TRACK 7: DEAR VICTOR/BURN THE LABORATORY

ELIZABETH:

DEAR VICTOR... SWEET VICTOR
I PRAY THIS FINDS YOU WELL
PLEASE KNOW THAT WE MISS YOU
MUCH MORE THAN WORDS CAN TELL
ARE YOU CONSUMED IN STUDY?
YOUR THOUGHTS A WORLD AWAY?
FROM ALL OF THOSE WHO LOVE YOU
AND HOPE FOR WORD EACH DAY
I KNOW YOUR PASSION'S FURY...
THE DREAMS YOU MUST PURSUE
I ONLY ASK FOR COMPROMISE
PLEASE REALIZE... MY DREAMS BEGIN WITH YOU

VICTOR:

ELIZABETH IT PAINS ME SO TO HAVE TO KEEP THIS SECRET FROM YOU
I'M SO ASHAMED THAT THIS IS ALL MY MANY MONTHS OF WORK
HAVE COME TO
HOW I LONG TO FEEL A WARM EMBRACE
AND KILL THIS FAILURE'S POISONED TASTE

ELIZABETH:

DEAR VICTOR... PLEASE ANSWER...
WITH WORDS THAT REASSURE

VICTOR:

I HAVE NO WORDS TO SOOTHE HER

ELIZABETH:

MY HEART CLINGS TO MEM'RIES
YET LONGS FOR SOMETHING MORE

VICTOR:

AND NO STRENGTH TO FIND THEM NOW

ELIZABETH:

WHERE IS THE MAN WHO HELD ME
AND MADE ME FEEL HIS FIRE?
AND DOES YOUR SILENCE PROVE IT TRUE
I'VE LOST YOU TO YOUR ONLY TRUE DESIRE

VICTOR:

ANOTHER MAN WOULD GLADLY NESTLE IN
HER LOVING ARMS FOREVER

ELIZABETH:

DEAR VICTOR

VICTOR:

YET HERE AM I, ALONE AND LOST
INSIDE A FOOLISH, FAILED ENDEAVOR
HAVE I GONE WHERE NO MAN SHOULD DARE GO?

ELIZABETH:

WHAT ARE YOU KEEPING FROM ME?

VICTOR:

EVERY DREAM I SEEK
JUST BEYOND MY REACH
WHAT IS MISSING, WHAT IS WRONG?

VICTOR: Letters from Elizabeth... my father... Henry...
Why did I shut them out so?  Was it indifference... or shame?

ELIZABETH:

DEAR VICTOR, WITHOUT YOU
OUR HOUSE IS NOT A HOME
DEAR VICTOR, RETURN TO US
I MISS YOU SO... I NEED YOU SO

VICTOR:

YOU MUST NEVER KNOW...

CREATURE: Frank... en... stein!!

VICTOR:

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WRETCHED BEAST IS CAPABLE OF LEARNING?
HAVE I LEFT MY GREATEST WORK AND ALL MY DREAMS
BEHIND ME, BURNING?
I'VE DONE WHAT I MUST
BACK TO ASH AND DUST
THAT WHICH NEVER SHOULD HAVE LIVED
