Leslie Bricusse – Jekyll And Hyde Concept Album - Transformation lyrics

JEKYLL
September 13th. 11:56 pm. I have started this alone... and I must finish it alone.
There is no longer a choice... I know that I must use myself as the subject of the experiment.
No, there is no choice!
I must put aside the fears I feel inside
There's no place to hide.
So it comes to this
One last final chance that only I can take
Now everything I've fought for is at stake!

Like a warning light, glimmering in red,
Like crimson bloodshed, shimmering in red,
Beautiful and strange,
See the colours change before my eyes!
See how they dance and they sparkle
Like diamonds at night ...
Leading out of the darkness and into the light!

11:58 pm. Consumed 10 centiliters of Formula HJ 7. Salty, bitter taste. Stings the tongue.
Warm in the gullet. Heat spreading strongly through my veins. A slight feeling of euphoria.
Light-headedness. No noticeable behavioral differences.

I must be wise,
I must try to a***yze each change in me,
Everything I see.
How will it be?
Will I see the world through different eyes?

Now the die is cast - nothing left to do,
Time alone can prove my theories true.
Show the world ...

My God! - What's this?

Something is happening - I can't explain -
Something inside me, a breathtaking pain,
Devours and consumes me
And drives me insane!
Suddenly - uncontrolled -
Something is taking hold
Suddenly - agony -
Filling me - killing me!
Suddenly - out of breath -
What is this - is this death?

Suddenly - look at me!
Can it be?
Who is this creature that I see?!
