[Verse 1: Victor and Elizabeth]
My mind was reeling
With the threat of this ultimatum
I knew I had no choice but to obey
I returned to my home
To fetch the tools of creation
Then my Elizabeth wept as a carriage pulled me away
I'm left alone incomplete 'til his thoughts return to me
[Verse 2: Victor and the Monster]
So I returned to the secret toil that I could not escape
And my heart sickened within me
As the work began to take shape
Where before I had been blind
Now I fеar all I designed
But the bеat's words were endlessly ringing in my mind
“But if you refuse I will glut the maw of death
Til it is gorged on the blood of your remaining friends”
[Chorus: Victor]
Spark of life in my hand
Time had come to complete the creature's plan
When suddenly to my surprise he materialized
At the window and as I looked into his eyes
I saw a future filled with devils like him
I realized my madness
And sawed my work limb from limb
[Bridge: Victor and the Monster]
Look what you've done
And the killer you've become
Do you dare to break your promise
Do you dare destroy my hopes
Leave me be
I will not repeat my crime
You can never change my mind
I will never forge another wicked as you
Then it's already too late
You have sealed your own fate
As revenge becomes my guiding light
Know that ill be with you on your wedding night
[Outro: Victor]
I was not moved to fear
By the knowledge of my destiny
That on my wedding night
The beast would come for me
But when I thought of my Elizabeth
And of her years of endless mourning
Tears fell from my eyes
My mind was reeling
With the threat of this ultimatum
I knew I had no choice but to obey
I returned to my home
To fetch the tools of creation
Then my Elizabeth wept as a carriage pulled me away
I'm left alone incomplete 'til his thoughts return to me
[Verse 2: Victor and the Monster]
So I returned to the secret toil that I could not escape
And my heart sickened within me
As the work began to take shape
Where before I had been blind
Now I fеar all I designed
But the bеat's words were endlessly ringing in my mind
“But if you refuse I will glut the maw of death
Til it is gorged on the blood of your remaining friends”
[Chorus: Victor]
Spark of life in my hand
Time had come to complete the creature's plan
When suddenly to my surprise he materialized
At the window and as I looked into his eyes
I saw a future filled with devils like him
I realized my madness
And sawed my work limb from limb
[Bridge: Victor and the Monster]
Look what you've done
And the killer you've become
Do you dare to break your promise
Do you dare destroy my hopes
Leave me be
I will not repeat my crime
You can never change my mind
I will never forge another wicked as you
Then it's already too late
You have sealed your own fate
As revenge becomes my guiding light
Know that ill be with you on your wedding night
[Outro: Victor]
I was not moved to fear
By the knowledge of my destiny
That on my wedding night
The beast would come for me
But when I thought of my Elizabeth
And of her years of endless mourning
Tears fell from my eyes
