In the Light: A Faustian Tale (Highlights from the World Premiere Studio Cast Recording)
Let Go of Me
Johann, you betrayed us. Johann, how could you?
Johann... Johann
God in Heaven
(Ahhh...)
What is this wall rising so tall?
Voices of burning scholars?
Crying my name, I was the same but shunned them
Should I jump in? Let it begin
Sear me until I'm worthy
There they all lurk, flashing my work before me
So calmly, gently
I'll step inside and turn to dust, then let go of me
(Johann... Johann... Johann
Ahhh...)
How do they burn? I want to learn
How I can reach their stature
Biting the air without a care or worry
Look at them fly joining the sky
Ready to touch its beauty
Knowing their place in its embrace forevеr
So somehow, some way
The light could hold mе
As I learn to let go of me
My faithful loving wife, what if you don't return?
How could I continue on?
I should have burned!
Now I will burn!
Look at this flame, how we're the same
Now I will dance with demons
Here face to face, I will embrace the darkness
Soon in a flash turn into ash
Rising into the heavens
Learning to fly, saying goodbye forever
Then calmly, gently
My soul will finally be at peace
Yes, somehow, some way
This burning flame reveals my fate
To let go of me
Johann... Johann
