The Hands of Time Lyrics by Frankenstein World Premiere Cast

Frankenstein (World Premiere Recording)

2008

[ELIZABETH]
So many worried months without a single letter
Won't you allay our fears, my darling
[HENRY]
Such troubling news we've heard, great fires and accusations
And yet from you my trusted friend, there's silence
[ELIZABETH & HENRY]
Racing ever toward tomorrow, why do we?
[HENRY]
Could he not stay here at our side?
[ELIZABETH]
Could I not hold him in my arms forever?
[HENRY]
Could we change the world-
[ELIZABETH]
And somehow leave things just as they're designed?
[ELIZABETH & HENRY]
Would that be a crime?
If we tried to stay the hands of time?
[MAN (spoken)]
It was that man! Frankenstein!
[WOMAN (spoken)]
I saw him running from the courtyard!
[UNIVERSITY OFFICIAL (spoken)]
What were you doing locked up in that laboratory!?
[WILLIAM]
So many years apart
I barely know you, Victor
What if we never meet again, my brother?
[JUSTINE]
A time for everything, you'll learn
Sweet Master William
The silent bonds we share with family are those that shall endure
[JUSTINE & WILLIAM]
For always...
[PHYSICIAN (spoken)]
The patient is in a state of mental shock. Any inquests into the events at the University will have to await his full recovery
[ELIZABETH & HENRY]
Racing ever toward tomorrow, why do we?
[ELIZABETH]
Your father longs for your embrace
[JUSTINE]
A young boy needs a brother's hand to guide him
[ELIZABETH]
Reach into the past
[HENRY]
Make the world the way it was before
[ELIZABETH, HENRY & JUSTINE]
Let the days unwind, reverse the ever-twisting hands of time
[VICTOR (spoken)]
No...no...stay away from me! Devil! Demon! Demon!
[HENRY]
Where have you gone, my childhood friend?
[ELIZABETH]
The twisting hands of time turn in one direction
And draw us ever toward tomorrow
[WILLIAM]
When will he return? I fear we'll never meet again!
[JUSTINE]
A family lasts forever
A young boy needs a brother's hand
[ALL]
The twisting hands of time
They turn in one direction
And draw us ever toward another day
So near and yet so far
[ELIZABETH]
My darling...
[HENRY]
Companion...
[JUSTINE]
Good Master...
[WILLIAM]
Dear brother...
