Frederick - Life, Life Lyrics

Frederick:(Spoken)So, now we hurl the gauntlet of science into the frightful face of Death itself!

Ever since the beginning of time
When life arose from primevil slime
Death has ruled without question
Death has ruled supreme
Without the least suggestion
That man could foil it's scheme

But now we call on science
To end Death's evil reign
We shout in brave defiance
This soul shall live again!

Life,life, let my creature live,
Life,life, it's life that you must give!

Fate, Fate, through the strom and strife,
Fate, Fate, give my creature life!

Tear the night asunder,
Cast your light upon the dark,
The lightning bolts and thunder,
Will ignite a mortal spark!

Frederick, Inga, Igor & Frau Blucher:
Life, life, ere the break of dawn,
Life, life, let my dream be born!

Fate, fate, through this storm and strife,
Fate, fate, give my/the creature life!

Frederick: Give my creature life!(Spoken) This is it! Igor, throw the first switch!

Igor:(Spoken) Yes, master!

Frederick: Life, life, give my creature life
Give my creature life!
(Spoken) Now, throw the second switch!

Igor:(Spoken) Yes, master!

Inga, Igor & Frau Blucher: Give the creature life!

Frederick: Tear the night asunder,
Cast your light upon the dark,
The lightning bolts and thunder,
Will ignite a mortal spark!
(Spoken) Now, Igor...throw the third switch!

Igor: (Spoken) Not the third switch!

Frederick: (Spoken) Yes, the third switch!
Throw it, damn you, throw it!

Igor: (Spoken) Yes, master!

Frederick: (Spoken) Inga, now!

Frederick: Give me life ere the break of dawn,
Let my dream be born!
Through the storm and strife,

Through the wind swept air,
Listen to my prayer
Stir his brain, let breathing start
Let me hear his beating heart
Give my creature life!

Inga, Igor, Frau Blucher & Chorus: (Sung in unison) Life, life, 'ere the break of dawn
Life, life, let the dream be born!
Fate, fate, through the storm and strife,
Fate, fate, through the wind swept air,
Listen to his prayer
Stir his brain, let breathing start
Let him hear his beating heart
Give the creature life!
