Clive Nolan - Highgate lyrics

Jagman: My friends we are gathered to celebrate The shadowy side of life And what better setting than here Bathed in the moon's brooding light My friends enjoy the festivities Dance like there's fire at your feet I wish I could share this night with you all But I have a quest to complete I search for an answer to mysteries Far beyond power and wealth And soon you will witness the fruit of my dreams Even greater than life itself Be patient my friends, I'll return Be patient my friends, I'll return Carpe Noctem… Seize the night Amelia: By reading the curves and the lines on your palm I know what the future will bring The answers to all of the questions you dread And the cost of your virtues and sins Your head, your heart, your house, your land Is drawn in paths across your hand Amelia & Chorus: Don't run away…don't run away Let us uncover your fate Amelia: The intricate Web of God's glorious plan Is laid out and clear to my eyes Just trust in my readings and I will reveal How the map of your destiny lies Female Chorus: Show us, show us what is to be Show us, show us what do you see Male Chorus: Unleash your muse, set light to the fuse Reveal who will win Full Chorus: Expose who is destined to lose Amelia: A journey of length lies in store for you sir It will lead to the place of your dreams Your lifeline is long but your luck not so strong Your wife is not all that she seems Your head, your heart, your house, your land Is drawn in paths across your hand Amelia & Chorus: Don't run away…don't run away Let us uncover your fate Gardelle: Look for the angel Eva: Search for the harp Gardelle, Eva & King: Time is slipping away King: The moon is full Gardelle, Eva & King: We must follow the signs to the grave Gardelle: Hope is so fragile Eva: Only once chance Gardelle, Eva & King: We must not let it fade King: The moon is full Gardelle, Eva & King: We must follow the signs to the grave Amelia: The clues are as plain as the nose on your face You can see them yourself if you look Your future is etched on the palm of your hand It is here like a vast open book Your head, your heart, your house, your land Is drawn in paths across your hand Amelia & Chorus: Don't run away…don't run away Don't run away…don't run away Gardelle: I will watch over this reveling crowd You go and find this Skull in the ground Eva: I see it…it's over there! Gardelle: Get to it fast, there are too many eyes Someone is bound to see through our disguise King & Eva: Here she stands, this marble angel Harnessing the brightness of the moon Eva: It's gone…the Skull has been taken! King: We were too late. Jagman was here first. Eva: So, what is left for us to do now? King: There is still one more artefact to acquire. We must travel to the German Confederation. We can still prevent the Anzeray resurrection, but we have to leave…immediately! Chorus: Carpe Noctem…Carpe Noctem Seize the night – To hell with the consequence Carpe Noctem – Carpe Noctem Seize the night – Embrace the experience Gardelle: It's time for us to go Amelia: I have not found Jagman yet! Gardelle: He has already fled this place, he is long gone Amelia: No! The road to enlightenment shows us the way To insight beyond our beliefs Amelia & Chorus: We follow the signs without fear or dismay For something that makes us complete Your head, your heart, your house, your land Is drawn in paths across your hand Amelia & Chorus: Don't run away…don't run away Let us uncover your fate
