Immortal Kiss

Lyrics:
Faustus:
Is this the face that launched a thousand ships?

Helen:
Come to me
wandering child
take my hand
I have been waiting so long
& now that you’re here
Please your wish
in my immortal kiss

Lucifer:
Fall with me

Chorus:
Helen:
Falling angel
I will protect you from the fire

Good Angel:
Falling angel
reach for me
stay with me

Good Angel:
There was a time
by calm starlit night
when you’d draw me so near
and I’d hold you til dawn
& hush all your fears
Please remember
upon this poisoned kiss

Lucifer:
Fall gently with me

Chorus:
Helen:
Falling angel
I will protect you
from the fire

Good Angel:
Falling angel
reach for me

Helen/Good Angel:
Stay with me

Good Angel:
My guiding light
still shines
for you

Helen:
the angel of light loves you

Chorus:
Helen/Good Angel:
Falling angel
I will protect you
from the fire
Falling angel
reach for me
stay with me

Immortal Kiss
