Lyrics
Frankenstein! We find your ideas to be shocking, dangerous, and an affront to all that is moral and decent! It's shocking!
(It is insanity! Only a fool or a heretic would dare trifle with life and death as you propose!)
Your obsession with discredited charlatans and their dubious science is pure folly!
The University will not stand for these outlandish and unauthorized experiments of yours!
It is absolute madness!
It is MADNESS! FOLLY! INSANITY!
The dead have nothing to say to you
I curse the day that I was born
Into a world so black with hate
I'll gladly leave this life of scorn
And seek my peace before the light of Heaven's gate
I have my sins like any man
But none more dark than yours
If it is I you choose to damn
Innocent blood will stain your hands forevermore
For crimes against the people
Your kind has no place but the grave!
The magistrate of Ingolstadt hereby sentences you
Not even a soul that can be saved!
To be hanged by the neck until dead
Soon you will know eternal pain!
This sixteenth day of September, seventeen-hundred and...
Your kind has no place but the grave! (Eternal pain)
What's wrong? What's right?
Not even a soul that can be saved! (Can be saved)
Does man decide?
Soon you will know eternal pain!
Who dares to act as God?
No man would dare (No man would dare) No man would dare to act as God!
Another soul, another light, another flame extinguished
One moment here and then it's gone, a heart is beating then it's done
The difference barely is distinguished
The ancient riddle, what then is life?
What is its fleeting essence?
The greatest minds have sought the key that could unlock this mystery, and I alone possess it
What I have found was thought impossible
And only spoken of in fear
If I can show them the impossible, create a life
Then all must hear!
Let God's will be done!
The gauntlet waits, it calls to me!
(What's wrong, what's right?)
Crying destiny's demands
Make him pay!
(Does man decide?)
The very fate of all mankind!
(Finish what's begun!)
Rests in this mind!
Who dares to act as God?
And in these hands...
(Upon this judgement day!)
Oh, my creator, claim me now!
Grant to me this nightmare's end!
And if no man shall mourn for me
I'll trust in you
Amen
Who will tend to the remains?
I say, who claims this body?
I do!
