You recognize this chord progression, don't you? hehehehe
Fun fact: I made this before Love Is A God lmao.
I love this song so much and really wish we could've finished it with Bedelia's VA at least. This was the callback song for her so I KNOW it would've slapped. That aside, I hope you enjoy this one.
--lyrics--
WILL GRAHAM: I look at my wife and I see her dead. I see Mrs. Leeds and Mrs. Jacobi lying where Molly should be.
BEDELIA DU MAURIER: Do you see yourself killing her?
WILL GRAHAM: Yes. Over and over.
BEDELIA: It’s hard to predict the brittle breaking
Or when Hannibal will do his taking
He’s given you three years to build a family
A life he’ll guarantee to end in tragedy
WILL: He has already taken so much
Everything I love has ended in blood
BEDELIA: He uses aggression to maintain order
WILL: What has he taken from you? What horrors?
BEDELIA: Hannibal intends to kill me himself
He’s already taken every dear thing I’ve held
His next desire is to eat me
And he’s in no position to do that now
WILL: If you play you pay
BEDELIA: And you’ve paid dearly
You survived the first time, but the next comes swiftly
It excites him to see you marked in this way
It puts his influence on public display
WILL GRAHAM: Why?
BEDELIA DU MAURIER Why do you think?
WILL GRAHAM Bluebeard's wife.
WILL: Secrets sworn to keep
If you wish to stay intact
BEDELIA: If I’m to be Bluebeard’s Wife
I’d have preferred to be the last
WILL GRAHAM: Is Hannibal in love with me?
BEDELIA: Could he feel a stab of pain?
And hunger for you every day?
A feeling he cannot explain
From rationality, it pulls him away
For love, he’d give his blood, his life too
As he gave up his freedom for you
You were refreshing, something new
Time and time again, you split his heart in two
For you, he betrays his instincts
For you, he’s methodical, yet on a whim
Fragments of his soul have burrowed within
But the question is, do you ache for him?
Does he fan a wildfire in your heart?
Will you never be satisfied?
Do you rush from desire to enjoyment
And in enjoyment pine for desire?
The tranquil stream in which you wade
Pours from melted snow
You’ve filled his heart, and now
Your stream again is shallow
Can he fill your emptiness?
Close the wounds that pierce your skin?
This feeling you fail to express
Is this devil your dark prince?
Body and soul fit so well together
Yet are eternally in contention
Does your body know what your soul wants?
Is either paying attention?
WILL: I know what I want
BEDELIA: But why can’t you have it?
WILL: My past and present life are too much in conflict
In the past, I was so passionate, I simply couldn’t resist
But my present wants it all to go away, that’s his wish
BEDELIA DU MAURIER: Once you catch the Red Dragon, your wife and son can go home again. Can you?
