b>Jagman:
So we meet again my dear Professor King
And all because this girl
Likes the colour of my money
So easy, so ready, so pleasing

Eva:
Let me kill this girl, I knew she was a fraud
Let me take the tongue and rip it from her jaws

King:
No Eva!

Jagman:
Well Samuel, you are certainly hard to kill, although it seems we had rather more success with Amelia Darves.

King:
Henry, is there nothing I can say to dissuade you from your intentions?

Jagman:
Nothing at all. But you shall be my guests: To bear witness to my achievement!

Gardelle:
Why would you do that to as Jessamine... why?

Jessamine:
What did you suggest I do with my life?
How would you suggest I spend all this money?
Why do you imagine a girl such as me
Could begin life anew
Staying loyal and true
To believe that is really quite funny

King:
Try to remember that all may not be as it seems

Eva:
How could anything justify what she has done?

King:
Perhaps there is more to this treachery
More than you choose in your heart to believe

Eva:
What did you expect she would do with her life?
What did you expect from this treacherous witch
How do you believe that a girl such as this
Could find shame in her heart
I could see from the start
She's a Judas, a thief and a bitch

King:
Be careful what you wish for
Be careful what you search for
I see a dark horizon, rushing in like poison
Be careful what you wish for
Be careful what you crave for
You may release a cruel force
Can you really be so damn sure?

Jagman:
This is my taste of victory
Soon I'll be part of history
Bow to my utter mastery - Praise in the gods
You will be watching my success
Lord Henry Jagman at his best
More power than any man possessed
Praise to the gods

Ensemble:
Something fantastic will happen tonight
To transform the world and to change all our lives
No chance that tomorrow the sun will arise
On a day unaffected by what greets our eyes

King:
What Jessamine has done was to act on my orders
I paid her to help Jagman find us so he would be
Bloated with triumph, brimming with pride
He will force us to stand at his side

He is a preening idiot: Perhaps we can get stop him
Jagman: Throw the beggar out, the rest will attend the ritual

King:
Be careful what you wish for
Be careful what you search for
I see a dark horizon, rushing in like poison
Be careful what you wish for
Be careful what you crave for
You may release a cruel force
Can you really be so damn sure?

Jagman:
This is my taste of victory
Soon I'll be part of history
Bow to my utter mastery - Praise to the gods
You will be watching my success
Lord Henry Jagman at his best
More power than any man possessed
Praise to the gods

Ensemble:
Something fantastic will happen tonight
To transform the world and to change all our lives
No chance that tomorrow the sun will arise
On a day unaffected by what greets our eyes

Something fantastic will happen tonight
To transform the world and to change all our lives
No chance that tomorrow the sun will arise
On a day unaffected by what greets our eyes
Day unaffected by what is revealed to our eyes
