Waiting for News Lyrics
Gardelle:
We never guessed what that alchemist had done
He had us chasing shadows – had us on the run King:
Be calm my friends and speak more clearly

Eva: Here…read this.

Gardelle & Eva:
We did not fully grasp the cunning of the man
He know that soon he’d die, so he drew up a plan
The journey that he took was more about his health
The artefact we seek is Anzeray himself

King: So it is “The Skull of Thomas Anzeray”…ingenious. The power to open this gateway comes from him. He was always part of the equation.
Eva: The journal was in Italy… the Stones are in the German Confederation and the Skull is in England.
King: Yes, but where?
Gardelle & Eva: There’s more!

We overheard Ben Greaves bragging to the maid
She did not want him there
She would not have him stay
He sought to elevate his standing in her eyes
By revealing that the cemetery in Highgate
Holds the prize

Eva: At midnight tomorrow, the full moon will shine through the harp of an angel’s statue. It will point to the place where the Skull is buried.
Gardelle: Jagman has organized some kind of celebration for the Hellfire Club and he intends to claim the artefact under the cover of the festivities.
King: Then we must attend this party ourselves. We will need disguises… let us consider our options…
