frankenstein-a new musical world premiere cast - track 16: the proposition lyrics
[victor]:
i created you with a n0ble purpose
to free mankind from the fear of death!
if i had known it would lead to such bloodshed
i would never have given you breath
[creature]:
has it not pierced your brilliant mind
our actions cannot be undone?
i will reign fear upon your kind
unless you now complete what you’ve begun
listen carefully, victor frankenstein
i have a proposition to present to you!
you have one chance to redeem your transgressions
you have one last experiment to do
create a woman to share the strife
make her as vile as my darkest pain
make me the joy of a kindred wife
in return, you shall never see me again
[victor]:
never! impossible! preposterous!
your scheme is outrageous, absurd!
one more just as monstrous
i’ll not inflict such horror on this world!
[creature]:
what’s wrong, what’s right?!
do you decide?
i’m more than blood and bone!
i need a mate
one made as i!
i won’t exist alone
[victor]:
who are you to make demands?
who’s now twice a criminal?
my brother’s blood, upon your hands
asking me to serve your will
a second beast to bring new terror
upon the young and innocent
i’ll not willingly repeat my error!
you will not get my consent!
[creature]:
victor you complete this task
and end your family’s mourning
it’s the last i’ll ever ask
the boy was just a warning
create another wretch as i, a love i cannot be denied
a soul content to live beside me
i’ll take my bride and run away, someplace safe where we can stay
far from man and his insanity
[victor]:
i think it wrong, i think it sick!
a corruption of biology
[creature]:
but here’s your chance to make it right
and offer an apology
[victor]:
can i undo the great mistake? erase the sorrow from my wake?
never again to face this demon
and might i still attain the dream, with now a woman as the means
bestow life upon my mission
[chorus]:
bestowing life
[all]:
life everlasting, reanimation
a flawless new design
the finest woman in all creation
and she will be
[creature]:
mine…
[victor]:
but softer now, a female frame
and agile hands required
and one who is lost, yet may be reclaimed
reborn of heaven’s fire
[creature]:
this is your chance, you will atone
and never see me again
remaster your fate! and face the unknown
and bring this nightmare to an end
[victor]:
this is my chance, i will atone (here’s your last chance, you will atone)
and finally know peace
[creature]:
as will i
[victor & the creature]:
one more leap into the unknown
and purge the name of frankenstein!
[justine]:
i am innocent! innocent!
