Finale: The Writing on the Wall Original Broadway Cast of The Mystery of Edwin Drood (Ft. Betty Buckley)

[DROOD, spoken]
I'm alive!

(sung)
I am Laz'rus, risen from the grave!
Quite alive you find me -
This tomb behind me
Is where I faced my closest shave!
When I struck my head against the street
I was stunned, not stricken -
Our plot doth thicken -
As Jasper flew me off my feet

To the crypt
I awoke in dark beyond belief
And while all above me showed their grief
I was screaming for my very breath
Only moments from death

You have no idea the sudden strength
That you feel within you
The steel and sinew
When death stands smiling at arms-length
I escaped! From Cloisterham I fled
And I did not return here
'Til I could learn here
Just who in hell would wish me dead
