Rupert Holmes, Jessie Mueller - Helena's Confession lyrics

The words so rude of Drood
Had caused me great alarm:
That devil might cause Neville to
Cause him some harm!
Sister and mother to my brother I have been -
And so to smother Drood
I had to do Drood in!

I meant no violence, that christmas morn:
I meant to silence this Edwin's scorn
The sky it wept, no view of light
As I crept into the night!
Unsteady Drood, half dazed with wine
This "Eddy" Drood had raised my spine!
I took my veil off, and lost my mind!
My veil did sail off, I tossed it blind
It wound and bound his caped coat
And draped around his throat
I meant to gag him, but I did snag him
So I did drag him off to hell!
I'd kill another, to save my brother -
I did it well!
And guilty am I and blamless is he -
Guilty am I, I cryshamlessly!
