Lyrics
[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
