Song: Only Darkness Has the Power
Spent the night in Sophie's bed
It became impossible for me to leave
I had been born to be with her
She made me better than I was before
Only darkness has the power (X2)
And darkness is what surrounds me so I can
Open my heart to the world
The young genius is dead
But his work will live on and on
His childhood friend
Rescued the beautiful young widow
Only darkness has the power (X4)
I was so nervous
I shook my head
It was a struggle but there was
Pleasure at the end
I'm not going to explain myself
It's not that important to me
Do you trust me to tell the truth
Do you trust me?
Only darkness has the power (X2)
And darkness is what surrounds me so I can
Open my heart to the world
Nothing left but a final curtain call
This is where the story should end
The two of us living happily
But I doubt that this will happen
Only darkness has the power (X7)
