The Modern Prometheus Lyrics by Frankenstein Cast

[VICTOR:]
So still the shadow of a woman lies
The future sleeping in her form
Dare I free her from her death?
Quicken now her pulse and breath
And make her once again reborn?

Why does the knife quake in my fingers?
Why is my heart an empty shell?
What if she awakes like him
Murderous and vile within?
An angel banished into hell?

No!

I've come too far to turn back now
The darkness will not be denied
And now the modern Prometheus
Is ready to create his bride!

[ADAM, SPOKEN:]
Do not delay, Victor
For I will be ever watching and when your labors are through
I shall appear to claim what is mine
Heed my wishes. You may be my creator, but I am your master-
Obey

[VICTOR:]
I've come to far to turn back now
There's nothing left I need decide
I am the modern Prometheus
Ready to create his bride

[HENRY:]
What heresy have you devised?
Is this the science you conceived?
With nature's every law defied
What good could ever be achieved?

[VICTOR, SPOKEN:]
The power of life and death rests in my hands, Henry
I dared before at Ingolstadt, but this time will be different!
She will be different!

[HENRY, SPOKEN:]
The question is not what you can do
The question is what you should do!

[VICTOR:]
I've come to far to turn back now
Soon you'll see I'm justified!
I am the modern Prometheus
Ready to create his bride!


[HENRY, SPOKEN:]
Men mustn't try to act like god!
Prometheus was merely myth!
[SUNG]
And if you toy with nature's course
Your fate shall be the same as his!

[VICTOR:]
I cannot believe what I am hearing
A great discovery is near
Lesser men may wait behind
Paralyzed of heart and mind
But I am not afraid to dare

We'll change the course of history
Please see beyond your petty fears
I was once a dreamer, now I'm man's redeemer!
We're on the verge of new frontiers!

[VICTOR, HENRY, AND ADAM, OVERLAPPING:]
She's going to be perfect!
(You've gone too far to turn back now)
(Can't you see what you've become?)
God is here on earth!
(My wishes shall not be denied)
(This science is insanity!)
I am the modern Prometheus
(You are the modern Prometheus)
(You're not the modern Prometheus)
Bear witness to her birth!
(Ready to create my bride)
(You cannot save humanity)


[VICTOR, SPOKEN:]
The destiny of humanity will not be stayed, Henry!

[HENRY, SPOKEN:]
I will not allow you to destroy yourself, Victor!
I will do everything in my power to see that
This abomination is exposed and brought to an end!

[VICTOR, SPOKEN:]
No!
