To Life
Henry Armitage (spoken):
Good heavens, are these human cadavers?
Herbert West (spoken):
Indeed they are
Henry Armitage (spoken):
What on earth do you intend to do with them?
Herbert West:
To life, to life, I'll bring them!
I'll bring all these dead men to life!
Prudence Armitage:
He's found a way for surviving them--
Herbert West:
Really reviving them
Prudence Armitage:
He can do it!
To life, to life, he brings them
Herbert West:
I really do bring them to life
I have a genius with chemicals--
Prudence Armitage:
Also polemicals
Herbert West:
Yes, it's true, there's been strife
Henry Armitage:
This is really the most shocking
Thing I've ever heard, and I have heard a few
Prudence Armitage:
Oh, it's really not so shocking
If you were a dead man, you might like it too
Herbert West:
To life, to life, I'll bring them!
With one small injection
Like this!
Prudence Armitage:
Think of it, Papa, we'll never die
Live for forever--
Henry Armitage:
My!
Herbert West:
'Cause I bring them to life!
Henry Armitage (spoken):
Well, I must say, this is amazing
Herbert West (spoken):
I began experimenting on small animals of various kinds and perfected a solution which reanimates dead tissue
Prudence Armitage (spoken):
See, Papa?
Henry Armitage (spoken):
Yes
Herbert West (spoken):
When I was sure my solution worked, I began to test it on human subjects
Prudence Armitage (spoken):
Here, Papa
Henry Armitage (spoken):
Hmm, that is fascinating
Herbert West (spoken):
And in the end I was even able to convince Dr. Halsey that my methods were sound
Prudence Armitage (spoken):
And here he is!
Dr. Halsey:
To life, to life, he brought me
Herbert West:
Ha. I brought Dr. Halsey to life
Of course I first had to kill the man
With some ingenious plan
Prudence Armitage:
He just shot him--
Herbert West:
Okay, it's true, I shot him
I shot him, but brought him to life!
He has no reason to want to live
I do: she's yours to give
Prudence here, as my wife!
Prudence Armitage:
Oh Papa dear, I want to marry Herbert
Since he has a power
Once reserved for God
Henry Armitage:
I never could say "no" to you, my darling
Even though young West should face a firing squad!
All three:
To life, to life, we'll bring it!
Prudence Armitage:
A marriage--
Herbert West:
For better--
Henry Armitage:
Or worse
Prudence & Herbert:
And if that life has no quality
Still there's the quantity
We will bring it to life!
Dr. Halsey:
Die die die (repeated for thirty seconds)
Wa ga naghl f'thagn
Death is sweet to some fhtagn
Dance and know that even death can wither and die
Wa ga naghl f'thagn
Death will surely come to fhtagn
Dance and know that even death can wither and die
Halsey & Zombies:
Even life eternal is not time enough to see
All the folly and despair of all humanity
Wa ga naghl f'thagn
Death will surely come to fhtagn
Dance and know that even death can wither and die
Hey!
