Lyrics

So still the shadow of a woman lies The future sleeping in her form Dare I free her from her death Quicken now her pulse and breath And make her once again reborn? Why does the knife quake in my fingers? Why is my heart an empty shell? What if she awakes like him Murderous and vile within An angel banished into Hell? No! I've come too far to turn back now The darkness will not be denied And now the Modern Prometheus Is ready to create this bride! Do not delay, Victor. For I will be ever watching and when your labors are through I shall appear to claim what is mine Heed my wishes. You may be my creator, but I am your master Obey I've gone too far to turn back now There's nothing left I need decide I am the Modern Prometheus Ready to create this bride What heresy have you devised Is this the science you conceived With Nature's every law defied What good could ever be achieved? The power of life and death rests in my hands, Henry I dared before at Ingolstadt But this time will be different. She will be different! The question is not what you can do The question is what you should do! I've gone too far to turn back now And soon you'll see I'm justified I am the Modern Prometheus Ready to create this bride! One mustn't try to act like God! Prometheus was merely myth And if you toy with Nature's course Your fate will be the same as his! I cannot believe what I am hearing A great discovery is near Lesser men can wait behind Paralyzed of heart and mind But I am not afraid to dare! We'll change the course of history Please see beyond your petty fears I was once a dreamer Now I'm man's redeemer We're on the verge of new frontiers! This is going to be perfect (It's gone too far to turn back now) (Can't you see what you've begun?) God is here on Earth (My wishes shall not be denied) (This science is insanity) I am the Modern Prometheus (And now the Modern Prometheus) (You're not the Modern Prometheus) Bear witness to her birth! (Is ready to create my bride) (You cannot save humanity) The destiny of humanity will not be stayed, Henry! I will not allow you to destroy yourself, Victor! I will do everything in my power to see that this abomination is exposed and brought to an end! No!
