NIGHTMARE

In the very early hours of June 17, 1816, after a spooky evening with Lord Byron reciting ghost stories, Mary Shelley is brewing one of the strangest dreams in literary history, her nightmare would one day outlive them all (including Byron’s ego), her novel "Frankenstein".

Munster Version

[Percy]
A ghost story, imagine that:
I know what Byron was aiming at
to scare my lovely girl to death!
yes, she was terrified and caught her breath ...

Do men have god-like powers in our time?
To challenge God - this is a crime,
Create new life through reanimation?
What hubris! What abomination!

I see how restless is her sleep,
it´s a nightmare, I can hear her weap,
it´s time to wake her up and sooth the pain,
this seems to be too much for her little brain.

I long for her — love her self esteem,
I reed her soul, and share her dream.
I crave her fire, adore her grace
and always meet her mind in place

And when I listen,
I´m inspired by what she says
we´re not only lovers,
we are one mind in two heads.

[Mary awakes]
Oh Percy, I had the strangest dream

Remember, how God created Adam ? His design was not flawless:
"He’ll long for her, but miss the theme, he’ll nod along, not grasp her dream"
Percy is the complete opposite, his song reflects the change that has taken place in Adam's soul.
Just look at the lyrics :)
