(In which the boyhoods of Dr. Knox and William Hare mold their decrepit destinies) “...From my earliest childhood I have been a dreamer and a visionary.... I have dwelt ever apart from the visible world. Well did I come to know the presiding dryads of those trees, and often have I watched their wild dances in the struggling beams of a waning moon – but of these things I must not now speak. I will tell only of the lone tomb in the darkest of the hillside thickets....” - H.P Lovecraft, The Tomb Dr. Knox: Mem'ry haunts me clearly The winter of my thirteenth year Wind moaned through headstones dreary A siren song only I could hear A fevered brain infected Where terrors spawned each night A young man grew dejected A waking dream, a fright amongst frights Dr. Knox: Though my symptoms at last abated And the coughing fits did surcease An insalubrious nature gestated Breeding malaise, a subtle disease Narrator: Then with each passing breath In life, he dwelt in death Dr. Knox: This truth I now confess: Dr. Knox: A morbid mind obsessed Unhealthy thoughts depressed By cryptic dreams possessed To ever dwell among, the lifeless Letras de canciones Lifeless! Hare: A casket-builder's low-born boy Child of the grave in name and fact Grey days and nights in dark employ Set destiny 'pon its deathly path Hare: Dismissed as morbid youth Obsessions quite uncouth Led to unpleasant truths Hare / Dr. Knox: A morbid mind obsessed Unhealthy thoughts depressed By cryptic dreams possessed To ever dwell among, the lifeless As all life ends in death So with each passing breath My destiny professed To ever dwell among, the lifeless Dr. Knox: Into the family crypt, I stealthily crept Knowing not what I sought 'mongst the mold and the rot A sight that was not soon forgot And as I lay in the grave, finding the solace I'd craved At peace there with the decayed, though they called me depraved It was there a dark path was paved Solo - Matthew Harvey Solo – Michael Burke Dr. Knox / Hare: A morbid mind obsessed Unhealthy thoughts depressed By cryptic dreams possessed To ever dwell among, the lifeless As all life ends in death So with each passing breath A destiny professed To ever dwell among, the lifeless Lifeless!
