In the Dark of the Night

Rasputin is stuck in Limbo because his curse against the Romanov family has failed to kill the sole surviving member, the Grand Duchess Anastasia. When Bartok, an albino bat and his trusted sidekick, reunites with him in Limbo, Rasputin bemoans the loss of his enchanted reliquary, a gift from the dark forces used to kill the Romanovs. The song begins as Bartok, having been taken to Limbo by the same reliquary, returns it to Rasputin. Rejoicing, Rasputin sings about his plan to take revenge on Anastasia for escaping his initial attack ("My curse made each of them pay / But one little girl got away / Little Anya, beware, Rasputin's awake!"), with insects (cockroaches, caterpillars, beetles) and arachnids (scorpions) joining in the song as the chorus, and vows that his "Revenge will be sweet / when the curse is complete". As the song ends, he summons his demonic minions from the reliquary and sends them to destroy the train on which Anastasia is travelling.

FilmTracks wrote: "The villain's song for Rasputin isn't particularly popular, and some may even wish that Christopher Lloyd had attempted his own vocals. Yet, the deep male vocals paired with high female ghost hauntings are very creative, and outstanding lyrics and a fine balance between the Russian doom and gloom and the slight comedy needed for the genre is decently accomplished. The bass region is well treated in this song, too".[2] DVDTalk describes the song as grand.[3] AWN described it as "a wonderful mixture of rock and traditional Russian choral music, with a gaggle of wormettes providing backup".[4]
