]]> Context & Lyrics

John Jasper introduces himself and his inner disturbed feelings.

View Lyrics

Another trifling day,
One more soul-stifling day
Of blinding pain:
Boredom grinds my brain
Down to the grain.

A man could go quite mad
And not be all that bad.
Consider each superb,
Disturbing urge you’ve ever had
To curse aloud in church
Or choke each bloke who
Throws a smile your way…
Be that as it may.

A man could have bad dreams
And not be all he seems.
Yet not be far-removed
From all the noblest of extremes.
Sometimes I think that sanity
Is just a passing fad.
A man could go quite mad.

Unblessed are the dull.
One ceaseless, peaceless lull.
Some wondrous night,
Storm-struck thund’rous light
Will cast me right

A sculptor lacking arms,
A sorc’ror lacking charms,
A fiend who frightens no one
For there’s no one that he harms.
Whose clutches clutch
At only desp’rate respite
From this dim tableau!

Knowing this is so,
I hide myself in thought
Where one cannot be caught
And feed on dreams that contradicts each
Edict I’ve been taught
And if someday I lose my way and mind,
You’ll find me glad –
A man could go quite,
Man could go quite,
Man could go quite mad!

Henry Jekyll’s menacing alter ego, Edward Hyde, starts to manifest.

View Lyrics

HYDE
What is this feeling
Of power and drive
I’ve never known?
I feel alive!

Where does this feeling
Of power derive,
Making me know
Why I’m alive?

Like the night, it’s a secret,
Sinister dark and unknown.
I do not know what I seek,
Yet I’ll seek it alone!

I have a thirst
That I cannot deprive.
Never have I felt so alive!

There is no battle
I couldn’t survive –
Feeling like this –
Feeling alive!

Like the moon, an enigma,
Lost and alone in the night
Damned by some heavenly stigma,
But blazing with light!

It’s the feeling of being alive!
Filled with evil, but truly alive!
It’s the truth that cannot be denied!
It’s the feeling of being
Edward Hyde!

Context & Lyrics

Aurora, a diva whose role as the Spider Woman intimidates her lover Molina, gives her deadly kiss as the curtain closes.

View Lyrics

SPIDER WOMAN
Sooner or later
You’re certain to meet
In the bedroom, the parlor or even the street
There’s no place on earth
You’re likely to miss
Her kiss

Sooner or later
In sunlight or gloom
When the red candles flicker
She’ll walk in the room
And the curtains will shake and the fire will hiss
Here comes her kiss

And the moon grows dimmer
At the tide’s low ebb
And her black beads shimmer
And you’re aching to move
But you’re caught in the web
Of the Spider Woman
In her velvet cape
You can scream
But you cannot escape

Sooner or later your love will arrive
And she touches your heart
You’re alert and alive
But there’s only one pin
That can puncture such bliss
Her kiss

Sooner or later you bathe in success
And your minions salute
They say nothing but “YES”
But your power is empty
It fades like the mist
Once you’ve been kissed

And the moon grows dimmer
At the tide’s low ebb
And your breath comes faster
And you’re aching to move
But you’re caught in the web
Of the Spider Woman
In her velvet cape

You can run
You can scream
You can hide
But you cannot escape!
