(ACT 8) The Warlock's Vial (Life for a Life)

Sebastian, look! Look what I have in my hand! Ten days in the shadows, crossing the land! Ten days with a warlock, a master of blood, To pull your eternity out of the mud! He forged it in secret, no name will I speak— But here is the cure that we both went to seek! Drink it, my love, let the history fade, Break the damn curse that the centuries made! [verse] Put it away, David! Put down the glass! You don't know the shadow that’s coming to pass. She was here in this room. She stood by the pane. Anna has found us. She’s pulling the chain. She knows about us, she knows what you tried— If you stay in Cape Town, there’s nowhere to hide! You have to run now, leave the city behind, Before she comes back for the debt she designed! [pre chorus] Run away?! After all of the turmoil I’ve faced? Look at the scars and the blood that I chased! I didn't crawl through the dark to just bleed— I am not running from what you might need! [pre chorus] You don't understand what her malice can do! She will tear out your heart just to execute you! Is our love not a fortress? Is it not a decree? [DAVID LEAD - SOFT LYRIC TENOR VOICE | c4-c5 strictly] I am fighting the dark just to set your soul free! I am fighting to keep your warm heartbeat alive! Against an old empire, can a mortal survive? I am giving you back your life! I am saving your life from her knife! Surely the fire we hold in our hands Is stronger than any ancient commands! [Verse] I watched you look out at the mountain and weep. I watched the cold loneliness you had to keep. I am not a fleeting toy she can erase, I will stand like a wall ... right in front of her face! Who cares of her bloodline? I watched you look out at the mountain and weep. I watched the cold loneliness you had to keep. I am not a fleeting toy she can erase, I will stand like a wall ... right in front of her face! Who cares of her bloodline? Who cares of her reign? No century old bloodsucker can match our domain! [VERSE 4] You arrogant mortal! You think love is a shield?! She is eighteen-thirty-seven, she doesn't yield! She made me, she owns me, she feels what I feel, Her venom is heavy, her terrors are real! I am trying to shield you! I’m trying to save The only bright thing from my centuries-grave! Look at the vial! It’s right in your reach! Its a death warrant, David, a catastrophic breach! I want to hold you when the sun starts to rise! I want you breathing! Don't you realize?! Let her come with her smoke and her pipe organ sound! She will bury your ashes deep into the ground! Is our love not a fortress? Is it not a decree? I am fighting the dark just to set your soul free! I am fighting to keep your warm heartbeat alive! Against an old empire, can a mortal survive? I am giving you back your life! I am saving your life from her knife! Surely the fire we hold in our hands Is stronger than any ancient commands! [OUTRO] Drink it, Sebastian. Choose me. Choose life. David... she ... is ... watching ... us ... right ... NOOOW. [End]
