Amen Lyrics – Frankenstein Cast

Amen Text

---

Teachers:
Frankenstein, we find your ideas to be shocking, dangerous and an affront to all that is moral and decent.
(It is INSANITY! Only a fool or a heretic would dare trifle with life and death as you propose.)
(Your obsession with discredited charlatans and their dubious science is pure FOLLY!)
(This is absolute MADNESS!)

All:
It is MADNESS, FOLLY, INSANITY!

Teacher #1:
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 than yours
If it is I you choose to damn,
Innocent blood will stain you hands forevermore

Hangman:
For crimes against the people..
The magistrate of Ingolstadt hereby sentences you,
To be hanged by the neck until dead
The 16th of September 1700 and..

Mob:
Your kind has no place but the grave
Not even a soul that can be saved
Soon you will know eternal pain
(x2)
No man will dare to act as God!

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

Victor:
Another soul.. another light
Another flame extinguished
One moment here, and then its gone
A heart is beating, than its done
The difference barely is distinguished
The ancient riddle.. What then 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!

Mob:
Let God's will be done!

Victor (Convict):
The gauntlet waits, it calls to me (What's wrong, what's right?)
Crying destiny's demands (Does man decide?)
The very fate of all mankind, rests in this mind (Who dares to act as God?)
And in these hands

Mob:
Make him pay!
Finish what's begun
Upon this Judgement day!

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.
