Make me as you are

Lestat:
I cannot hide what I've become
It's clear a mother knows her son
Even though your sight grows dim, you see the pallor of my skin
The blood red eyes sunk in my face
You feel the chill in my embrace
The gothic legend of your youth stands here tonight as God's own truth

Gabriela:
And from that truth I feel no fear
Two kinds of death are present here
Mine's the age-old act of dying
But yours is like the phoenix rising

Your mother's frail and feeble husk will soon be nothing more than dust
So let's not dwell on wasted years
My time is short, my choice is clear

Make me as you are, tear the hands of clocks that tick away my final hours
I want to rage against the light and leave the sun behind
I want to feel the power of everlasting youth inside
Take me, give me new life
And we'll live beneath the stars
Together and forever, I beg you
Make me as you are

Lestat:
This cursed gift with which I live
I know not if it's mine to give
But out of love I can't refuse
With much to gain, nothing to lose

Gabriela:
The risk is mine and if we fail
I'll shake the demons by their tails
And spit into the devil's face
And say hell's now worse than this place

Lestat
I'm still a fledgling in this frame
I've only killed when hunger reigned
Death was final in my wake,
but yes, this is the chance we'll take

Gabriela
Oh blessed thoughts of sweet release
from nagging nurse, and hovering priest
To rid myself of stoop and cane
To breath without this burning pain

Make me as you are, tear the wings of angels that would lift me from your heart
I want to dance beneath the moon and slip into the dark
I want to feel the night and waken when I leave my mark
Take me, give me new life
And we'll live beneath the stars
Together and forever, I beg you
Make me, make me,

razem:
Make me as you are, tear the hands of clocks that tick away my final hours
I want to rage against the light and leave the sun behind
I want to feel the power of everlasting youth inside
Take me, give me new life
And we'll live beneath the stars
Together and forever, I beg you
Make me as you are

I beg you, make me as you are
