Testo: Soundtrack Artists. Dear Victor.

DEAR VICTOR

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 with 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 dream you must pursue
I only ask for compromise

Please realize
My dream begins 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 your warm embrace
And kill this failure's poison taste

ELIZABETH
Dear Victor
Please answer
With words that reassure

(VICTOR: I have no words to soothe her)

My heart clings to memories
Yet longs for something more

(VICTOR: That(?) no strength to find them now)

Where is the man who held me?
Who made me feel his fire?
What does your silence prove, it's true
I've lost you to your only true desire?

VICTOR
Another man would gladly nestle in her loving arms forever!


(ELIZABETH: Dear Victor)

Yet here I am
A lonely lost's (?) another foolish failed endeavor

Have I gone where no man should dare go?

(ELIZABETH: What are you keeping from me?)

Every dream I seek
Just beyond my reach
What is missing, what is wrong?

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

*fire crackles, THE CREATURE moans "Fran-ken-stein!"*


BURN THE LABORATORY

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
Then to ashen dust
That which never should have lived!
