Final Curtain

00:01:53 After hours in the theater,

00:02:29 even though I don't know what it is I seek.

00:03:02 this night, when all the others had gone.

00:03:47 Couldn't it have been that some unseen thing

00:04:30 Why do I pay so much attention to the scream of a cat?

00:05:33 What is this, this blackness I face here in the theater,

00:06:09 these unseen spirits would return to die and re-die,

00:08:22 I look out, over the darkened auditorium.

00:09:24 another guide lamp goes out,

00:10:18 that had become lodged in the pipes,

00:10:45 and the auditorium walls begin,

00:11:15 to any character nameable,

00:12:24 I take the metal of the guide rail in my hand,

00:13:08 I climb slowly,

00:14:07 that only the night can answer, and I must learn.

00:15:18 of pleasant things,

00:15:53 as the rail on the staircase,

00:16:34 the dummy of a vampire in her long flowing gowns,

00:17:24 enjoying this new sensation.

00:18:09 She is smiling, her lips are drawn apart,

00:18:42 I couldn't have imagined it,

00:19:32 looking across this last room,

00:20:10 I can't make it out for the moment,

00:21:24 forever.
