Annabel Raises The Dead Lyrics by Paul Shapera

Dolls of New Albion, A Steampunk Opera

2012

[Verse 1]
Winding all the dials and the wires and the spires and the
Tests for the connections and injections still to run
Capacitors and meters and the alkali and beakers
The restating of equations for the phase about to come
[Pre-Chorus]
Please come back to me, there’s so much we could be
Please come back, with voltage I invoke
Please come back from empty cracks and berths of black
Come to me, I’m summoning the ghost
[Refrain]
Be my angel, my angel
Be my angel, rescue me
Be my angel, my angel
Be my angel, be with me
[Chorus]
Please come back from bowels of black
From silent shores to me once more
Through veils and gates, and seas of slate
To blood wet moors where I await ashore
[Verse 2]
Years of all my theories and hypothesis and inquiries
No gathering cadavers and they kicked me out of school
All alone with theorems and experiments and endless tests
Years in labs and number-lands but now I’ve reached the goal
[Pre-Chorus]
Please come back so we can have a life at last
Please come back, I grab at heavens throat
Please come back, I beckon, beg and cry and laugh
Come to me, I’m summoning the ghost
[Refrain]
Be my angel, my angel
Be my angel, rescue me
Be my angel, be my angel
Be an angel, be
[Chorus]
Please come back from bowels of black
From silent shores to me once more
Through veils and gates and seas of slate
To blood wet moors where I await ashore
[Bridge]
Please come speak to me
Please come speak to me
All the things we can share and conceive
If you'll come speak to me
I remember you from school
You were dashing and I so uncool
You didn't know I was alive until that one night
We spoke and you kissed me
But then I was expelled
You married her as well
And now you've died, but I can bring you back to life
And soon you'll speak to me
[Refrain]
Be my angel, be my angel
Be my angel, rescue me
Be my angel, be my angel
Be an angel, be with me
Be an angel, be with me
Be an angel, be
[Pre-Chorus]
Please come back so we can have a life at last
Please come back, I grab at heavens throat
Please come back, I beckon, beg and cry and laugh
Come to me, I’m summoning the ghost
[Chorus]
Please come back from bowels of black
From silent shores to me once more
Through veils and gates and seas of slate
To blood wet moors where I await ashore
