[Henry:]
I'll sing these words to you
I hope they will ring true
They're not some magic chimes
To cover up my crimes
Annette, of this I'm sure
Imagination's strong
And reason's song
Is weak and thin
We don't have long
I stood upon a cliff
A deep abyss below
Compelled to look, I tried
To fight it off, God knows I tried
This horrid urge to look below
But half-horrified
And half-relieved
I cast my eyes
Toward the abyss, the dark abyss
I heard a ringing in my ears
I knew my death knell's ugly sound
The overbearing urge to gaze
Into the deep abyss, the haze
So strong the yearning for the fall
I'll sing these words to you
I hope they will ring true
They're not some magic chimes
To cover up my crimes
Annette, of this I'm sure
Imagination's strong
And reason's song
Is weak and thin
We don't have long
I stood upon a cliff
A deep abyss below
Compelled to look, I tried
To fight it off, God knows I tried
This horrid urge to look below
But half-horrified
And half-relieved
I cast my eyes
Toward the abyss, the dark abyss
I heard a ringing in my ears
I knew my death knell's ugly sound
The overbearing urge to gaze
Into the deep abyss, the haze
So strong the yearning for the fall
