Lestat:
It suits me well, this modern world
The righteous find depraved
For one who's lived three centuries
A stranger to the grave
The years roll by, and rules that I
Was taught to honor and revere
In this new age of telling all
Seem threats exempt of fear
I've read in recent times the claims
That literature has made
The image of my kind is just
A comic book charade
They demonized this thing that I became
The truth is lost, the cliches still remain
And from the dead there springs a tale that must be told
And epic life connected
Through a single thread of gold
And how from death into damnation I was hurled
It's time this vampire shared his story with the world!

Nothing Here
by Lestat The Musical Cast
Gabrielle:
I see the longing in your eyes
You always were the dreaming child
This house is old and torn apart
It holds no future, has no heart
You'll only suffer if you stay
These cold grey walls will have their way
I beg of you to free your mind
And leave this sinking ship behind
There's nothing here
You don't belong
You must escape
While you're still young
The path for you
Is bright and clear
I tell you boy
There's nothing here
The colors run so deep out there
Find joy to trade for this despair
Go seek the wonders of the stage
Of music, and the printed page
The time is now, I beg of you!
Cast off the old, embrace the new
Drink deep of life and love my son
And damn this house to kingdom come
There's nothing here
Your heart demands
Release your soul
The world commands
The path for you
Is bright and clear
I tell you boy
There's nothing here
The path for you is bright and clear
I tell you boy...there's nothing here.
I see the longing in your eyes
You always were the dreaming child
This house is old and torn apart
It holds no future, has no heart
You'll only suffer if you stay
These cold grey walls will have their way
I beg of you to free your mind
And leave this sinking ship behind
There's nothing here
You don't belong
You must escape
While you're still young
The path for you
Is bright and clear
I tell you boy
There's nothing here
The colors run so deep out there
Find joy to trade for this despair
Go seek the wonders of the stage
Of music, and the printed page
The time is now, I beg of you!
Cast off the old, embrace the new
Drink deep of life and love my son
And damn this house to kingdom come
There's nothing here
Your heart demands
Release your soul
The world commands
The path for you
Is bright and clear
I tell you boy
There's nothing here
The path for you is bright and clear
I tell you boy...there's nothing here.

The Thirst
by Lestat The Musical Cast
Lestat: How can this be?
This devil leaves
And God abandons me
I'm left here looking
At these flames
But who could set me free?
The vessel that I used to be
Is tainted now and ripped apart
Bathed in madness by the fiend
Who's robbed me of my human heart
To contemplate
This crimson hell
Is more than I can stand
Did I sin so
To see my fate
Offered up by hell's own hand?
My skin that once was golden brown
Is cold and white as winter snow
These evil points that pierce my gums
These lacquered nails that seem to glow
But wait, did I invite this fate,
This invitation from the damned?
This introduction to the dark
Was never in my mortal plan
And if indeed this cruel joke
Was somehow in my destiny
Should I embrace its wicked ways
And haunt the night for what I need?
To die in such a way
And simply to be born again
A thing of terrifying strength
A bringer of bewitching pain
And blood become the drug I need
Will blood fulfill the thirst in me?
The thirst that sends them to their graves
The thirst for that which I will crave
My life is gone
But I live on
Dead, but still alive
Lost to those
Who loved me once
A demon now inside
For here I am a thing of darkness
Thrown from this ungodly swoon
Immortal from a savage kiss
Kept from my eventual doom
But I did not invite this fate
This invitation from the damned
This introduction to the dark
Was never in my mortal plan
And if indeed this cruel joke
Was somehow in my destiny
Then I'll embrace its wicked ways
And haunt the night for what I need
To die in such a way
And simply to be born again
A thing of terrifying strength
A bringer of bewitching pain
And blood become the drug I need
Let blood fulfill the thirst in me
The thirst that sends them to their graves
The thirst for that which I now crave
This thirst
This thirst is strong
It overpowers
All right and wrong
The thirst
I feel it coming on
The thirst
I feel it coming on
The thirst
I feel it coming on!
This devil leaves
And God abandons me
I'm left here looking
At these flames
But who could set me free?
The vessel that I used to be
Is tainted now and ripped apart
Bathed in madness by the fiend
Who's robbed me of my human heart
To contemplate
This crimson hell
Is more than I can stand
Did I sin so
To see my fate
Offered up by hell's own hand?
My skin that once was golden brown

Let blood fulfill the thirst in me
The thirst that sends them to their graves
The thirst for that which I now crave
This thirst
This thirst is strong
It overpowers
All right and wrong
The thirst
I feel it coming on
The thirst
I feel it coming on
The thirst
I feel it coming on!

Sail Me Away
by Lestat The Musical Cast
When stars are born, are they cast out
To wander cold and lonely lost in space?
A loveless point of light that can't return
Forever fixed within one place
When love is lost and dreams are cast
Like bruised and battered pieces left to die,
When hands that reach out are betrayed
How can my tortured soul survive?
There's only thing left
And that's the one thing that you needed most of all,
For the freedom that you gained
Is the loss that led me aimless to the shore.
And I'm borne high on these waves
Swept by the wind and alone.
Oh, sail me away, carry me back to my home.
I'm tired, I've been torn,
A cruel, wretched storm churns like a gale in my bones.
Oh sail me away, carry me back to my home.
These scars run deep,
The future holds a hunger for your innocence
That passed away.
Your callous shadows mock
And make it clear some things
Were not enough to make you stay.
The moment time stands still
Is the moment that the writing's on the wall.
The words are clear as ringing bells,
That pride was present right before the fall.
And I'm borne high on these waves
Swept by the wind and alone.
Oh, sail me away, carry me back to my home.
I'm tired, I've been torn,
A cruel, wretched storm churns like a gale in my bones.
Oh sail me away, carry me back to my home.
To wander cold and lonely lost in space?
A loveless point of light that can't return
Forever fixed within one place
When love is lost and dreams are cast
Like bruised and battered pieces left to die,
When hands that reach out are betrayed
How can my tortured soul survive?
There's only thing left
And that's the one thing that you needed most of all,
For the freedom that you gained
Is the loss that led me aimless to the shore.
And I'm borne high on these waves
Swept by the wind and alone.
Oh, sail me away, carry me back to my home.
I'm tired, I've been torn,
A cruel, wretched storm churns like a gale in my bones.
Oh sail me away, carry me back to my home.
These scars run deep,
The future holds a hunger for your innocence
That passed away.
Your callous shadows mock
And make it clear some things
Were not enough to make you stay.
The moment time stands still
Is the moment that the writing's on the wall.
The words are clear as ringing bells,
That pride was present right before the fall.
And I'm borne high on these waves
Swept by the wind and alone.
Oh, sail me away, carry me back to my home.
I'm tired, I've been torn,
A cruel, wretched storm churns like a gale in my bones.
Oh sail me away, carry me back to my home.

Make Me As You Are
by Lestat The Musical Cast
Lestat: I cannot hide what I've become
It's clear a mother knows her son
Even though your sight grows dim, you see the pallor of my skin
The blood red eyes sunk in my face
You feel the chill in my embrace
The gothic legend of your youth stands here tonight
as God's own truth
Gabrielle: And from that truth I feel no fear
Two kinds of death are present here
Mine's the age-old act of dying
But yours is like the phoenix rising
Your mother's frail and feeble husk will soon be nothing more than dust
So let's not dwell on wasted years
My time is short, my choice is clear
Make me as you are, tear the hands off clocks
that tick away my final hours
I want to rage against the light and leave the sun behind
I want to feel the power of everlasting youth inside
Take me, give me new life
And we'll live beneath the stars
Together and forever, I beg you
Make me as you are
Lestat: This cursed gift with which I live
I know not if it's mine to give
I'm still a fledgling in this frame
I've only killed when hunger reigned
Gabrielle: The risk is mine and if we fail
I'll shake the devil by his tail.
Oh blessed thoughts of sweet release
from nagging nurse, and hovering priest.
Make me as you are, tear the wings of angels that would lift me from your heart
I want to dance beneath the moon and slip into the dark
I want to feel the night awaken when I leave my mark
Take me, give me new life
And we'll live beneath the stars
Together and forever, I beg you
Make me, make me,
Make me as you are,
both: Tear the hands off clocks that tick away my/your final hours
We'll rage against the light and leave the sun behind
And feel the power of everlasting youth inside
Gabrielle: Take me, give me new life
Both: And we'll live beneath the stars
Together and forever,
Gabrielle: I beg you
Make me as you are.

I Want More
by Lestat The Musical Cast
CLAUDIA
Don't chastise me, I'm a child
Acting as a child does.
You blind me with lifeless dolls
When what I want is blood.
You took me from the streets to complete this union
Do you expect some little saint, kneeling for communion?
I want more!
I want mo-o-o-ore!
Look at you, you disapprove
Like two fussy mothers
Who are you to criticize the habits of another?
Did I rock the family boat
by dining on the help?
Aren't I just the little beast?
Well, I can't stop myself!
I want more, I want mo-o-o-ore!
I don't want their milk and honey,
They can keep their fine herb teas.
I don't need their chocolate hot and sweet,
It's thick and red for me.
For everyone that comes along, knocking on this door,
Don't blame me, it's your fault, that I want more!
(BREAK FOR SPEECH)
CLAUDIA
Look at me, I'm so sweet,
I'm innocent and charming
But all you see is some spoiled brat,
A child so demanding
Don't fuss so!
You both know the rapture of the bite.
Is not monstrous,
It's just Claudia's healthy appetite
And I want more!
I want more!
Should I be the little miss,
And while away the hours?
I think not, I'd rather hunt
Then cut up paper flowers.
Thanks to you, the things I do
Verge on the obscene
What a pair of hypocrites
Well this cat wants her cream!
I want more!
I want more!
I want mo-o-o-ore!
(BREAK FOR SPEECH)
CLAUDIA
I wonder through the streets at night
and find a charming couple
Who fear that such an angel lost,
Could find herself in trouble
They can't resist my trembling lip
My eyes so filled with tears
They rest my head upon their neck
(Claudia Bites Her Pillow)
'Oh Dear'
Mo-o-o-ore!
I want more!
I want mo-o-o-ore!
I don't want their milk and honey,
They can keep those fine herb teas!
I don't need their chocolate hot and sweet,
It's thick and red for me.
For everyone that comes along, knocking on this door

Ill Never Have That Chance
by Lestat The Musical Cast
I have spent so many years
In fancy lace and beaded gowns,
I have set my hair a hundred ways,
My face I paint it up and powder it down.
This body bares a telling tale,
They pinch my cheek and wish me well.
for all their patronizing smiles
This frame remains a prison cell.
They look at me and what they see
Is one more painted china doll.
A sweet and cuddled good do well,
A painted fan, a sweet treat and the parasol.
Inside of me there lives someone
Who could have been somebody's wife,
Who could have seen their children grow,
Who could have had a normal life,
Who could have easily loved a man
And felt his kisses deep and moist.
Instead i get this kiss of death
And in this i have no choice,
imagine walking down the aisle,
I'll never have that chance.
A wedding dress of virgin white
The very best from France.
A cottage in the country,
The pleasures of romance,
Sunlight laying on my skin.
I'll never have that chance.
So no, I'll never have that chance...
They glide around society's swans,
With slim long necks and perfect breasts,
While i remain the frozen child,
A baby bird without the wings to leave her nest.
This body bares a telling tale,
They pinch my cheek and wish me wellFfor all their patronizing smiles
this frame remains a prison cell.
The mirror with its cruel laugh
Reflects this ageless face of mine
In taunting ways as if to say
'Childhood is not something you can leave behind.'
Inside of me there lives someone
Who never felt a mother's love,
Who could have heard the bells on sunday,
Kneeling in the church of God,
Who would have loved a rainy day
And never had to feel the fire.
Instead I hunger for the vein
That holds the life force I desire.
Pleasures of fine wines and dining
I'll never have that chance
the taste of chocolate and champagne,
The very best from France,
The arching of a rainbow
And the way the colors dance.
The miracle of giving birth,
I'll never have that chance.
Imagine walking down the aisle,
I'll never have that chance,
A wedding dress of virgin white,
The very best from France.
A cottage in the country,
The pleasures of romance.
Sunlight laying on my skin,
I'll never have that chance.
I know
I'll never have that chance...
I'll never have that chance...
In fancy lace and beaded gowns,
I have set my hair a hundred ways,
My face I paint it up and powder it down.

Welcome To The New World
by Lestat The Musical Cast
What more could one expect
Of something new?
A feast of saints and sinners
A home spun web of old beginnings,
This new world holds the most collective stew
For what indeed
Could match this popery.
Here the immigrant is plentiful,
the pagan Indian colorful,
This America seemed the ideal spot for me.
The German and the Irish flock here
With hope and family,
The melody of language fills the streets,
Like myself, there are the French
Who bring their old world common sense
While the Spanish bring their fine nobility.
Here the tribal garb, the manners
Of the free people of colour
Seems strange to me
When others are enslaved.
This New Orleans, this melting pot
Is overflowing with cast offs
Who've been dragged or freely came across the waves.
And here there's (unable to hear lyric) as they shout out the windows
'Welcome to the new world
Of the Cajun and the Creole.
Welcome to the new World.
(Unable to hear lyric) Europeans
Shake loose your prior shackles
For some good old superstition.
Welcome to the new world.
For a wealth at new beginnings.'
This port is filled with sailors
That on drunkenness and leachery
Who captor tavern filled with whores and rum
While priests run rampant blessing
Any malcontent confessor.
It's apparent they're outnumbered by the scum.
The poet and the artist
Find these mean streets most romantic,
Enchanted by the bourgeois
It's a civilized debauchery
A society built on sorcery
Who could inspire the most illiterate of beasts
And here's there's... as they shout out the windows
'Welcome to the new world
Of the Cajun and the Creole.
Welcome to The New World.
(Unable to hear lyric) Europeans
Shake loose your prior shackles
For some good old superstition.
And welcome to the New World
For a wealth at new beginnings.'
So I think for me a mansion
On some reputable plantation
Would well besuit this nouvelle pioneer.
For I'm sold upon this city
And the grand old Mississippi
and the variations of cuisine that are here
(Laughter)
(Bell tolling)
Of something new?
A feast of saints and sinners
A home spun web of old beginnings,
This new world holds the most collective stew
For what indeed
Could match this popery.
Here the immigrant is plentiful,
the pagan Indian colorful,
This America seemed the ideal spot for me.
The German and the Irish flock here
With hope and family,
The melody of language fills the streets,
Like myself, there are the French
Who bring their old world common sense
While the Spanish bring their fine nobility.
Here the tribal garb, the manners
Of the free people of colour
Seems strange to me
When others are enslaved.
This New Orleans, this melting pot
Is overflowing with cast offs
Who've been dragged or freely came across the waves.
And here there's (unable to hear lyric) as they shout out the windows
'Welcome to the new world
Of the Cajun and the Creole.
Welcome to the new World.
(Unable to hear lyric) Europeans
Shake loose your prior shackles
For some good old superstition.
Welcome to the new world.
For a wealth at new beginnings.'
This port is filled with sailors
That on drunkenness and leachery
Who captor tavern filled with whores and rum
While priests run rampant blessing
Any malcontent confessor.
It's apparent they're outnumbered by the scum.
The poet and the artist
Find these mean streets most romantic,
Enchanted by the bourgeois
It's a civilized debauchery
A society built on sorcery
Who could inspire the most illiterate of beasts
And here's there's... as they shout out the windows
'Welcome to the new world
Of the Cajun and the Creole.
Welcome to The New World.
(Unable to hear lyric) Europeans
Shake loose your prior shackles
For some good old superstition.
And welcome to the New World
For a wealth at new beginnings.'
So I think for me a mansion
On some reputable plantation
Would well besuit this nouvelle pioneer.
For I'm sold upon this city
And the grand old Mississippi
and the variations of cuisine that are here
(Laughter)
(Bell tolling)

After All This Time
by Lestat The Musical Cast
What taste is this
Upon my lips?
A taste so sweet, what can that be?
What is this scent upon the air
That fills my lungs and comforts me?
And whispers low,
How does it feel
To savor our such just revenge.
To smell the fragrance you have lost?
And drunkenly inhale his pain.
Can it be
Your countenance is stripped of all his dashing dare?
And what of your bold confidence.
Could it have drowned in your despair?
And after all this time
I wash my hands of your charade
And celebrate your fall from grace,
Preserve that sad look on your face
And praise what God might manifest
In spector beings such as us
For vengeance that at last is mine
And sweetly after all this time
If you'll allow me to recall
How my requests were swept aside,
In every instance.
I beseached you,
I was shut out and denied
Upon my lips?
A taste so sweet, what can that be?
What is this scent upon the air
That fills my lungs and comforts me?
And whispers low,
How does it feel
To savor our such just revenge.
To smell the fragrance you have lost?
And drunkenly inhale his pain.
Can it be
Your countenance is stripped of all his dashing dare?
And what of your bold confidence.
Could it have drowned in your despair?
And after all this time
I wash my hands of your charade
And celebrate your fall from grace,
Preserve that sad look on your face
And praise what God might manifest
In spector beings such as us
For vengeance that at last is mine
And sweetly after all this time
If you'll allow me to recall
How my requests were swept aside,
In every instance.
I beseached you,
I was shut out and denied

Embrace It
by Lestat The Musical Cast
Louis: Where is the glory in this new me
Where is the feeling of achievement
In the shadows of the evening...
Where is the satisfaction in your killing creed
Who am I now? I don't know
I must question my existence
And deal with your persistence
That somehow and someway you set me free
And I don't think that I can take another night
Of these instincts that I fight
This overwhelming dreadful feeling
Damned inside
Lestat: Oh God help us just look at you
Shrinking away from my point of view
Showering me with your pious pain
The gift that I gave is examined from shame
Embrace it embrace it
It makes no sense get out your strength to push your grieve aside
This pleasure your denying...embrace it
Embrace it
Louis: You seek my trust after your lies
But in this superficial splendour
The decades will seem endless
And the treasury of torment will be my bride
Lestat: Lies are these of which you speak
Are you so blinded by contrition
That you see in my position
A valued practice what I preach
I don't think that I can take another night
Of your craving for the light
This wilting flower act
That questions wrong from right
Louis: Oh God help me just look at you
Striding to hell with nothing to prove
A glorious ghost on infinities views
And if it's to be tell me what should I do
Lestat: Embrace it embrace it
Louis: How can it be that you achieve
This condition with such ease
There's none of you in me
Lestat: Embrace it embrace it
Both: So God help us you see it through
that Lucifer's angels are on the loose
Lestat: A merciful and majestic boy
The gift I was told is to be enjoyed
Embrace it embrace it
Louis: What should I do with the likes of you
Your wild and reckless ways
Your cunning to persuade
Lestat: Embrace it embrace it
Where is the feeling of achievement
In the shadows of the evening...
Where is the satisfaction in your killing creed
Who am I now? I don't know
I must question my existence
And deal with your persistence
That somehow and someway you set me free
And I don't think that I can take another night

The Crimson Kiss
by Lestat The Musical Cast
Gabrielle:
For so many years, we've shared this path together
Kindred spirits in search of history
For you, the Holy Grail is where we come from
But it's a different road I crave these days for me
You dwell so on the dawn of our creation
In search of ghosts from our mythology
For now, the wonders that the world can offer
Mean more to me than ancient family trees
To hear the waves pound the timbers of a schooner
Fighting up the coastline of Cape Horn
To travel in the shadows of the longboats
To where the giants of the Arctic Ice were born
The dangers of the deep, dark Congo River
Where the crocodile hunts and the python strikes
To watch another predator in action
Could rejuvenate some meaning in your life
The thrill to hunt in such exotic places
I can almost taste those beauties in Siam
The brown-skinned boys of Mikonos and Rangoon
The shy Chinese behind their painted fans
My need to go is hard to fight
I want to gaze upon this world
Just like the Northern Lights
And of all the things about you
That I'm going to miss
Is the bond we formed together
Through this Crimson Kiss
My son so dear, the world's out there
Mystery calls and I can't resist
But you and I have memories
Bound together by the Crimson Kiss
Lestat:
I did not give you the Dark Gift
so you could turn and walk away from me.
Gabrielle:
I gave you the gift of life
knowing that someday you would walk away from me!
Gabrielle:
The wellspring of my strength unrestricted
There's so little I could fail to endure
I could face a trek across the Himalayas
Survive the freezing mists of Scottish moors
My need to go is hard to fight
I want to gaze upon this world
Just like the Northern Lights
But of all the things about you
That I'm going to miss
Is the bond we've formed together
Through this Crimson Kiss
My son so dear, the world's out there
Mystery calls and I can't resist
But you and I have memories
Bound together by the Crimson Kiss
My son so dear, the world's out there
Mystery calls and I can't resist
But you and I have memories
Bound together by the Crimson Kiss!
For so many years, we've shared this path together
Kindred spirits in search of history

To Kill Your Kind
by Lestat The Musical Cast
ARMAND
Be still I say.
For you excel
In virtues common in the infidel.
Mongrel bitch who feels compelled
To twist the rules to suit herself.
Do you look at me and see a fool?
Do we look like we bend for the likes of you?
What posesses you to cross that line?
When you know what it means to kill your kind?
ENSEMBLE
No greater crime than to kill your kind.
No greater crime than to kill your kind.
No greater crime than to kill your kind!
Lestat
What I did to her was a sin. And I have paid the price. And it is settled between us. Claudia, it is settled!
ARMAND
This demon rides a carousel.
She swings back and forth on the gates of hell.
Just a brat from the gutter who got washed ashore.
She's a scheming witch from the belly of a whore.
So look at me and squirm inside.
Do you think in the world there's a place to hide?
From the ancient ones
To the next in line.
It's always been a sin to kill your kind!
ENSEMBLE (together with Armand)
No greater crime than to kill your kind.No greater crime than to kill your kind.No greater crime than to kill your kind
ARMAND
There's no greater sin!No greater crime!Than to kill your kind
ARMAND
Excuse me if this is unexpected.
Present company excepted.
Ignorance of what we teach
Leaves help somewhere out of your reach.
No Judas kiss is needed here.
My friends the evidence is clear.
ENSEMBLE
There's no greater crime than to kill your kind!
Armand
She set a trap. She cut him down, and even now she shows no remorse
ARMAND
Look hard upon your dirty work.
Strong blood running back from the ashes of the earth.
Correct me, but it seems your schemes
Come back to haunt your virgin dreams.
We count not here for sex and age.
Compassion is a weakness of the mortal race!
Enough is enough! I'm done so take her!
No greater crime than to kill your maker!
ENSEMBLE
No greater crime than to kill your kind.
No greater crime than to kill your kind.
No greater crime than to kill your kind!

No greater crime than to kill your kind.No greater crime than to kill your kind.No greater crime than to kill your kind

The Origin Of The Species
by Elton John
MARIUS:
Indulge me if you will, my friends
For I've a tale to spin
Of all the vampires on this earth
Of my unholy kin
I am the oldest one by far
Marius is my name
When I was born it was the time
The Roman Empire reigned...
CHORUS:
When he was born it was the time
The Roman Empire reigned
MARIUS:
Unlike you mortals as you age
The weaker you become
For us it's quite the opposite
The years just make us strong
But like you we feel pain and loss
And suffer heartbreak too
We ponder our existence
In the same way as you do
CHORUS:
We ponder our existence
In the same as you do
MARIUS:
In the myth of your Creation
There's bold Adam and sweet Eve
Temptation, and a serpent,
And the devil's apple tree.
We have Enkil and Akasha
An Egyptian King and Queen
The Mother and the Father
Of we pale and bloody fiends
CHORUS:
The Mother and the Father
Of we pale and bloody fiends
Marius, tell us more
Marius, tell us more
Tell us more, tell us more
Marius...tell us more
MARIUS:
Four thousand years ago
Before the pyramids were built
Enkil and Akasha ruled
With wise benevolence.
The splendor of Egyptian life
Was prosperous and good
But in their kingdom
Enemies were present
And so it happened that a demon
Came into the town
And took a liking to the home
Of some unfortunate
Who pleaded to wise Enkil
For his council and advice
Before his home this demon desecrated
The king in all his faith
Decided to engage the ghoul
In hopes his evil ways by chance
He might dissuade
The Queen would not allow her King
To face this deal alone
And in her choice
The hand of fate was played.
The demon tosses the furniture
His malevolence abounding
And while they pleaded to be heard
They found themselves surrounded
Assassins from the enemy
Their collective knives a-gleaming
Hacked and stabbed the royal pair
And left the bodies bleeding.
As they lay dying on the ground
The poltergeist did swoop
And entered in the wounds
Of their illustrious monarchy
Their reanimated bodies
Bore a terrifying glow
Alive to them
But dead to you and me
The demon in their veins
They gained a supernatural power
But one that left them
Sorely lack human traits
No longer to partake of food and drink
Or bear a child
Their hunger only blood
Can satiate
They could not face the blazing sun
It's magnificence was deadly
But the power of Gods and Eternal Life
Is a truly wonderful medley.
MARIUS AND CHORUS:
In the sands of Egypt to this day
Dwell Enkil and Akasha
The rulers of the Vampire race
Our loving Mother and Father...
Indulge me if you will, my friends
For I've a tale to spin
Of all the vampires on this earth
Of my unholy kin
I am the oldest one by far
Marius is my name
When I was born it was the time
The Roman Empire reigned...
CHORUS:

To Live Like This
by Lestat The Musical Cast
Armand:
Just look at you!
Who do you think you are?
To flaunt our laws with your rash ways.
To mock our rules with disregard.
Lestat:
Just look at me, well, I say look at you.
You hug these walls like half starved rats.
A filthy cowering vermin crew!
Armand:
We were born the devil's darkest
And shun your forms of gaudiness.
While you parade among the living,
We haunt the solemn world of death!
Ensemble:
We haunt the solemn world.
Haunt the solemn world of death!
You break the Dark Laws!
You'll die for your sins!
Lestat: (spoken)
Why is it a sin to walk amoung mortals?
Armand: (spoken)
You threaten the secrecy we have protected for thousands of years. We exist to strike fear into the hearts of men. Our Dark
Laws forbid us to seek mortal pleasures, or enter their holy places, or go about as one of them!
Armand:
Your presence here is poison in our veins!
Your human traits sour our beliefs.
Your arrogance should be your shame!
Ensemble:
Your arrogance,
Arrogance,
Arrogance!

dead.
Armand:
Beware this smooth tongued libertine.
He'll share with you his grand demise.
Lestat:
See his logic crumple like a corpse.
No god or monster rules your lives!
Lestat: (spoken)
And there it is. Your Dark Laws are lies. A cross can't harm you! This sad ghost has held you in a grip of fear and
superstition for far too long. Everything he has taught you to believe is a lie!
Lestat:
Trust in me.
There is no need
For anyone to live like this, and not believe.
The night holds more than darkness and the stars.
Don't fear the world out there, because of who you are.
Just free yourselves and you will see
There is no need to live like this.
No need!
Armand: (spoken)
Whatever happens in years to come, remember this was his doing. I gave you sanctuary, Laurent. I gave you purpose! And he
destroyed all of it! This is finished, but you and I have only begun.
Lestat:
Trust in me.
There is no need
For anyone to live like this and not believe!
I can only give you hope, not show you how.
The chains that held you fast
No longer bind you now.
Just trust yourselves and you will see
There is no need to live like this.
You're free!
Just look at you!
Who do you think you are?
To flaunt our laws with your rash ways.
To mock our rules with disregard.

So God, it's come to this?
Every bit of me is broken!
My body, my mind, my heart!
What more do you want from me?
What? I didn't ask for this!
And you allowed it to happen!
You allowed me to become this creature of the dark!
What do you want me to say?
That I accept what I am?
I accept! I am evil!
And I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Forgive me, Nicolas.
Forgive me, Louis.
Forgive me, Claudia.
Forgive me, Gabrielle, mother.
I am alone. But that is how it must be.
