Lyrics

[Lyric Note] Scene IV The Netherworld / hospital room As the dust settles, Cassius and Pollock appear tattered and bloodied, floating in a grey nothingness [Narrator] Soon as you were born, you were aborted Cast away Child of moral doctrine and rape— Lord knows, the monsters that marriage makes Lost wolves void of direction Head south, thrown in corrections They gave you no name, gave you no name They gave you no name [Lyric Note] The mysterious ether dissolves, and Cassius and Pollock slowly vanish. We see an old man, in the twins' image, rolled in on a gurney. The setting is now a modern day hospital room [Narrator] A lifetime of brawling with demons Makes a fallen man Even on his deathbed he's beaten Pinned by his fiendish inner twin Such turmoil in your head Will it never let you rest? [Lyric Note] Young Cassius enters, and walks over to bedside [Narrator] Blank cake, a blank birth certificate Blank boy made a decision They gave you no name, gave you no name So, you'll give yourself a name: [Young Cassius] I am Gemini [Narrator] A twin star burst into being [Young Cassius] I am Gemini [Narrator] Splattered on the orphanage ceiling The other children ran off in terror On your dying day, does absolution even work? On this, your dying day, do you curse the universe... Do you wish you never were? [Lyric Note] The man dies. Young Cassius disappears. A loud crack of thunder rumbles as the hospital scene, now divided by a large fissure across the floor, splits into two halves spiraling backwards into an abyss [Narrator] Lost twin screaming in the attic No remedy, no respite You gave him no name, you gave him no name So, he gave himself a name [Lyric Note] —curtain descends, slowly
