear to me, we'll never part!
EMMA
We'll never part!
JEKYLL
You know who I am ...
EMMA
You know who I am ...
JEKYLL
... this is who I am!
EMMA
... this is who I am!
BOTH
Take me as I am ...
8. LETTING GO
SIR DANVERS
Emma, don't you understand:
it's you I am concernd for!
EMMA
Father, don't be!
You should be concerned for him -
he's the one in need!
SIR DANVERS
I am only trying to protect you!
What else would you have your father do?
I think I would die
if any harm should come to you.
I'm scared, my child,
because I'm going to lose you.
I find it very hard to let you go!
EMMA
Father, if you tried to,
you could never lose me!
Darling father, I still love you
more than you will ever know!
But if we want our love to grow ...
SIR DANVERS
I know in time I have to let you go!
BOTH
We mustn't be afraid of letting go!
9. FACADE (Reprise 2)
SOLOISTS
'Ere in London's East End,
it's the pits of the earth,
where you won't find a friend,
where your life has not worth.
Death is waiting,
fate is markn' yer card.
You've got one chance in five,
they're the odds you must beat
if you want to survive,
so be fast on yer feet!
Life is 'ard 'ere -
it's the devil's backyard ...
10. NO ONE KNOWS WHO I AM
LUCY
Look at me and tell me who I am,
why I am, what I am.
Call me a fool and it's true I am,
I don't know who I am.
It's such a shame, I'm such a sham.
No one knows who I am.
Am I the face of the future?
Am I the face of the past?
Am I the one who must finish last?
Look at me and tell me who I am,
why I am, what I am.
Will I survive - who will give a damn
if no one knows who I am?
Nobody knows, not even you,
no one knows who I am ...
11. GOOD 'N' EVIL
LUCY
Good and evil
And their merits
Men have argued through history
As well they should
My philosophy
Any child can see
"Good is evil
And therefore all evil is good!"
How do you tell evil from good?
Evil does well - good, not so good
Evil's the one that is free everywhere
Good is the one that they sell!
You must decide which is heaven
Which is hell
Good men maintain evil's a curse
But it is plain good's even worse
Evil's the one that they tell you to shun
Good is the one to embrace
Say that and Satan will laugh right in your face!
The battle between good and evil
Goes back to the start
Adam and Eve and the apple tore Eden apart!
The key thing about good 'n' evil
Each man has to choose
Heaven 'n' hell
Is a helluva gamble to lose!
But as I peruse
This world we abuse
It's hell that we choose
And heaven must lose!
Evil is everywhere
Good doesn't have a prayer
Good is commendable
Evil's dependable
Evil is viable
Good's unreliable
Good may be thankable...
Evil is bankable!
Evil's for me - you can have good
Doesn't suit me to be Robin Hood!
It's easier by far, from the way that things are
To remain good 'n' evil
Than try to be evil and good!
12. NOW THERE IS NO CHOICE
JEKYLL
Now there is not choice,
I must put aside
the fears I feel inside -
there's no place to hide!
So it comes to this
one great golden chance
that only I can take,
when everything I've fought for
is at stake ...
To make the make that only I can make ...
13. THIS IS THE MOMENT
JEKYLL
This is the moment,
this is the day
When I send all my doubts and demons
on their way ...
Every endeavor I have made ever
I coming into play,
is here and now today ...
This is the moment,
this is the time
when the momentum and the moment
are in rhyme!
Give me this moment,
this precious chance.
I'll gather up my past
and make some sense at last!
This is the moment
when all I've done
all of the dreaming, scheming and screaming
become one!
This is the day,
see it sparkle and shine!
When all I've lived for
becomes mine!
For all those years,
I've faced the world alone.
And now the time has come
to prove to them I've made it on my own!
This is the moment,
my final test
destiny beckoned,
I never reckoned second best.
I won't look down,
I must not fall!
This is the moment,
the sweetest moment of them all!
This is the moment,
damn all the odds!
This day or never,
I'll sit forever with the Gods!
When I look back,
I will always recall
moment for moment,
this was the moment,
the greatest moment of them all!
14. FIRST TRANSFORMATION
JEKYLL
I must be wise,
I must try to analyze each change in me,
everything I see.
How will it be?
Will I see the world through different eyes?
Like a warning light, glimmering in red,
like crimson bloodshed, shimmering in red,
beautiful and strange,
see the colours change before my eyes!
See how they dance and they sparkle
like diamonds at night ...
leading out of the darkness and into the light!
Three fifty-eight a.m. It is done. I have injected 5 centilitres of the newly fused formula. A slight feeling of euphoria. Light-headedness. No noticable behavioural differences.
Now the die is cast - nothing left to do,
time alone can prove my theories true.
Show the world ...
Dear God - what is this ...?
Something is happening - I can't explain -
something inside me, a breathtaking pain,
devours and consumes me
and drives me insane!
Suddenly - uncontrolled -
Something is taking hold
Suddenly - agony -
filling me - killing me!
Suddenly - out of breath -
what is this - is this death?
Suddenly - look at me!
Can it be?
Who is this creature that I see?!
HYDE
Free!!!
15. ALIVE
HYDE
What is this feeling
Of power and drive
I've never known?
I feel alive!
Where does this feeling
Of power derive,
Making me know
Why I'm alive?
Like the night, it's a secret
Sinister, dark, and unknown.
I do not know what I seek
Yet I'll seek it alone!
I have a thirst
That I cannot deprive.
Never have I felt so alive!
There is no battle
I couldn't survive-
Feeling like this-
Feeling alive!
Like the moon, an enigma,
Lost and alone in the night
Damned by some heavenly stigma,
But blazing with light!
It's the feeling of being alive!
Filled with evil, but truly alive!
It's the truth that cannot be denied!
It's the feeling of being
Edward Hyde!
16. HIS WORK AND NOTHING MORE
UTTERSON
You have your work - and nothing more!
You are possessed - what is your demon?
You've never been this way before,
you've lost the fire you built your dream on.
There's something strange, there's something wrong
I see a change - it's like when hope dies.
I who have known you for so long;
I see the pain in your eyes!
UTTERSON JEKYLL EMMA
There was a time you lived your life
and no one did the way that you did!
You had a plan, you chose a wife,
you saw the world as very few did.
You had it all, the overall!
You seemed to know just what to live for.
But now it seems you don't at all.
You have your work, nothing more!
Have I
become
my work and
nothing more?
I know
that's not
what I'm
living for!
Have you
become
your work and
nothing more?
I know
that's not
what you're
living for!
EMMA
Father, you know, Henry won't just walk away!
The only way he knows is straight ahead!
SIR DANVERS
Emma, you've not heard a single word I've said!
My fear is he's in over his head.
He could lose control, and that I dread.
There has been talk, they say he's gone too far.
He's locked himself away in his own world,
pursuing his insanity!
EMMA
It is his work!
SIR DANVERS
It's more that work!
He is possessed, the man is driven!
EMMA
Just give him time - I ask no more!
His work's a crime to be forgiven.
SIR DANVERS EMMA
There's something strange unless I'm blind
I see a change of a bizarre kind! Just give him time, I ask no more!
EMMA SIR DANVERS
There's not at all, don't be unkind!
The problem's all in your mind! He's chasing dreams he'll never find!
SIR DANVERS UTTERSON JEKYLL
He has his work - and nothing more.
He is possessed, the man is driven!
This increasing isolation only adds
to your frustration and it could
endanger your ... Father ...
EMMA UTTERSON JEKYLL
Just give him time - I ask no more!
His work's a crime to be forgiven!
... career!
Who are they to judge what I
am doing, they know nothing
of the possibilities I see!
SIR DANVERS UTTERSON JEKYLL
He's chasing dreams he'll never find!
I see a change of a bizarre kind! Time to awaken before it's too late!
And I will prove, if I'm
ever permitted to
EMMA UTTERSON JEKYLL
There's not at all, don't be unkind!
Problem's all in your mind! Before you forever determine your fate
What you're living for Things are not wrong just
because they are new!
EMMA SIR DANVERS/UTTERSON JEKYLL
Still I pray,
every day,
Henry may
find his way.
I pray he may
find his way. Dear, I pray,
every day,
Henry may
find his way.
I pray he may
find his way! I pray
I
may
find
my
way!
I will pray,
every day,
Henry may
find his way.
I pray
he may find
his way! I will pray,
every day,
you two may
find your way.
I pray
you may find
your way! I
pray
I
may
find
my
way!
17. SYMPATHY, TENDERNESS
LUCY
Sympathy, tenderness,
warm as the summer
offer me their embrace.
Friendliness, gentleness,
strangers to my life -
they are there in his face.
Goodness and sweetness
and kindness
abound in this place.
I am in love with
the things that I see in his face.
It's a memory I know, time
will never erase!
18. SOMEONE LIKE YOU
LUCY
I peer through windows, watch life go by ...
Dream of tomorrow and wonder why ...
The past is holding me, keeping life at bay.
I wander, lost in yesterday,
wanting to fly,
but scared to try ...
But if someone like you
found someone like me,
then suddenly, nothing would ever be the same.
My heart would take wing,
and I'd feel so alive,
if someone like you found me.
So many secrets I'd long to share!
All I have needed is someone there
to help me see a world
I've never seen before.
A love to open any door
to set me free,
so I can soar!
If someone like you
found someone like me,
then suddenly, nothing would ever be the same.
There'd be a new way to live,
a new life to love,
if someone like you found me ...
Oh, if someone like you
found someone like me,
then suddenly, nothing would ever be the same.
My heart would take wing
and I'd feel so alive!
If someone like you loved me ...
loved me ...
... loved me!
19. ALIVE (Reprise)
HYDE
Animals trapped behind bars at the zoo
Need to run rampant and free!
Predators live on the prey they pursue
This time, the predator's me!
***, like a raging desire,
Fills my whole soul with its curse!
Burning with primitive fire,
Berserk and perverse!
Tonight I'll plunder heaven blind,
Steal from all the gods!
Tonight I'll take from all mankind,
Conquer all the odds!
And I feel I'll live on forever,
With Satan himself by my side!
And I'll show the world
That tonight, and forever,
The name to remember's
The name Edward Hyde!
What a feeling to be so alive!
I have never seen me so alive!
Such a feeling of evil inside-
That's the feeling of being
Edward Hyde!!

2. ONCE UPON A DREAM
EMMA
When this all began,
we knew there'd be a price ...
Once upon a dream,
we were lost in love's embrace.
There we found a perfect place,
once upon a dream.
Once there was a time
like no other time before.
Hope was still an open door
once upon a dream.
And I was unafraid,
the dream was so exciting.
But now I see it fade
and I am here alone!
Once upon a dream
you were heaven sent to me.
Was it never meant to be?
Was it just a dream?
Could we begin again
once upon a dream ...
JEKYLL
Don't abandon me now, Emma! For God's sake ...
I have never needed you more! And I do love you!
EMMA
I know that. And I will wait - however long it takes
... and I will pray for you!
When you need me,
if you need me,
you know where I'll be ...
3. OBSESSION
JEKYLL
What streak of madness lies inside of me?
What is the truth my fears conceal?
What evil force makes Edward Hyde of me?
What darker side of me does he reveal?
What is this strange obsession
that's tearing me apart?
Some strange deranged expression
of what's in my heart?
Am I the man that I appear to be?
Or am I someone I don't know?
Is there some monster drawing near to me?
Becoming clear to see?
Will what I fear to be ... be so?
4. IN HIS EYES
EMMA
I sit and watch the rain
and see my tears run down the window pane.
LUCY
I sit and watch the sky
and I can hear it breathe a sigh.
EMMA
I think of him, how we were
and when I think of him, then I remember ...
BOTH
... remember ...
EMMA
In his eyes, I can see
where my heart longs to be.
LUCY
In his eyes I see a gentle glow
and that's where I'll be safe, I know.
EMMA
Safe in his arms, close to his heart
LUCY
But I don't know quite where to start.
EMMA
By looking in his eyes,
will I see beyond tomorrow?
LUCY
By looking in his eyes,
will I see beyond the sorrow that I feel?
EMMA
Will his eyes reveal to me promises or lies?
LUCY
But he can't conceal from me the love
in his eyes!
EMMA
I know their every look - his eyes!
LUCY
They're like an open book - his eyes!
EMMA
But most of all ...
BOTH
... the look that hypnotized me!
EMMA
If I'm wise, I will walk away - and gladly.
LUCY
But sadly, I'm not wise,
it's hard to talk away the memory that you prize.
EMMA
Love is worth forgiving for ...
LUCY
... now I realize.
BOTH
Everything worth living for
is there, in his eyes.
EMMA
Love is worth forgiving for,
now I realize.
LUCY
Now I realize.
BOTH
Everything worth living for
is there, in his eyes!
5. DANGEROUS GAME
LUCY
I feel your fingers-
Cold on my shoulder-
Your chilling touch,
As it runs down my spine-
Watching your eyes
As they invade my soul-
Forbidden pleasures
I'm afraid to make mine.
At the touch of your hand-
At the sound of your voice-
At the moment your eyes meet mine-
I am out of my mind-
I am out of control-
Full of feelings I can't define!
HYDE
It's a sin with no name-
LUCY
Like a hand in a flame-
HYDE
And our senses proclaim
HYDE/LUCY
It's a dangerous game!
HYDE
A darker dream-
That has no ending-
That's so unreal
You believe that it's true!
A dance of death-
Out of a mystery tale-
The frightened princess
Doesn't know what to do!
Will the ghosts go away?-
LUCY
No ...
HYDE
Will she will them to stay?
LUCY
No ...
HYDE
Either way, there's no way to win!
LUCY
All I know is, I'm lost
HYDE:
No ...
LUCY
And I'm counting the cost
HYDE
No ...
LUCY
My emotions are in a spin!
I don't know who to blame...
HYDE
It's a crime and a shame!
LUCY
But it's true, all the same
HYDE/LUCY
It's a dangerous game!
No one speaks-
Not one word-
But what words are in our eyes
Silence speaks
Loud and clear-
All the words we (don't) want to hear!
At the touch of your hand-
At the sound of your voice-
At the moment your eyes meet mine-
I am losing my mind-
I am losing control-
Fighting feelings I can't define!
LUCY
It's a sin with no name-
HYDE
No remorse and no shame-
Fire, fury and flame!
LUCY
'Cause the devil's to blame!
HYDE/LUCY
And the angels proclaim It's a dangerous game!
6. FACADE (Reprise 3)
THE SPIDER w/ ENSEMBLE
If you live around here,
lotsa people, I fear,
will make promises
they will not honour, my dear.
An' the truth is,
you end up getting scarred!
There's a beast at the door
and he's wild and he's free,
but we don't let him in
cause we don't want to see
What is lurking
right behind the facade!
7. THE WAY BACK
JEKYLL
Somehow I have to get back
to the place where my journey started.
Find the course I charted
when I first departed.
Somehow I have to hang on
to the vision that first inspired me,
to the hope that fired me
when the world admired me!
I'll find a way back to the higher ground!
And see the view I saw before.
I'll search the world until the answer's found!
Turn my despair around forevermore!
Somehow I have to rebuild
all the dreams that the wind have scattered.
From what fate has shattered -
I'll retrieve what mattered!
Somehow I've got to go on
till the evil has been defeated,
till my work's compleated -
I will not be cheated!
God! You must help me carry on!
When it seems all hope has gone,
I have got to carry on!
8. A NEW LIFE
LUCY
A new life
What I wouldn't give
to have a new life!
One thing I have learned
as I go through life:
nothing is for free along the way!
A new start,
that's the thing I need
to give me new heart.
Half a chance in life
to find a new part,
just a simple role that I can play!
A new hope,
something to convince me
to renew hope!
A new day,
bright enough
to help me find my way!
A new chance,
one that maybe has
a touch of romance.
Where can it be -
the chance for me?
A new dream -
I have one I know
that very few dream.
I would like to see
that overdue dream -
even though it never may come true!
A new love -
though I know
there's no such thing as true love -
even so,
although I never knew love,
still I feel that one dream
is my due!
A new world -
this one thing I want
to ask of you, world!
Once - before it's time
to say Adieu, world!
One sweet chance
to prove the cynics wrong!
A new life -
more and more I'm sure
as I go through life,
just to play the game
and to pursue life -
just to share its pleasures and belong!
That's what I've been here for
all along!
Each day's
a brand new life!
9. CONFRONTATION
JEKYLL
Lost in the darkness,
Silence surrounds you.
Once there was morning,
Now endless night.
I will find the answer.
I'll never desert you-
I promise you this-
Till the day that I...
HYDE
Do you really think
That I would ever let you go?
Do you think I'd ever set you free?
If you do, I'm sad to say,
It simply isn't so.
You will never get away from me!
JEKYLL
All that you are
Is a face in the mirror!
I close my eyes, and you'll dissapear!
HYDE
I'm what you face
When you face in the mirror!
Long as you live, I will still be here!
JEKYLL
All that you are
Is the end of a nightmare!
All that you are is a dying scream!
After tonight,
I shall end this demon dream!
HYDE
This is not a dream, my friend-
And it will never end!
This one is the nightmare that goes on!
Hyde is here to stay,
No matter what you may pretend-
And I'll flourish, long after you're gone!
JEKYLL
Soon you will die,
And my silence will hide you!
You cannot choose but to loose control
HYDE
You can't control me!
I live deep inside you!
Each day you'll feel me devour your soul!
JEKYLL
I don't need you to survive,
As you need me!
I'll become whole
As you dance with death!
And I'll rejoice
As you breathe your final breath!
HYDE
For I'll live inside you forever!
JEKYLL
No!
HYDE
With Satan himself by my side!
JEKYLL
No!
HYDE
And I know that, now and forever,
They'll never be able to separate
Jekyll from Hyde!
JEKYLL
Can't you see
It's over now?
It's time to die!
HYDE
No, not I!
Only you!
JEKYLL
If I die,
You die too!
HYDE
You'll die in me,
I'll be you!
JEKYLL
Damn you, Hyde!
Set me free!
HYDE
Can't you see,
You are me?
JEKYLL
No!
Deep inside -!
HYDE
I am you!
You are Hyde!
JEKYLL
No - never!
HYDE
Yes, forever!
JEKYLL
God damn you, Hyde!
Take all your evil deeds,
And rot in hell!
HYDE
I'll see you there, Jekyll!
JEKYLL
Never!
10. FACADE (Reprise 4)
SOLOISTS
There's a beast at the door
and he's wild and free.
But we won't let him in,
cause we don't want to see
what is lurking
right behind the facade.
ENSEMBLE
Man is not one but two,
he is evil and good
and he walks the fine line
we'd all cross, if we could.
And he's waiting,
he's just waiting ...
11. FINALE
EMMA
Rest now, my tormented love!
You are free now ...
You're with me now
where you'll always be ...
