After All This Time

[Lestat, spoken] Claudia was nothing to you, why, Armand? [Armand, spoken] For this moment... For this beautiful moment [Armand] What taste is this upon my lips? A taste so sweet, what can it be? What is this scent upon the air That fills my lungs and comforts me And whispers low How does it feel To savor up such just revenge TO smell the fragrant sea of loss And drunkenly inhale his pain Oh, can it be your countenance Is stripped of all its dash and dare? And what of your bold confidence- Could it have drowned in your despair? And after all this time I wash my hands of your charade And celebrate your fall from grace Preserve that sad look on your face And praise what god might manifest himsеlf to beings such as us For vengeancе, that at last is mine Comes sweetly after all this time [Lestat, spoken] You never meant to help me, did you? [Armand, spoken] You, who destroyed all of it? You, who took everything?! What made you think I would help you? [Armand] If you'll allow me to recall How my requests were swept aside At every instance I beseeched you I was shut out and denied You shattered what I once conceived From the moment you arrived And now you wonder why I gloat here Reveling in your grand demise You're arrogant! Beyond contempt You beg to share my precious blood I'd no sooner you in my veins Then to see you with the ones you love! And after all time I wash my hands of your charade And celebrate your fall from grace Preserve that sad look on your face And praise what god might manifest himself to beings such as us For vengeance, that at last is mine Comes sweetly after all this time (All this time) (All this time)
