if you ever find a moment, spare a thought for me.
for godâs sake, whatâs going on up there?
thereâs no one there, and if there is it must be a ghost!
lord heavens, i have never known such insolence!
youâve been here five minutes, what do you know?
these things do happen! all the time!
you⊠youâre as bad as him!
oh god in heaven, youâre all obsessed.
⊠but perhaps you could afford more?
remember me every so often, promise me youâll try.
[ NAME ], this is doing nothing for my nerves.
it was always clear that this was never meant to be.
think of august, when the world was green.
donât think about the way things might have been.
imagine me trying too hard to put you from my mind.
there will never be a day when i wonât think of you.
she may not remember me, but i remember her.
you must change, and i must get my hat.
things have changed, [ NAME ].
stay by my side, guide me.
my soul was weak, forgive me.
look at your face in the mirror, i am there inside.
come to me, strange angel.
my power over you grows stronger, yet.
you turn from me, to glance behind â
those who have seen your face draw back in fear.
i have needed you with me.
i remember, there was mistâŠ
who is the shape in the shadows?
damn you, you little prying pandora!
is this what you wanted to see?
now you cannot ever be free!
can you even dare to look or bear to think of me?
but [ NAME ], fear can turn to love.
you must be always on your guard.
[ NAME ], hold your tongue.
your devotees are on their knees to implore you!
can you bow out when theyâre shouting your name?
think of how they all adore you!
can you deny us the triumph in store?
heaven help you, those who doubt.
this is a game you cannot hope to begin!
so, it is to be war between us?
do you really think thatâs wise?
if he knew the truth, heâd never, ever go!
why have you brought us here?
donât bring me back there.
[ NAME ], iâve been there.
what you heard was a dream and nothing more.
those pleading eyes, that both threaten and adore...
no more talk of darkness.
iâm here, nothing will harm you.
iâm here, with you, beside you.
say youâll love me every waking moment.
say you need me with you now and always.
promise me that all you say is true, thatâs all i ask of you.
all i want is freedom, and you always beside me.
say youâll share with me, one love, one lifetime.
anywhere you go, let me go too.
[ NAME ], thatâs all i ask of you.
say the word and i will follow you.
love me, thatâs all i ask of you.
i must go, theyâll wonder where i am.
you will curse the day you did not do all that i asked of you!
you can fool any friend who ever knew you.
what a night, what a crowd!
think of it⊠a secret engagement.
why is it secret? what have we to hide?
itâs an engagement, not a crime!
[ NAME ], what are you afraid of?
you will understand in time.
did you think that i had left you for good?
my instructions should be clear.
there are worse things than a shattered chandelier.
your chains are still mine.
donât ask me, i know no more than anyone else!
you were once my companion.
you were all that matteredâŠ
sometimes it seemed if i just dreamed, somehow you would be here.
why canât the past just die?!
teach me to live⊠give me the strength to try.
no more memories⊠no more silent tears.
no more gazing across the wasted years.
who is it there, staring?
have you forgotten your angel?
[ NAME! NAME! ] listen to me!
letâs see how far you dare go!
[ NAME ], are you confident this will work?
i hate to have to cut the fun short, but the jokeâs wearing thin.
the trap is set and it waits for its prey.
you have come here in pursuit of your deepest urge.
our games of make-believe are at an end.
abandon thought and let the dream descend.
past the point of no return ... the final threshold.
what warm unspoken secrets will we learn?
you have brought me to that moment where words run dry.
i have come here, hardly knowing the reason why.
in my mind iâve already imagined our bodies entwining ⊠defenseless and silent.
now i am here with you, no second thoughts.
when will the blood begin to race?
the bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn.
lead me, save me from my solitude.
say you want me with you here beside you.
no, [ NAME ], no! you stay here!
no kind word from words from anyone, no compassion anywhere.
[ NAME! NAME, ] why? WHY?!
have you gorged yourself at last in your lust for blood?
pity comes too late, turn around and face your fate.
this haunted face holds no horror for me, now.
itâs in your soul that the true distortion lies.
wait, i think my dear, we have a guest!
this is indeed an unparalleled delight!
i had rather hoped that you would come.
please, [ NAME ], it's useless!
your lover makes a passionate plea.
i love her! â does that mean nothing?!
the world showed no compassion to me!
did you think that i would harm her?
why should i make her pay for the sins that are yours?
start a new life with me.
this is the choice. this is the point of no return.
the tears i might have shed for your dark fate grow cold and turn to tears of hate.
[ NAME ], forgive me â please, forgive me!
either way you choose, he has to win.
i fought so hard to free you.
you deceived me! i gave my mind blindly.
you try my patience. make your choice.
what kind of life have you known?
god, give me courage to show you; you are not alone.
forget me, forget all of this.
go, now! donât let them find you!
swear to me, never to tell!
