Frankenstein Cast - Amen Lyrics

Teacher:
Frankenstein, we find your ideas to be shocking,
dangerous and an affront to all that is moral
and decent, shocking, it is madness,
folly, insanity!
The dead have nothing to say to you.

Convict:
I curse the day that I was born
Into a world so black with hate
I'll gladly leave this life of scorn
And seek my peace before the light of heaven's gate
I have my sins like any man
But none more dark that yours
If it is I that you choose to damn
Innocent blood will stain your hands forevermore

Hangman:
For crimes against the people
The legislate of Ingolstadt hereby sentence you
To be hanged by the neck until death
This 16th day of September 1700 and 28

People:
You kind has no place but the grave
Not even the soul that can be saved
Soon you will know eternal pain
(x2)

Convict:
What's wrong, what's right?
Does man decide
Who dares to act like God?

People:
No man will dare, no man will dare to act as God

Victor:
Another soul, another light, another flame extinguished.
One moment here and then it's gone
The heart is beating than it's done
The difference barely is distinguished
The ancient riddle: What it is - life?
What is its fleeting essence?
The greatest minds have sought the key
That could unlock this mystery and I alone posses it!

What I have found was thought impossible
And only spoken of in fear
If I can show them the impossible
Create a life! Then all must hear!

People:
Justice will be done!

Victor:
The dawn that waits - it calls to me

Convict:
What wrong, what's right?

Victor:
Crying destiny's demands
The very fate of all mankind is in this mind and in these hands

People:
It is time upon this judgement day

Convict:
Who dares to act like God?

Convict:
Oh, my creator claim me now
Grant to me this nightmare's end

And if no man shall mourn for me
I'll trust in you
Amen.

Hangman:
Who will tend to the remains?
I say, who claims this body?!

Victor:
I do.
