The Sacrifice / No Turning Back (Reprise)

WITCH
 As night falls and day ends
 The veil drops, our path bends
 The stars turn, aligning
 Here dream and truth are intertwining
 BROWN JENKIN
 The fabric of the cosmos is a ragged cloth
 WITCH
 Weaving through it means we must appeal to
 Azathoth
 We followed lines and curves and now they've
 brought us here
 To share his awesome might beyond the spheres
 WITCH + BROWN JENKIN + REVELERS
 Oh, oh, oh, whoa!
 BROWN JENKIN
 Walpurgis Night is here!
 We bow in prostration
 WITCH
 Now before us lies a naked babe
 BROWN JENKIN
 The blood of innocence flows in his veins
 WITCH
 To know the truth we have to pay this price
 He shall be our sacrifice
 WITCH + BROWN JENKIN
 The time has come
 WALPURGIS REVELERS
 Ia!
 WITCH + BROWN JENKIN
 This must be done
 WALPURGIS REVELERS
 Ia!
 WITCH + BROWN JENKIN + REVELERS
 We chant aloud in exultation
 Our Lord is real
 WALPURGIS REVELERS
 Ia!
 WITCH + BROWN JENKIN
 To him we kneel
 WALPURGIS REVELERS
 Ia!
 WITCH
 I raise my knife
 BROWN JENKIN + REVELERS
 Fhtagn!
 GILMAN
 And bring damnation!
 ELWOOD
 Gilman was horrified, Father. He saw the missing baby
 there on the witch's altar, a huge knife, a ritual bowl,
 and something in him finally snapped free.
 FATHER IWANICKI
 Thank God for that!
 GILMAN
 I see now it's madness
 My heart fills with sadness
 This evil consumes me
 Forbidden knowledge only dooms me
 WITCH
 Don't forget you signed your soul away
 BROWN JENKIN
 Never dream that you'll forget the things you've seen
 today
 GILMANGod I never thought the truth would be a curse to
 learn
 WITCH
 You can travel space and time but you cannot return
 GILMAN
 No! No! Oh, no, no, no!
 BROWN JENKIN
 We're gonna see him bleed!
 GILMAN
 The spell is now broken
 The quest for knowledge shouldn't be denied
 Until it turns into the sin of pride
 The Devil's curving lines will not bind me
 I'll trust a holier geometry
 Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name!
 To God I pray
 BROWN JENKIN
 You've lost your way
 GILMAN
 This crucifix is my salvation
 WITCH
 No turning back
 WITCH + BROWN JENKIN
 We will attack!
 GILMAN
 Thy Kingdom come
 Thy will be done!

 Walter?
 Walter sacrificed himself, Father. Even as he heard the
 chanting coming from Meadow Hill, he wrenched the knife
 from the old woman's claws, sending it clattering away
 into some nether world within his dream. She and Brown
 Jenkin fought back with tooth and nail, and as she choked
 him he felt the chain of the crucifix grinding into his neck.
 He pulled it free and his own hands reached out for the
 witch's throat. Before she saw what he was doing he had
 the chain of the crucifix twisted around her neck!
 GILMAN
 Don't back away
 There's hell to pay, yeah!
 The time has come
 This must be done
 And now you'll know extermination!
 BROWN JENKIN
 You'll never win!
 GILMAN
 Forgive my sin
 She senses death
 And takes her final breath!
 WITCH
 Don't look away, the time has come
 Can't you see I'm your reflection?
 My spirit withers, this life undone
 My demise, our intersection
 Kill me and I will ascend
 And in my place you'll descend
 There's no turning back
 There's no turning back
 WITCH + GILMAN
 There's no turning back
 GILMAN
 There's no turning back
 BROWN JENKIN
 Don't think you'll prevail
 As her breath exhales
 Soon, when I return
 Your soul will burn
