- Lavinia: Amanda Somerville -
I really need to talk to you

- The storyteller: Tom Baker -
I wish I could tell you that
Henry and the townspeople
Managed to save our poor Daniel
But alas, it was not to be
Days later, a somber crowd gathers for
Daniel's funeral
And under all the sadness
Tensions are running high

- Soprano: Dianne van Giersbergen -
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo

Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo
Oooo-oooo-oooo

Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo

Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo
Oooo-oooo-oooo

- Lavinia: Amanda Somerville -
She came to us
That frightful night
She said she killed him
Or at least implied

Then I saw his face

- Soprano: Dianne van Giersbergen -
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo

- Lavinia: Amanda Somerville -
The very moment he died
From out of nowhere

- Soprano: Dianne van Giersbergen -
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo

- Lavinia: Amanda Somerville -
He materialized

- Soprano: Dianne van Giersbergen -
Oooo-oooo-oooo

- Henry: Paul Manzi -
It must be a sign
I know, I sensed him too
He needs us to know — she did it (she did it)
I will see justice done
I will lay his soul to rest
And the whole world will know — she's guilty

- Soprano: Dianne van Giersbergen -
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo

Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo
Oooo-oooo-oooo

- Lavinia: Amanda Somerville -
Am I going mad?
I even feel his pain
Please don't dismiss me
I know it sounds insane

- Lavinia and Henry: Amanda Somerville & Paul Manzi -
We need a plan
He must be avenged
Only we can free him
On us he depends

- Henry: Paul Manzi -
You have to be strong
There's no time for compassion
You must be released — from the screaming
You know when she's gone —
A fortune waits for you
And you can let go
Of your demons!

- Lavinia: Amanda Somerville -
But how far must we go
Can we really be so sure
They all seem convinced
But didn't see it
Can we live with ourselves
If we learn that we were wrong!
I know she confessed — but did she mean it?

- Soprano: Dianne van Giersbergen -
Oooo
Oooo-oooo
Oooo-oooo-oooo
