if you ever find a moment , spare a thought for me .
for god’s sake what’s going on up there ?
there’s no one there , and if there is well then it must be a ghost !
lord heavens , i have never known such insolence !
you’ve been here five minutes , what do you know ?
these things do happen ! all the time !
you … you’re as bad as him !
oh god in heaven , you’re all obsessed .
… but perhaps you could afford more ?
remember me every so often , promise me you’ll try .
[ name ] , this is doing nothing for my nerves .
it was always clear that this was never meant to be .
think of august when the world was green .
don’t think about the way things might have been .
imagine me trying too hard to put you from my mind .
there will never be a day when i won’t think of you .
she may not remember me , but i remember her .
you must change , and i must get my hat .
things have changed , [ name ] .
stay by my side , guide me .
my soul was weak , forgive me .
look at your face in the mirror , i am there inside .
come to me , strange angel .
my power over you grows stronger , yet .
though you turn from me , to glance behind …
those who have seen your face draw back in fear .
i have needed you with me .
i remember there was mist …
who was the shape in the shadows ?
damn you , you little prying pandora !
is this what you wanted to see ?
now you cannot ever be free !
can you even dare to look or bear to think of me ?
but [ name ] , fear can turn to love . you’ll learn to see .
you must be always on your guard .
[ name ] , hold your tongue .
your devotees are on their knees to implore you !
can you bow out when they’re shouting your name ?
think of how they all adore you !
can you deny us the triumph in store ?
heaven help you , those who doubt .
this is a game you cannot hope to begin !
so , it is to be war between us ?
do you really think that’s wise ?
if he knew the truth , he’d never , ever go !
why have you brought us here ?
don’t bring me back there .
[ name ] , i’ve been there .
what you heard was a dream and nothing more .
those pleading eyes , that both threaten and adore .
no more talk of darkness .
i’m here , nothing will harm you .
i’m here , with you , beside you .
say you’ll love me every waking moment .
say you need me with you now and always .
promise me that all you say is true , that’s all i ask of you .
all i want is freedom , and you always beside me .
say you’ll share with me , one love , one lifetime .
anywhere you go , let me go too .
[ name ] , that’s all i ask of you .
say the word and i will follow you .
say you love me - - you know i do .
love me , that’s all i ask of you .
i must go , they’ll wonder where i am .
you will curse the day you did not do all that i asked of you !
you can fool any friend who ever knew you !
what a night , what a crowd !
think of it … a secret engagement .
why is it secret ? what have we to hide ?
it’s an engagement , not a crime !
[ name ] , what are you afraid of ?
you will understand in time .
did you think that i had left you for good ?
there are worse things than a shattered chandelier .
don’t ask me , i know no more than anyone else !
you were once my companion .
you were all that mattered …
sometimes it seemed if i just dreamed , somehow you would be here .
why can’t the past just die ?!
teach me to live … give me the strength to try .
no more memories … no more silent tears .
no more gazing across the wasted years .
who is it there , staring ?
have you forgotten your angel ?
[ name ! name ! ] listen to me !
let’s see how far you dare go !
[ name ] , are you confident this will work ?
i hate to have to cut the fun short , but the joke’s wearing thin .
the trap is set and it waits for it’s prey .
you have come here in pursuit of your deepest urge .
our games of make - believe are at an end .
abandon thought and let the dream descend .
past the point of no return , the final threshold .
what warm unspoken secrets will we learn ?
you have brought me to that moment where words run dry .
i have come here , hardly knowing the reason why .
in my mind i’ve already imagined our bodies entwining … defenseless and silent .
now i am here with you , no second thoughts .
when will the blood begin to race ?
the bridge is crossed , so stand and watch it burn .
lead me , save me from my solitude .
say you want me with you here beside you .
no , [ name ] , no ! you stay here !
no kind word from words from anyone , no compassion anywhere .
[ name ! name , ] why ? why ?!
have you gorged yourself at last in your lust for blood ?
pity comes too late , turn around and face your fate .
this haunted face holds no horror for me , now .
it’s in your soul that the true distortion lies .
wait , i think my dear , we have a guest !
this is indeed an unparalleled delight ! i had rather hoped that you would come .
your lover makes a passionate plea .
i love her ! does that mean nothing ?
the world showed no compassion to me !
did you think that i would harm her ?
why should i make her pay for the sins that are yours ?
start a new life with me .
this is the choice . this is the point of no return .
the tears i might have shed for your dark fate … grow cold and turn to tears of hate .
[ name ] , forgive me - please , forgive me !
either way you choose , he has to win .
i fought so hard to free you .
you deceived me ! i gave my mind blindly .
you try my patience . make your choice .
what kind of life have you known ?
god , give me courage to show you , you are not alone .
forget me , forget all of this .
go , now ! don’t let them find you !
swear to me , never to tell !
go , now ! go now and leave me !
