Track 11: The Waking Nightmare Lyrics by Frankenstein-A New Musical World Premiere Cast

Frankenstein: A New Musical: World Premiere Recording

2008

[Creature]:
You will listen to my tale
Every harrowing detail!
Then you will know why forever I curse in your name!
FRANKENSTEIN!
All that I know, all I remember
Ripped by the knife I am torn from my sleep
There were no dreams, no tortured memories
Only a silence eternal and blissfully deep
Am I alive or in purgatory?
Am I insane?
What is this animal gnawing inside of my brain?
What do they fear, why am I hunted?
Who is this stranger inside of my skin?
Broken and scarred, charred like an ember
Am I condemned though I cannot remember my sin?
What have I done to deserve such a sentence in hell?!
Born as a demon, a ghoul from a nightmare
Yet one who still suffers and scars like a human as well
Now here I stand, a half of a man
Wondering why I draw breath!
I'm here in the waking nightmare
And every moment tastes of death!
[Chorus]:
You're a beast to be feared!
Do not dare to draw near
You're an object of shame!
Without soul or a name!
Nothing that you can do
Will disguise what is true!
God has damned you at birth!
And by heaven we'll drag you and haunt you
And banish your soul from this earth!
[Creature]:
Lost and alone (An object of shame)
Colder than stone (Without a soul or a name)
Gnawing so deep in my breast!
That here in the waking nightmare
And whatever hell awaits there (Your kind has no place but the grave)
Yes here, in the waking nightmare! (You have no soul)
All I'll find is fear — and all I'll ever hear! — Are the screams of their terror and scorn!
But every moment tastes of death!
