10. Scene Seven: II. One Last Time (3:47)
- Nicholas -
(Present)
It doesn't make any sense
This tragic ending
In spite of the evidence
There's something still missing
Heard some of the rumors told
A taste of one's wealth
Did Victoria wound his soul?
Did she bid him farewell?
- Victoria -
(Past)
One last time
We'll lay down today
One last time
Until we fade away
One last time
We'll lay down today
One last time
We slowly fade away
Away
- Nicholas -
(Present)
Here I am inside his home
It holds the many clues
To my suspicions
And as I'm standing here right now
I'm finally shown what I have always known
Coincidence I can't believe
As my childhood dreams slowly come true
Are these her memories?
Awakened through my eyes
This house has brought back to life
An open door
I walk on through
Into his bedroom
Feeling as cold as outside
The walls disappear
To some woman who's screaming
A man pleads forgiveness
His words I cannot hear
(Present)
It doesn't make any sense
This tragic ending
In spite of the evidence
There's something still missing
Heard some of the rumors told
A taste of one's wealth
Did Victoria wound his soul?
Did she bid him farewell?
- Victoria -
(Past)
One last time
We'll lay down today
One last time
Until we fade away
One last time
We'll lay down today
One last time
We slowly fade away
Away
- Nicholas -
(Present)
Here I am inside his home
It holds the many clues
To my suspicions
And as I'm standing here right now
I'm finally shown what I have always known
Coincidence I can't believe
As my childhood dreams slowly come true
Are these her memories?
Awakened through my eyes
This house has brought back to life
An open door
I walk on through
Into his bedroom
Feeling as cold as outside
The walls disappear
To some woman who's screaming
A man pleads forgiveness
His words I cannot hear
