Act III, S6 - The Suicide

(Narrator enters and takes us from Jasper into a small flat in New Albion where one of the most prominent girls from the Voodoopunk party is sitting alone in her room listening to an old fashioned radio.) 

NARRATOR: 
Jasper’s song that he made 
All the Dolls in the town play 
And it broadcasts all throughout the day 

There’s a girl in a small flat 
With a cruel father who’s quite sad 
And she listens and feels a deep compassion 

(The sound of the song Elysian Night is heard playing over the radio. It’s interrupted by the father violently yelling at the girl. After it finishes she sings quietly.) 

AMELIA: 
place I cannot bear to be 
Where loneliness, brutality 
And days of endless, dismal sky 
Just go by and by and by 

Another place I never knew 
distant, silent, sweet refuse 
With razor, rope and no lament 
I go to where my sorrows end 

Elysium 
The silent sigh beyond this life 
Elysian night 

Elysium 
The girl who cries her last goodbye 
Elysian night 

(Amelia kills herself.)
