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 wideThrough mystery and faithSo trust in me, your guiding lightAnd I will keep you safeWalk on straight through the darknessThen make the choice of the devilFor this is the choice that is trueYield to the angels not once but twiceThen dance with the devil just one more timeBut the final dance is for angels aloneGardelle:We have newsEva:We found these papersGardelle:We overheard them talkingEva:Be prepared to be… amazed…confounded…Surprised…astoundedGardelle:We never guessed what that alchemist had doneHe had us chasing shadows – had us on the runKing:Be calm my friends and speak more clearlyEva: Here…read this.Gardelle & Eva:We did not fully grasp the cunning of the manHe know that soon he’d die, so he drew up a planThe journey that he took was more about his healthThe artefact we seek is Anzeray himselfKing: 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 maidShe did not want him thereShe would not have him stayHe sought to elevate his standing in her eyesBy revealing that the cemetery in HighgateHolds the prizeEva: 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…
