Jekyll & Hyde - 14. Transformation
Decided to upload the whole thing after all. This is the Original Concept Recording of 1994 (the amazing Anthony Warlow as Jekyll/Hyde). I numbered all of them as to make it easier to listen through the whole thing from start to finish. Enjoy! :)
Update:
Someone reminded me (6 years after I promised to do so, haha) to put the lyrics in the descripton, so here they are:
[JEKYLL, spoken]
September 13th, 11:56 PM. I have started this alone, and I must finish it alone. There is no longer a choice. I know I must use myself as the subject of the experiment.
(sung)
No, there is no choice
I must put aside the fears I feel inside
There's no place to hide
So it comes to this
One last final chance for me to take
Now everything I've fought for is at stake
Like a warning light, glimmering in red
Like crimson bloodshed, shimmering in red
Beautiful and strange, see the colors change before my eyes
See how they dance and they sparkle like diamonds at night
Leading me out of the darkness and into the light
(spoken)
11:58 PM. I have consumed 10 centiliters of formula HJ7. Salty, bitter taste. Stings the tongue. Warm in the gullet. Heat spreading strongly through my veins. A slight feeling of euphoria. Light-headedness. No noticeable behavioral differences.
I must be wise
I must try to analyze each change in me
Everything I see...
How will it be?
Will I see the world through different eyes?
Now the die is cast, nothing left to do
Time alone can prove my theories true
Show the world--
My God, what's this?
Something is happening-
I can't explain-!
Something inside me
A breathtaking pain!
Devours and consumes me
And drives me insane!
Suddenly-
Uncontrolled-!
Something is-
Taking hold!
Suddenly-
Agony!
Filling me!
Killing me?!
Suddenly
Out of breath-!
What is this?
Is this death?!
Suddenly
Look at me!
Can it be?
[HYDE, spoken]
Who is this... creature... that I see?
Free!
(laughter)
