I will not lie
I wished Ned to die
Twice dead am I
ย
A man could spit in twain
Yet to all eyes remain
A soul genteel who can conceal
The venom in his vein
And if he draws upon the pause
In madness opium smoke supplies
Why this great surprise?
That our two men and me
And cunning bright is he
Who hides himself, resides himself
Where I've no eyes to see
But now I think he's at the brink
Of breaking through the door
I'm in, he's out
I'm out, he's free
I'm free, I'm me once more!
How many times I killed that Drood upon my flights
My flights that burst the smug presumption of his rights
His rights as heir
His right to share my Rosa's bed
It took no smoke for me to picture Edwin dead
That night I filled myself a flask of laudanum
And then, to toast my Ned and Neville, I drank some
That's when my greatest flight of fancy did take place
I watched my hands outstretched
Towards Edwin's pale, white face
And in the moonfall
I saw my fingers
Clutching his neck so tightly
Touching my sleeve
He fell so lightly
Moonfall
Then fell on me
But God, the deed was much too easily done
As much as over once it had begun
Such tragedy, to finally make the kill
And now to awake to taste the thrill
Now I've confessed
Now we both can rest
