Daniel’s Funeral

Lyrics

[Lavinia: Amanda Somerville] "I really need to talk to you." [The storyteller: Tom Baker] "I wish I could tell you that Henry and the townspeople managed to save our poor Daniel, but alas, it was not to be. Days later, a somber crowd gathers for Daniel's funeral and under all the sadness, tensions are running high." [Lavinia: Amanda Somerville] She came to us That frightful night She said she killed him Or at least implied Then I saw his face The very moment he died From out of nowhere He materialized [Henry: Paul Manzi] It must be a sign I know, I sensed him too He needs us to know — she did it (she did it) I will see justice done I will lay his soul to rest And the whole world will know — she's guilty [Lavinia: Amanda Somerville] Am I going mad? I even feel his pain Please don't dismiss me I know it sounds insane [Lavinia and Henry: Amanda Somerville & Paul Manzi] We need a plan He must be avenged Only we can free him On us he depends [Henry: Paul Manzi] You have to be strong There's no time for compassion You must be released — from the screaming You know when she's gone — A fortune waits for you And you can let go Of your demons! [Lavinia: Amanda Somerville] But how far must we go Can we really be so sure They all seem convinced But didn't see it Can we live with ourselves If we learn that we were wrong! I know she confessed — but did she mean it?
