Sympathy For The Abyss (Film Version) Song Lyrics
Sympathy For The Abyss (Film Version) by Sparks [Henry:]
I'll sing these words to you
I hope they will ring true
They're not some magic chimes
To cover up my crimes
Annette, of this I'm sure
Imagination's strong
And reason's song
Is weak and thin
We don't have long

I stood upon a cliff
A deep abyss below
Compelled to look, I tried
To fight it off, God knows I tried
This horrid urge to look below
But half-horrified
And half-relieved
I cast my eyes
Toward the abyss, the dark abyss

I heard a ringing in my ears
I knew my death knell's ugly sound
The overbearing urge to gaze
Into the deep abyss, the haze
So strong the yearning for the fall

Imagination's strong
And reason's song
Is weak and thin
We don't have long

[Annette:]
I'll never sing again!
Shunning all lights at night
I'll never sing again!
Smashing every lamp I see
I'll never sing again!
Living in full darkness
I'll never sing again!
A vampire forever!

[Henry:]
Annette! No!
No, no
Annette, Annette, no

[Henry and Annette:]
I sang these words to you
Can I forgive what you have done?
I hope that they'd ring true
And will I ever forgive Mom?

Imagination's so strong
Her deadly poison I became
And reason's song is never strong
Merely a child to exploit!

Imagination is so strong
Forgive you both?
And reason's song
Forget you both?
So faint and shrill
To take that oath?
I stood above
The deep abyss
To take that oath?

[Annette:]
Why should I now forgive?
Why should I now forget?
I can never forgive!
I can never forget!
Both of you were using me for your own ends
For your own ends
Not an ounce of shame
The two of you, you're both to blame

[Henry and Annette:]
I wish that both of you were gone
Wish you were gone!
No don't blame Ann!
Wish you were gone!
Annette that's wrong
Wish you were gone!
No don't blame Ann!
Both of you gone!

But is forgiveness the sole way
This horrid urge to look below
When all has gone so far astray
God knows I tried, to fight it off
Half-horrified, and half-relieved
To extract the poison from one's heart
And from one's soul, I can't be sure
I cast my eyes down the abyss

Forgive the two of you or not?
I take this oath
Sympathy for the dark abyss
Forgive you both?
I take this oath
Sympathy for the dark abyss
I take this oath
Forgive you both?
Or forget you both?
Don't cast your eyes
Down the abyss
Annette please don't
I must be strong
I must be strong!

[Guard:]
Time's up! No contact!

[Henry and Annette:]
Now, you have nothing to love
Why can't I love you?
Can't I love you?
Now, you have nothing to love
Can't I love you, Annette?
No, not really, Daddy, it's sad but it's true
Now you have nothing to love

[Henry:]
Annette, my Annette...
Never cast your eyes down the abyss

Goodbye, Annette
Goodbye, Annette
Goodbye, Annette
Goodbye, Annette
Goodbye

Stop watching me
