Act One

Scene One

::ones takes two steps forward and other remain::

one: now we begin and these we feel all to true let not your eyes but only your souls guide you....

::all move to stage front one first to stage center::

::two to ones right and three to ones left::

::one to center stage lip::

::head bowed::

one: it was such an endless night back in those days that the sun never really seemed to arise in the day, and the night was forever and we exploited it for what we could. we ran ramped in the dusk and took all that we had in lust

::two from stage right to ones left::

two: to all that knew us we were dead to begin... our onslaught sought for no redeem and they cast us out to the streets and into the sewers where our hatred steamed.

::three from stage left to ones right::

three: there we toiled and there we died in the agony of what we were and in the pain of what we could never have, we died with no glory and had only remorse, we tried to died but fate held its course.

all: we are the deathless ones, those who must endure all that time is and all that it shall be, only to watch and rive and grieve in agony.

two: we shall forever watch, burdened to see...

one: with eyes closed tight only the soul shall see...

all: we are the deathless ones those who watch and remain undead... we watch with out seeing and feel with no hearts, we guide not and effect no change, but here we sit and here we shall remain tormented forever overseeing in vain...

one: these scenes we open because we are unclosed

two: unfinished we fold and remain in pain

three: the days are dark and in them we are in vain

all: we twist, we die and in the end we lie

one and two: endless lovers all to one

All:: ::look up eyes closed:: we begin the cry

One: you ::points into crowd with right hand:: you may be the product of what may seem to be right, but for what it may seem you are a bastard and will drown in your life

All: ::extend right hand pointing at the crowed:: we speak for truth and in these lines find the inner meaning, the gross malignant truth that holds behind thine eyes in thine heart :: voices raise together till all shout:: thine heart of stone of trespassing indignant rage, of in the inner working you have been found wrong and hated in these indecent longings...

::all heads bowed::

::nearly a whisper::

all:

the end came closing

quiet in the pain,

we screamed not aloud

but it screamed in vain,

the power in its merciless cry

the passion of its death,

::heads raised::

::eyes closed::

you will enter here to see what's left...

::lights drop to black on "left"::
