KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I'LL BE THERE WITH YOU

WHAT ARE THESE VOICES THAT YOU HEAR

ARE THEY TOO FAR OR FAR TOO NEAR
WHAT ARE THESE THINGS THAT ECHO FROM THE PAST

WHO ARE THESE GHOSTS YOU SEE AT NIGHT

THERE IN THE SHADOWS OF YOUR LIFE
THEY ONLY LIVE BY THE LIGHT YOU CAST

I'LL KEEP YOUR SECRETS

I'LL HOLD YOUR GROUND
AND WHEN THE DARKNESS STARTS TO FALL
I'LL BE AROUND THERE WAITING
WHEN DREAMS ARE FADING
AND FRIENDS ARE DISTANT AND FEW

KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I'LL BE THERE WITH YOU

I'LL BE AROUND
WHEN THERE'S NO REASON LEFT TO CARRY ON
AND EVERY DREAM YOU'VE EVER HAD IS GONE
AND THE DARK IS DEEP AND BLACK WITHOUT A SOUND
AND EVERY STAR HAS BEEN DRAGGED TO THE GROUND
KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I WILL BE AROUND
KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I WILL BE AROUND

[Beethoven says to Fate that it is now clear to him that it was his deafness that was the cause of all his
unhappiness. "Remove this infirmity and my whole life will turn out right. If I had not gone deaf I would still

[Fate assures him that it can be done but once again feels she must warn him of the consequences. She
points out that before his deafness his career was more concentrated on live performance than on
composing. The Muses of music had always been speaking to him but it was only after he became deaf
that he could clearly hear their voices. "Your live performances were brilliant but they lasted but a
moment, while your compositions will echo forever."]

[She then shows Beethoven himself slipping deeper and deeper into his pit of total silence, but all the
while the Muses continue to whisper in his ear.]

13. Dark

[THE MUSES]

FEEL THE DARKNESS SMILING

EVERY NOTE IS DYING
SILENCE IS REFINING
EVERY THOUGHT IN HIS HEART

STILL THE FATES ARE WEAVING

EVERY NOTE THAT'S BLEEDING
AS HE SITS THERE SEETHING
ALL ALONE IN THE DARK
ALONE IN THE DARK
ALONE IN THE ...
