(Act 3) THE PRICE FOR IMMORTALITY

dark pop, synthpop, 132 BPM, accusing spoken intro, Polish male bariton voice, ‑rap, ‑hip-hop, ‑R&B

[Pre-Chorus]
[Build Up - Rising synths, accelerating electronic percussion]
I see you still, down on your knees
Crying out, 
[belted] "Make me immortal, please!"

And inside my chest, 
that familiar storm begins to rise
As I remember the golden light ...
in your innocent eyes

[Chorus]
[Drop - Deep pulsing house bassline, heavy rhythmic strings]
My heart yelled YES, 
but my soul screamed NO! (Noooo)
I love you too much 
to ever let you go

But forever's a curse 
that will swallow your youth
A beautiful lie 
wrapped in terrible truth!
I can't steal your freedom, 
I can't take your sun

Oh, look what this desperate love has begun
Two opposing forces 
are tearing me down
Do I give you a cross... 
or an immortal crown?

[Verse]
[Hypnotic electronic groove, ticking percussion, melancholic violins]
As you pleaded for the dark, 
my memory pulled me back ...

A thousand years of shadows 
running on a faded track
I remember the night 
they brutally ripped me from the light

Stole my mortal breath away ...
left me in the night
David ... you’re so young, 
you still belong to the dawn
Once the blood passes, 
your freedom is gone

You look at me and you see a savior, 
but I just see a thief
I refuse to be the architect 
of your endless grief

[Bridge]
[Beat drops out - Just a looping ambient synth pad and a solitary cello]
Your whispers are a loop inside my mind...
[whispered voice] "Just a taste"... 
[whispered voice] "it's just one bite ... 
[whispered voice "Please ... let ... me ... stay ... in ... the ... night!!!" ...

I can still feel your hands, 
fighting through the strife
You cried, [belted] "I choose you!"
But David... I choose your life.

[Instrumental Break - Dark synth pluck melody layered with dramatic, weeping violins and claps]

[Chorus]
[Climax - Massive driving house beat, soaring orchestral strings]
My heart yelled YES, 
but my soul screamed NO!

I love you too much 
to ever let you go!
But forever's a curse 
that will swallow your youth
A beautiful lie 
wrapped in terrible truth!

I cannot steal your freedom,
I cannot take your sun
Oh, GOD, look what this love has begun!

Pulled into pieces, 
I'm falling apart...
How do I save your life... 
without breaking your heart?

[Outro]
[Music fades to a minimal electronic pulse, fading low synth hum]
The sun is high outside.

And I'm alone here in the dark.

You asked me to turn you...

And I whispered, "I can't."
Please, David...

Live for me.

[End - Beat stops sharply on a echoing delay effect]

[Verse] The blinds are drawn, The midday sun is burning hot outside While I am in the shadows where the cold ghosts come to hide I close my eyes and I’m right back in the middle of last night Watching you unravel in the dim and heavy light I still hear your desperate words echoing through the room You said you couldn't face the dawn inside this lonely tomb You begged me, David ... YOU looked at me, and asked to open my veins To take you past the daylight, to break through your mortal chains [Pre-Chorus] [Build Up - Rising synths, accelerating electronic percussion] I see you still, down on your knees Crying out, [belted] "Make me immortal, please!" And inside my chest, that familiar storm begins to rise As I remember the golden light ... in your innocent eyes [Chorus] [Drop - Deep pulsing house bassline, heavy rhythmic strings] My heart yelled YES, but my soul screamed NO! (Noooo) I love you too much to ever let you go But forever's a curse that will swallow your youth A beautiful lie wrapped in terrible truth! I can't steal your freedom, I can't take your sun Oh, look what this desperate love has begun Two opposing forces are tearing me down Do I give you a cross... or an immortal crown?
