Clive Nolan - Waiting for News lyrics

King: You know what to do? Jessamine: You can rely on me Professor… I will not let you down. King: I am sure of it. Amelia: Is there news? King: Not yet, but it is still early. They will return soon, I have no doubt. What is that melody? I have heard you sing it before. Amelia: This is my father's legacy. He left me nothing but some scattered memories, a mountain of debts and this simple lullaby. The song has no apparent meaning but in difficult times, it brings me peace. Paths of life go far and wide Through mystery and faith So trust in me, your guiding light And I will keep you safe Walk on straight through the darkness Then make the choice of the devil For this is the choice that is true Yield to the angels not once but twice Then dance with the devil just one more time But the final dance is for angels alone Gardelle: We have news Eva: We found these papers Gardelle: We overheard them talking Eva: Be prepared to be… amazed…confounded… Surprised…astounded Gardelle: We never guessed what that alchemist had done He had us chasing shadows – had us on the run King: Be calm my friends and speak more clearly Eva: Here…read this. Gardelle & Eva: We did not fully grasp the cunning of the man He know that soon he'd die, so he drew up a plan The journey that he took was more about his health The artefact we seek is Anzeray himself King: So it is “The Skull of Thomas Anzeray”…ingenious. The power to open this gateway comes from him. He was always part of the equation. Eva: The journal was in Italy… the Stones are in the German Confederation and the Skull is in England. King: Yes, but where? Gardelle & Eva: There's more! We overheard Ben Greaves bragging to the maid She did not want him there She would not have him stay He sought to elevate his standing in her eyes By revealing that the cemetery in Highgate Holds the prize Eva: At midnight tomorrow, the full moon will shine through the harp of an angel's statue. It will point to the place where the Skull is buried. Gardelle: Jagman has organized some kind of celebration for the Hellfire Club and he intends to claim the artefact under the cover of the festivities. King: Then we must attend this party ourselves. We will need disguises… let us consider our options…
