about

A dramatic reimagining Alexandre Dumas’ masterwork

lyrics

You who would be
Who enslaves me
I am sleeping
No longer
All I long for
Bloody vengeance
Satisfaction
From you
I have hungered
Thirst unslakéd
Caged in darkness
Foul
I have studied
I am shadow
I am kindness
Of the poisoned blade

Oh, you will be my guest
I am the shadow of death

I am the enemy
Prepare this final feast
Sit at my table
Secrets you’ve buried deep
No one will ever see
These are my fable
Brought me to misery
Stripped everything from me
But now I’m able
This is my masterpiece
Repaying every grief
Eye for eye, life for life
Justice be done

I am madness
Sow the wind
Reap the whirlwind
Within
My hatred intransigent

Oh, choke upon this wine
I am the poisoned vine

You took everything from me
I was cast from the light
There in the darkness a fire grew
My vengeance it burns
It burns
But my soul is as ice

Bartered your heart away
Forgot my very face
This is my dagger
Husband has cast away
This mortal coil shame
Will be your master
Wander for all your days
For abandoning me
To love a bastard
You won’t forget my name
This time I leave don’t pray
For mercy or peace for
There will be none

Oh, beloved betrayer
I will forgive you never
