[RUDOLF]
So long I've dreamed
That you would at last turn my way
That I'd be deemed
Worthy of hearing what you say
But you deny
The truths you know like your own name
That the world is dying
That you've stopped trying
And that you and I, we are the same
ย
But if I were your mirr'r
Then you might see yourself in me
And maybe you could hear
The thoughts I do not dare set free
But you turn your back
Because you don't like what you see
ย
Our eyes align
And without fail you glance aside
A simple sign
That you don't care how hard I've tried
We're strangers, and yet
Our bloodlines hold us in thrall
I try to show you
I want to know you
But between us, you've built a wall
ย
But if I were your mirr'r
And show you want you want to see
Then you might keep me near
Then maybe you would notice me
ย
[ELISABETH]
What's this disturbance?
What's wrong?
Why are you here?
ย
Mama! I need you!
ย
Here in my darkest hour
I fear I finally see the end
This is beyond my power
My heart has nothing left to spend
Let me confide in you
Before I'm crushed beneath this weight
ย
[RUDOLF] [ELISABETH]
I can see no escape | Don't speak
This empty life has laid me bare | Don't tell me
My final hopes lose shape | I can't help you break free
And Father does not even care
ย
[RUDOLF]
But if you only
Begged him for mercy
It might not be too late
ย
[ELISABETH]
The emperor, I have forsaken
And my resolve will not be shaken
I will not beg
No, not even for you
ย
[RUDOLF]
And so! You have abandoned me.
