Prologue/Lost in the Darkness

Leslie Bricusse, Frank Wildhorn
UTTERSON:
In each of us there are two natures. If this is primitive duality of man "“ good and evil "“ could be housed in separate identities, life would be relieved of all that is unbearable. It is the curse of mankind that these polar twins should be constantly struggling.
JEKYLL:
Lost in the darkness,
Silence surrounds you.
Once there was morning,
Now endless night.
If I could reach you,
I'd guide you and teach you
To walk from the darkness
Back into the light.
Deep in your silence,
Please try to hear me;
I'll keep you near me
Till night passes by.
I will find the answer.
I'll never desert you
I promise you this
Till the day that I die...
