about

Inspired by Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein", the first track of the series "The Demon Inside", features Dee, Jacob and Theo acting out a recreation of the famous story.

Written as a rock ballad, and featured early in the first episode, this song is designed to deliver on the implicit expectations of a series called "Musical Book Revue"

lyrics

‘The Demon Inside OR I remember a time’
DEE
I remember a time
When my friend was one I knew
When our love could see us through
When the world was ours for the taking
And Viktor’s smile inspired mine

JACOB
I remember a time
When Elizabeth said my name
And in her eyes the same
Feeling that the world was ours for the making
I should have seen the signs

That tell of a man on the brink
Who has a choice to make; to sink
Or fly on the hopes and dreams he made for her
But my choices made me fade from her
When I embraced the Demon inside

THEO (+DEE, JACOB)
I remember a time
Waking to a world unknown
Beginning life all alone
And nothing ever changing
The world’s hatred inspired mine

Cast away and hated (Time to live, to love)
Born to one who has been fated
To endure the cold rejection
Of this world A world
For taking, making
This cruel gift of life D: His smile inspired mine
My Losing fight J: Her love endured time

THEO
I will be with you on your wedding night

JACOB
I had not seen my future coming
I had left my past behind
The cold touch of fate I ignored
And troubled not was my mind

To see the creature live that day
Showed me what my fate could be
I had wished I would not find it
But now it had found me

(Falls over)
