Work Text:

Darkling-front

Darkling-back

The Longer I Live performed by James Barbour
From Frank Wildhorn's "Dracula"

The longer I live the more I wonder
If I know anything at all

Loving You Keeps Me Alive performed by Thomas Borchert
From Frank Wildhorn's "Dracula"

If loving you keeps me alive
Then how can leaving me be right?
Turn back and let me love you
Stay with me and let us dance into the night

Music of the Night performed by Paul Nicholas
From Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera"

Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight

Sei Mein Licht performed by Unheilig
From the album "Puppenspiel", music and lyrics by Der Graf
(Yes, I know it's not a musical, but I just couldn't not include the song that says "Be My Light")

Sei mein Licht und mein Blick
Der mir zeigt wo ich bin
Sei mein Wort und mein Herz
Das mir sagt wer ich bin
***
Be my light and my sight that shows me where I am,
be my word and my heart that tells me who I am.

Farewell Good Angel performed by James Barbour
From Paul Gordon's "Jane Eyre"

I was wrong when I deceived you
But there was no other way

Waltz from “The Masquerade” performed by London Symphony Orchestra & Stanley Black
From Aram Khachaturian's "The Masquerade" orchestral suite

Falcon in the Dive performed by Terrence Mann
From Frank Wildhorn's "The Scarlet Pimpernel"

All those tremulous stars still glitter,
and I will survive.
Let my heart grow colder
and as bitter as a falcon in the dive.

How Long Must This Go On performed by Terrence Mann
From Alan Menken's "Beauty and the Beast"

How long must this go on?
This cruel trick of fate?
I simply made one careless wrong decision

If I Can’t Love Her performed by Josh Groban
From Alan Menken's "Beauty and the Beast"

No pain could be deeper
No life could be cheaper
No point anymore, if I can't love her

Where’s the Girl performed by Terrence Mann
From Frank Wildhorn's "The Scarlet Pimpernel"

Don't forget I know who you are
We were cut from the same surly star,
Like two jewels in the sky sharing fire

Der Letzte Tanz (English cover) performed by M K N R
From Michael Kunze and Sylvester Levay's "Elisabeth"

You turn your back on me, or at least you try.
You tell yourself you're faithful, yet here am I.

Rise Up written and performed by Ben Barnes

Warm the world, but have some faith in me
And I shall burn beneath you all my days
