With hope in his heart and a razor in his pocket, the false accused Sweeney Todd comes back home after 20 years in prison, and what does he see. He finds out, that his wife committed suicide and his daughter went missing...
[Todd's aria]
To the point were I screamed and cried
To the point when my veins almost tore
I saved my old memories
And lived solely upon them
I saved them when I went through the endless hills
I saved them when I was in the darkest pit
On the bottom of a crystal ewer
Like a drop of dried ink
My collar is choking me
All of my grief turns into snakes
The blood of my memory
is spilled over London
The blood of my memory
The blood of my memory
Hey hey!
The blood of my memory
The blood of my memory
Hey hey!
When you're crawling, breathing in the dust
When you can't tell what's good or bad
You must know, that you're now forgotten
And do everything to forget yourself too
But memory can't be erased, just like death
Like the night rain over black glass
And like the bloody shards of a ruby
My memories flowed down the crystal ewer.
My collar is choking me
All of my grief turns into snakes
The blood of my memory
is spilled over London
The blood of my memory
The blood of my memory
Hey hey!
The blood of my memory
The blood of my memory
Hey hey!
The blood of my memory
The blood of my memory
The blood of my memory
The blood of my memory
The blood--
