Hamlet! The Musical - Frailty, Thy Name Is Woman
Okay, so, betwixt many moments in the last couple days, Ciara and I have decided it would be the bitchin'est thing ever to write Hamlet! The Musical. It will be called "The Secret Parts of Fortune" (it's an innuendo: fate's cunt, basically). But since, for now, I don't feel like writing my own music for something I'm just doing for fun, I'm compiling other people's songs and am revamping the lyrics to fit Hamlet. Yeah, I know, not really writing it, then. Doesn't count. But whatever, it's still fun as hell!

"Give Me a Sign" - Breaking Benjamin
Hamlet lyrics (Breaking Benjamin lyrics)
Sleepless nights, I cannot fight. (Dead star shine, Light up the sky)
My father is dead; (I'm all out of breath)
I wish I were with him. (My walls are closing in)
Uncle by night, father by light, (Days go by, Give me a sign)
Incestuous beds, (Come back to the end)
How tragic is this end? (The shepherd of the damned)
Chorus:
I can see him breathing still! (I can feel you falling away)
No longer as dead, no longer kill'd! (No longer the lost, No longer the same)
And yet I see her turning away, (And I can see you starting to break)
even before (I'll keep you alive)
the end of the day. (If you show me the way)
How could she? My mother? (Forever - and ever)
Was he not enough? (the scars will remain)
I'm falling apart, (-)
can see my father's spirit in the dark. (Leave me here forever in the dark)
Blast mine eyes,(Daylight dies)
All hope in me dies.(Blackout the sky)
She's weak and she's cold.(Does anyone care?)
My father loved her so.(Is anybody there?)
He gave her so much,(Take this life)
She drank in his touch.(Empty inside)
Oh God, he loved her,(I'm already dead)
how can I remember?(I'll rise to fall again)
Chorus
God help me I've come undone (-)
Out of the light of the sun (-)
God help me I've come undone (-)
Out of the light of the son (“sun”)
Chorus
God, give me strength,(Give me a sign)
There’s so much wrong in this place. (There's something buried in the words)
God, give me strength (Give me a sign)
The love they shared has left no trace. (Your tears are adding to the flood)
Oh, God, give me strength! (Just give me a sign)
There’s so much wrong in this place (there's something buried in the words
God, give me strength! (Give me a sign)
The love they shared has left no trace. (Your tears are adding to the flood )
Oh, God, give me strength! (Just give me a sign)
There’s so much wrong with this place. (There's something buried in the words )
God, give me strength (Give me a sign)
The love they shared has left no trace. (Your tears are adding to the flood)
How could she? My mother? (Forever - and ever)
Was he not enough? (The scars will remain)
