Jekyll & Hyde - Board Of Governors | Текст песни

RECORDING SECRETARY
The Board of Governors of St. Jude's Hospital is now in session.
Sir Danvers Carew, KBE, Chairman.
His Grace, The Bishop of Basingstoke.
General Lord Glossop.
The Right Honorable Sir Archibald Proops, Q.C.
Lady Beaconsfield.
Lord Savage.
The Order of business will be conducted by the Secretary to the Board of Governors,
Mr. Simon Stride.

STRIDE
Proposition No. 929 - Presented by Dr. Henry Jekyll.

GENERAL GLOSSOP
Jekyll, you're all talk an' no result!...

BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE
Forever asking us to endorse empty promises!

SIR ARCHIBALD PROOPS
What's all the mystery? Much ado about nothing, if you ask me...

LADY BEACONSFIELD
You're the laughing stock of your profession and polite society!
The mad scientist!

STRIDE
Order! Order!

JEKYLL
Distinguished Governors,
I have glimpsed the future.
Seen miracles that stun the mind
And marvels only science can find
To shape tomorrow for mankind.
And I can show them to you
If you wish me to.

Friends, you're aware there are two sides to each of us
Good and evil, compassion and hate.
If we could extract all the evil from each of us
Think of the world that we could create!
A world without anger or violence or strife
Where man wouldn't kill anymore!
A world of compassion, where passion for life
Would banish the madness of war!

I'm close to finding the key to duality
Chemical Formulae which could and would
Alter the patterns of man's personality
Guiding him either to evil or good!
Weigh the potential, the great possibilities
Colleagues - dear friends, understand!
We have a chance to make history here in our hand!

Each of us is the embodiment of two distinct and opposing forces -
Good and Evil - each fighting for supremacy inside us.
If we could separate these two forces,
we could control and ultimately eliminate all evil from mankind.
My experiments with animals have led me to believe
that the day is not far off when this separation will be possible. To achieve it,
I must be allowed to try my formula on a living human being!

BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE
And what if you're right, Jekyll? And you do manage to separate
Good from Evil - What happens to the evil?

JEKYLL
There are doomed, broken souls in a thousand asylums
I defy you to say you don't care if you can!
In the name of compassion and medical science,
I can save many lives if you give me one man!

BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE
I tell you now - the Church will never sanction it!

VARIOUS
Sacrilege! Lunacy! Blasphemy! Heresy!

SIR ARCHIBALD PROOPS
You seem to be treading on dangerous ground.
In legal terms, I'd say, extremely unsound!

BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE
The whole thing's un-christian, barbaric and odd!
You're playing with fire when you start to play God!

STRIDE
The Bishop speaks for all of us, when he says you're playing God!
There's such a thing as ethics over which you ride rough-shod!
You're a Doctor, not a saviour,
Doctor Jekyll, for a start!
But I judge from your behaviour
You can't tell the two apart!

JEKYLL
Dear Mr. Stride, I am simply a scientist.
I have a code to which I remain true!
I don't presume to the stature of moralist.
I leave pretension like that, Sir, to you!

SIR DANVERS
Henry, I've always encouraged your enterprise
And I've been hopefull that you would succeed!
But in the face of these powerful arguments,
I see no choice but for you to concede!

JEKYLL
I know my fate is yours to choose
But if they win, the world would lose
I am on the brink of great success!
I beg you, Governors, you must say "Yes!"

LADY B
