These Eyes / The Man Is Dead
[Mercedes:]Oh Lord, my heart is beating faster
And my mind is in desperation
Can it be?
Can it be you returned?
How his gaze is secretly lusting for me
Dark, full of desire and deep as the ocean
This face seems to familiar to me
Just bereft of its youth and softness
What is it that makes you hesitate?
A whisper is enough
So close, yet inaccessibly far away
I see a man lying to himself
Torn apart by endless silence
[Monte Christo:]
The man is dead
Nothing has remained
He died a little every day
Deep underground at Château d'If his coffin is rotting
You are confused
He isn't here
No matter what you see
Dead and cold he soon was
A little history
Of love
And how to betray it
[Monte Christo (& Mercedes):]
I am a ghost (In this gaze...)
A false dream made up of old pictures of him (... pictures of him...)
(Dark, full of desire and deep as the ocean)
The man is dead (Like this gaze...)
Nothing has remained
But still this pain is tormenting me (... this pain is tormenting me)
[Monte Christo (& Mercedes):]
Won't you release me and set my heart free
What is it that makes me hesitate?
A whisper is enough
So close, yet inaccessibly strange
Has love succumbed to destiny?
Too much has been broken...
Too many scars...
For this silence to tear us apart...
