Lyrics

Sympathy for the Abyss

[HENRY, spoken]

"Annette, we don't have long."

[HENRY]

I'll sing these words to you

I hope they will ring true

They're not some magic chimes

To cover up my crimes

Annette, of this I'm sure

Imaginations strong

And reason's song is weak and thin

We don't have long

I stood upon a cliff

A deep abyss below

Compelled to look I tried

To fight it off, God knows I tried

This horrid urge to look below

But half-horrified and half relieved

I cast my eyes toward the abyss

The dark abyss

I heard a ringing in my ears

I knew death knell's ugly sound

Thе overbearing urge to gazе

Into the deep abyss, the haze

So strong the yearning for the fall

Imagination's strong

And reason's song

Is weak and thin, we don't have long

[ANNETTE]

I will never sing again

Shunning the lights at night

I will never sing again

Smashing every lamp I see

I will never sing again

Living in full darkness

I will never sing again

A vampire forever

[HENRY, spoken]

Annette! No. No. Annette

[HENRY (ANNETTE)]

I sang these words to you (Can I forgive what you have done?)

I hope that they'll ring true (And will I ever forgive mom?)

Imagination is so strong (Her deadly poison I became)

And reason's song is never strong (Merely a child to exploit)

Imagination is so strong (Forgive you both)

And reason's song (Forget you both)

So faint and shrill (To take that oath)

I stood above the dark abyss (To take that oath)

[ANNETTE (HENRY)]

But is forgiveness the sole way (This horrid urge to look below)

When all has gone so far astray (God knows I tried to fight it off)

Extract poison from one's heart (Half horrified and half relieved)

And from one's soul (And cast my eyes)

I can't be sure (Down the abyss)

Forgive the two of you or not

I take this oath (Sympathy for the dark abyss)

Forgive you both

I take this oath (Sympathy for the dark abyss)

Forgive you both or forget you both (Don't cast your eyes)

I must be strong (Down the abyss)

I must be strong

[HENRY]

Goodbye, Annette

Goodbye, Annette

Goodbye, Annette

Goodbye, Annette

Goodbye
