Dark Shadows
Liverpool 1760
It is said that blood is thicker than water
It is what defined us, bind us
curses us
Come on, Barnabas
For some learn the mean the life
over wealth and privilege
for others a life of solitude
Angelique, how many times do
I tell you not to stare at him
Remember your place
When I was but a boy
My father took us to the new world
To expand the Collins family empire
We brought English
industry to the wild maine
and build a fishing business the like
of which America had never seen
One year later
A man should take pride in what he builds
But remember, Barnabas
Family is the only real wealth
As our business grew
The town of Collins Port grew with it
and we decided to put
down permanent roots
We spent the next 15 years
building our beloved home
Collins Wood
But not everyone share
in our family success
love
Let me hear you say I love you,
Angelique and I want you
Angelique, I am sorry my dear, but..
make the high and mighty
Arrogant creatures down you go
The links to my parents
were no accident
magic and ancient curses
behold upon the gates of hell
If I saw the characters alone
Blessed upon the satan true name
Myvestvuolas
But even then in my depth of my grief
not all was darkness,
I have found my one true love
promise me we'd be together forever
God is my witness Josette.
I swear it
Of all the servants I could have sperm
all the hearts that I could have broken
I got the one secret
I got the Witch
if he dug another true
love to relent his heart
And I and Magic shall dis-might
his youth so all he loves will
die
Caught in Angelique spells
My beloved Josette
wanders helplessly to those hill
where many of the despondent
soul have leap to their death
Josette
Josette
Josette
Help me
Josette
What have you done?
Angelique had curse me to be a vampire
so that my suffering would never ends
There is the monster
Result that I would
never belong to her
Angelique turn the towns
people against me
And condemned me to suffer
for all time
Let me out I say
Release me

his side and never care what I feel

- She can't
- Enough David

of being immortality,
fascinating really

to a slightly different
dimension than ours
and I think some people have antenna
strong enough to pick them up
There's actually scientific
evidence to support...

Some specter approaches
Is it the eyes of the devil himself
