Paroles: Forgive Durden. Razia's Shadow: A Musical. Doctor Doctor.

Spiders, come here
Who's there?
Someone's here

Welcome to my humble abode
Please don't mind the mess
Just nest yourself down comfortable
Let the doctor do the rest

Dear ghost, you look white as a sheet
Just have yourself a seat
Open wide and say, ah
Let the doctor take a peek

Now I must admit I knew you'd come
Boy, it is love
Elope to save her from disease
Wash your hands off her blood

I don't want to alarm you
But you certainly are ill
Stricken with a sickness
Deadly enough to kill

Even the strongest man
Would drop dead where he stands
I urge that we make haste
If you are to stand a chance

Spiders scalpel, forceps
Hope's breath
Just a pinch, spiders, now just a pinch
That was too much

Now what you got ain't no quick fix
It ain't no common cold
What you need's a bonafied
Doctor's miracle

Now the thing about miracles
Is that they don't grow on trees
They don't fall from the sky
You need a doctor like me
It just ain't easy

Lucky for you, you found me
So the rest should be no fuss
But before we get to savin' lives
There's a few things to discuss

Now I'm sure you're wonderin'
What's in it for me?
Surely I would not perform
These miracles for free

I'm not askin' for a lot
It won't cost you a dime
I just want the princess here with me
Till the end of time

I promise to take care of her
More rather, she'll take care of me
For the rest of her life in the dark, fulfilling
Doctor's fantasies

I can't do this
But you must, princess
Sign my life away

It's the only way, trust me
I know how this must go
Just do what the doctor says

He mixed elixirs and filters
Pried scrolls and read excerpts
He spoke in foreign phonetics
And read runes from ancient relics

Stirred ointments with potions
And unctions with doses
He whisked it until smoke rose
And seeped into her nose

The illness had relinquished
The doctor had fixed it
The cleansing accomplished
Their love was free to flourish

But before it could sink in
The front door was kicked in
Standing in it's place was Pallis
Driven by malice, he had barged in
To challenge Adakias, to prove their love

Their word wouldn't be enough
Pallis needed it in blood
