retribution - richard orpheus campbell lyrics

[victor, elizabeth, the monster, two or more]

our life together is close at hand
but first i must ask one last thing of you
i beg of you please understand my darkest fear are soon to come true
and all that i want is to spare from the sight of my despair
so promise me you stay behind while i confront this nightmare

[break]

i’ll have my vengeance before the night is through
and frankenstein will learn that there is nothing i won’t do
to punish his betrayal, then he will see how well
i can play the fallen angel when he joins me in h*ll

my sentence has come i’m facing death tonight
he’s somewhere in the darkness and i’m ready for the fight
i’ll punish his betrayal; i’ll make him face the fact
i’m the one that gave him life, and i can take it back

hatred draws me closer towards my final act of revenge
just one more death and the bloodl*st borne on my past will be sated at last
there will be blood, i need to end this
for far too long i have been haunted
now i’m the hunter
and through the mist i hear the echoes of footsteps could they be his
an eye for an eye, and a life for a life
one of us must die, he will pay for his crime
this ends tonight

tonight is my wedding night and i’m fearful and alone

why won’t he show his face
why won’t he stay
why hasn’t he come for me
why must he desert me
have i been deceived
is everything quite as it seems

will he come back alive
am i his prey
does he still want me
or am i the victim
do i hear footsteps
suddenly the truth is plain to see
behind me
[background] retribution lies ahead, i will drain the blood of frankenstein’s beloved

just what is this apparition emerging from the night
your dearest victor is my maker
elizabeth
a beast so vile
my cursed creator
don’t open your door
with a murderous smile
i have been fooled
his actions have condemned you to death
what have i done to deserve this
he comes for you
just know this as you take
fatal embrace
to take your last breath
your last breath
the deed is done
dearest elizabeth
the war is won
what have i done
my only hope of comfort died by his blade
and now that debt has been repaid

why did i not then expire
why am i still here
to speak of the destruction of the purest soul on earth
but life clings the closes where it is most despised
so i live on and everywhere i see her figure butchered by the beast of my creation

now every night and every day my life has just one meaning
revenge alone has given me strength and kept my broken heart beating
my lips are frozen and my body starved but i do not fear the affliction
for i have been cursed by something far worse an uncontrollable addiction

i chased the creature you glimpsed last night with tireless devotion
from the desert sand to the mountains and across the frozen ocean
but i’ve reached my last horizon and failed in my mission
i am to die and yet he lives so hear this proposition
if he appears then swear to me, satisfy my vengeance
he’ll speak to you with eloquence but hear not his deceptions
call on the names of william, elizabeth and justine
and remember the wretched victor and how my life’s been torn apart
as my spirit guides your sword into his heart
