Frankenstein-A New Musical World Premiere Cast
Track 9: Your Father’s Eyes
[Father]:
A young man is silently crying in fear
No one to aide him, for nobody hears
Except for an old man, a country apart
His father, alone, knows the pain in his heart

I know, my son, you are troubled today
You've journeyed too far, and perhaps lost your way
You wonder if ever you'll find your way home
But as long as I breathe you are never alone

However far you roam, or what you do
There always is one person who believes in you
It matters not the road you choose
For one thing you can never lose
You'll always be the light that shines
Within your father's eyes

[University Official, spoken]:
I'm afraid there is insufficient evidence to charge you with any misconduct, Frankenstein. You may resume your studies here, but I strongly urge you to pursue a path that will not result in any further destruction

[Victor, spoken]:
Thank you, sir. Rest assured, I have no desire ever to return to science

[Father]:
Life can be hard, it can break you in two
Each turn of the card, and bring heartache anew
And even the strongest of man wither under its hand
But it sometimes can ease the pain
To know that somewhere in this world there's someone who cares
One man understands
[Elizabeth, spoken]:
I pray this letter reaches you Victor, for you must return to us at once. Expect tears and sorrow upon your arrival, for our beloved William... your dear brother... is dead

[Father]:
Though you may lose the world
And all you've gained
Your father will be there to share your every pain
Whether you have lost or won
Forever you will be my son
You'll always be the light that shines within your father's eyes
Within your father's eyes

[Elizabeth, spoken]:
And our fortune grows worse still, for it is believed that William was murdered, by...

[Justine, spoken]:
Justine Moritz, William's governess and our faithful servant. She was found with the locket that I had given to William... the locket used to strangle him... with blood upon it. She protests her innocence, but she is not believed, for she claims to have seen...

[Henry, spoken]:
...Some kind of monster, a fiend from some other world — the talk of a madwoman. Surely someone must know something that can explain this travesty! ...Victor!

[Victor]:
It lives, and somehow has found us!
The fiend that has haunted my nightmares!
