No One Must Ever Know

October 7th, after midnight
The experiment is out of control
The transformations are starting to recur of their own accord
I cannot bear much more

The beast has taken a heavy toll, not only on me, who can yet be saved
But on others, who cannot
I remain convinced there is a way to counteract the effects of the formula
But I must have new chemicals for the antidote soon

Every day they say they will be delivered, but still they do not come!
I dare not leave this place, I am dangerous
More dangerous than any wild animal stalking its prey!

No one must ever know
What I have done!
For if anyone does
All my work is undone!
And I must gain control
Of this monster inside
In the name of the people who've died!

But how do I deal
With a foe I can't see
Who whenever he wants
Takes possession of me?
In the battle of wills
That is raging inside
Will I end up as me, or as Hyde?!

Could it be?
Have I really lost my way?
Have I lost my mind?
Will I lose the day?

Am I a good man?
Am I a mad man?
It's such a fine line
Between a good man and a bad

Somehow I have to get back
To the place where my journey started
Find the course I charted
When I first departed!

Somehow I have to hang on
To the vision that first inspired me!
To the hope that fired me
When the world admired me!

I'll find a way back to the higher ground!
And see the view I saw before!
I'll search the world until the answer's found!
And then success will pound upon my door!

Somehow I have to rebuild
All the dreams that the winds have scattered
From what fate has shattered
I'll retrieve what mattered!

Somehow I've got to go on
Till the evil has been defeated!
Till my work's completed
I will not be cheated!

God! You must help me carry on!
When it seems all hope has gone
I have got to carry on!
