Amneris' Dressing Room

AMNERIS is dressed for her wedding by four handmaidens. They present her with

a fantastic wedding gown. She stands lifeless, still reeling from the shock

of what she witnessed.

Why do I want him still?

Why when there's nothing there?

How to go on with the rest of my life

To pretend I don't care

This should've been my time

It's over-It never began

I closed my eyes to so much for so long

and I no longer can

I try to blame it on fortune

Some kind of twist in my fate

But I know the truth and it haunts me

I learned it a little too late

Oh I know the truth and it mocks me

I know the truth and it shocks me

I learned it a little too late

Too late

(AMNERIS is now fully dressed and stands there like a painted life-sized doll.)
