Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
NICKI burn! I freeze!
In shame I hear
my famished legions roar:
My own delay lost me my prey
and damns myself the more.
Defeated, mocked,
again I sink in ice and flame to lie.
But Heaven's will I'll hate and till
eternity defy.
(He looks at Tom)
Your sins, my foe,
before I go, give me some power to pain:
(He makes a magic face)
To reason blind
shall be your mind.
Henceforth be you insane!
(He goes down the grave)
(It's dawning. Tom wakes up and sings)
