Paroles: Soundtrack Artists. Make Me As You Are.

Lestat: I cannot hide what I've become
It's clear a mother knows her son
Even though your sight grows dim, you see the pallor of my skin
The blood red eyes sunk in my face
You feel the chill in my embrace
The gothic legend of your youth stands here tonight
as God's own truth

Gabrielle: And from that truth I feel no fear
Two kinds of death are present here
Mine's the age-old act of dying
But yours is like the phoenix rising
Your mother's frail and feeble husk will soon be nothing more than dust
So let's not dwell on wasted years
My time is short, my choice is clear
Make me as you are, tear the hands off clocks
that tick away my final hours
I want to rage against the light and leave the sun behind
I want to feel the power of everlasting youth inside
Take me, give me new life
And we'll live beneath the stars
Together and forever, I beg you
Make me as you are

Lestat: This cursed gift with which I live
I know not if it's mine to give
I'm still a fledgling in this frame
I've only killed when hunger reigned


Gabrielle: The risk is mine and if we fail
I'll shake the devil by his tail.
Oh blessed thoughts of sweet release
from nagging nurse, and hovering priest.
Make me as you are, tear the wings of angels that would lift me from your heart
I want to dance beneath the moon and slip into the dark
I want to feel the night awaken when I leave my mark
Take me, give me new life
And we'll live beneath the stars
Together and forever, I beg you
Make me, make me,
Make me as you are,

both: Tear the hands off clocks that tick away my/your final hours
We'll rage against the light and leave the sun behind
And feel the power of everlasting youth inside

Gabrielle: Take me, give me new life

Both: And we'll live beneath the stars
Together and forever,

Gabrielle: I beg you
Make me as you are.
