Lestat The Musical movie - Make Me As You Are lyrics

rate me

<br>

Lestat: I cannot hide what I've become <br>

It's clear a mother knows her son <br>

Even though your sight grows dim, you see the pallor of my skin <br>

The blood red eyes sunk in my face <br>

You feel the chill in my embrace <br>

The gothic legend of your youth stands here tonight <br>

as God's own truth <br>

<br>

Gabrielle: And from that truth I feel no fear <br>

Two kinds of death are present here <br>

Mine's the age-old act of dying <br>

But yours is like the phoenix rising <br>

Your mother's frail and feeble husk will soon be nothing more than dust <br>

So let's not dwell on wasted years <br>

My time is short, my choice is clear <br>

Make me as you are, tear the hands off clocks <br>

that tick away my final hours <br>

I want to rage against the light and leave the sun behind <br>

I want to feel the power of everlasting youth inside <br>

Take me, give me new life <br>

And we'll live beneath the stars <br>

Together and forever, I beg you <br>

Make me as you are <br>

<br>

Lestat: This cursed gift with which I live <br>

I know not if it's mine to give <br>

I'm still a fledgling in this frame <br>

I've only killed when hunger reigned <br>

<br>

Gabrielle: The risk is mine and if we fail <br>

I'll shake the devil by his tail. <br>

Oh blessed thoughts of sweet release <br>

from nagging nurse, and hovering priest. <br>

Make me as you are, tear the wings of angels that would lift me from your heart <br>

I want to dance beneath the moon and slip into the dark <br>

I want to feel the night awaken when I leave my mark <br>

Take me, give me new life <br>

And we'll live beneath the stars <br>

Together and forever, I beg you <br>

Make me, make me, <br>

Make me as you are, <br>

<br>

both: Tear the hands off clocks that tick away my/your final hours <br>

We'll rage against the light and leave the sun behind <br>

And feel the power of everlasting youth inside <br>

<br>

Gabrielle: Take me, give me new life <br>

<br>

Both: And we'll live beneath the stars <br>

Together and forever, <br>

<br>

Gabrielle: I beg you <br>

Make me as you are.<br>
