OFFICIAL
By royal edict, warrant of arrest:
The killer known as Edward Hyde
Being under suspicion of rape, murder
And the arts of Hell
Anyone found harboring or helping him
Will be charged as well
Congregant: All through the city, at more fevered pitch
Than the call of the Scotland Yard...
JEKYLL
Two gold pieces for the one who leads us to Edward Hyde!
CONGREGANT
Utterson's men sought Edward Hyde, the killer
With the might of the Scotland Yard...
JEKYLL
Four gold pieces for the one who leads us to Edward Hyde!
CONGREGANT
Till at last, they were told of a brothel
Where they sometimes hid people from harm...
But the madam, that whore
Denied it and swore by the Saints
The Saints of the Scotland Yard...
SOLDIRES: We're looking for Mr. Edward Hyde.
Madam: Never heard of him.
JEKYLL: If you want your house to remain standing, give us Edward Hyde.
Madam: I know nothing of Edward Hyde.
JEKYLL: Very well. We'll set fire to it. Burn it. Did you hear me, Jekyll?
LUCY: And he held the torch
That crackled like the killer's voice...
JEKYLL: Are you disobeying a direct order?
LUCY: And he knew this was the moment
He must make a choice...
JEKYLL: I knew it. He's bewitched you, too. You would throw away a promising career? John? Carry out the order!
UTTERSON:
And I live on forever, with Satan by my side!
JEKYLL
Kyrie Eleison
God have mercy on your soul
Do away with this seditious ingrate.
UTTERSON
And as his gun, the soldier drew
Who should appear - the killer Edward Hyde
He hurled a stone, the bullet flew
And then they both escaped into the dark...
JOHN
Don't stand there, get them! I don't care if you have to burn down all of London!
Hunt down the killer Edward Hyde
Don't let him flee
And vanish in the night
These are the flames of Edward Hyde
While he is free
Our torches will burn bright
UTTERSON /JEKYLL
Hunt down the killer Edward Hyde
Let/Don't let him flee
And vanish in the night
These are the flames of Edward Hyde
While he is free
Their/Our torches will burn bright
JEKYLL
What have I done for Edward Hyde?
Why do I hear his voice inside my head?
Why do I think of Edward Hyde?
With my career and prospects left for dead
Once more my duty calls
London is burning
Lit to expose that furtive pair
Sneaking about out there...
UTTERSON
Somewhere he is lost...
UTTERSON/ JEKYLL
Edward Hyde!
JOHN /JEKYLL
Where is the killer called Edward Hyde?
The flames grow tall
And sharp as fleurs-de-lis
All London burns for Edward Hyde
And still it all
Comes down to him and me
JEKYLL
The devil dwells in Edward Hyde
UTTERSON
I've got to find him...
JEKYLL
Resist his charm
UTTERSON/ LISA
Wake up the city and sound the alarm!
JEKYLL / SOLDIERS
Wake up the city and sound the alarm!
LUCY / CHORUS
Wake up the city and sound the alarm!
ALL PRINCIPLES
These are the flames of Edward Hyde
The night is singing
Of Edward Hyde
Even the call of the Scotland Yard!
