TRACK 16: THE PROPOSITION
VICTOR:
I CREATED YOU WITH A NOBLE PURPOSE
TO FREE MANKIND FROM THE FEAR OF DEATH
IF I HAD KNOWN IT WOULD LEAD TO SUCH BLOODSHED
I WOULD NEVER HAVE GIVEN YOU BREATH
CREATURE:
HAS IT NOT PIERCED YOUR BRILLIANT MIND?
OUR ACTIONS CANNOT BE UNDONE
I WILL RAIN FEAR UPON ALL YOUR KIND
UNLESS... YOU NOW COMPLETE WHAT YOU'VE BEGUN
LISTEN CAREFULLY, VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN
I HAVE A PROPOSITION TO PRESENT TO YOU
YOU HAVE ONE CHANCE TO REDEEM YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS
YOU HAVE ONE LAST EXPERIMENT TO DO
CREATE A WOMAN TO SHARE THIS STRIFE
MAKE HER AS VILE AS MY DARKEST PAIN
GRANT ME THE JOY OF A KINDRED WIFE
IN RETURN... YOU SHALL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN
VICTOR:
NEVER! IMPOSSIBLE! PREPOSTEROUS!
YOUR SCHEME IS OUTRAGEOUS! ABSURD!
ONE MORE JUST AS MONSTROUS?
I WON'T INFLICT SUCH HORROR ON THIS WORLD
CREATURE:
WHAT'S WRONG, WHAT'S RIGHT?
DO YOU DECIDE?
I'M MORE THAN BLOOD AND BONE
I NEED A MATE... ONE MADE AS I
I WON'T EXIST ALONE
VICTOR:
WHO ARE YOU TO MAKE DEMANDS?
WHO'S NOW TWICE A CRIMINAL
MY BROTHER'S BLOOD UPON YOUR HANDS
ASKING ME TO SERVE YOUR WILL
A SECOND BEAST TO BRING NEW TERROR
UPON THE YOUNG AND INNOCENT
I'LL NOT WILLINGLY REPEAT MY ERROR
YOU WILL NOT GET MY CONSENT
CREATURE:
VICTOR, YOU COMPLETE THIS TASK
AND END YOUR FAMILY'S MOURNING
IT'S THE LAST I'LL EVER ASK
THE BOY WAS JUST A WARNING
CREATE ANOTHER WRETCH AS I
A LOVE I CANNOT BE DENIED
A SOUL CONTENT TO LIVE BESIDE ME
I'LL TAKE MY BRIDE AND RUN AWAY
SOMEPLACE SAFE WHERE WE CAN STAY
FAR FROM MAN AND HIS INSANITY
VICTOR:
I THINK IT WRONG, I THINK IT SICK
A CORRUPTION OF BIOLOGY
CREATURE:
BUT HERE'S A CHANCE TO MAKE IT RIGHT
TO OFFER AN APOLOGY
VICTOR:
COULD I UNDO THE GREAT MISTAKE?
ERASE THE SORROW FROM MY WAKE
NEVER AGAIN TO FACE THIS DEMON
AND MIGHT I STILL ATTAIN THE DREAM
WITH NOW A WOMAN AS THE MEANS?
BESTOW NEW LIFE UPON MY MISSION
VICTOR, CREATURE & CROWD:
LIFE EVERLASTING... REANIMATION...
A FLAWLESS NEW DESIGN
THE FINEST WOMAN IN ALL CREATION
AND SHE WILL BE...
CREATURE: ...MINE!
VICTOR:
BUT SOFTER NOW, A FEMALE FRAME
AN AGILE HAND'S REQUIRED
AND ONE WHO IS LOST MAY YET BE RECLAIMED
REBORN OF HEAVEN'S FIRE!
CREATURE:
YES, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE
YOU WILL ATONE AND NEVER SEE ME AGAIN
MASTER YOUR FATE, AND FACE THE UNKNOWN
AND BRING THIS NIGHTMARE TO AN END
VICTOR: YES HERE'S MY CHANCE...
CREATURE: HERE'S YOUR LAST CHANCE TO ATONE
VICTOR: ...I WILL ATONE... I'LL FIN'LLY KNOW PEACE
CREATURE: ...AS WILL I
VICTOR: ONE MORE LEAP...
CREATURE: ONE LEAP...
BOTH:
...INTO THE UNKNOWN...
AND PURGE THE NAME OF FRANK-EN-STEIN!!
JUSTINE: I am innocent!!! Innocent!!!
