Heaven's Light/Hellfire

so many times out there i've watched a happy pair

of lovers walking in the night

they had a kind of glow around them

it almost looked like heaven's light

i knew i'd never know

that warm and loving glow

though i might wish with all my might

no face as hideous as my face

was ever meant for heaven's light

but suddenly an angel has smiled at me

and kissed my cheek without a trace of fright

i dare to dream that she

might even care for me

and as i ring these bells tonight

my cold, dark tower seems so bright

i swear it must be heaven's light.

(-confiteor deo omnipotenti-)

(-beatae mariae semper virgin-)

(-beato michaeli archangelo-)

(-sanctis apostolis omnibus sanctis-)

beata maria

you know i am a righteous man

of my virtue i am justly proud

(-et tibi patri-)

beata maria

you know i'm so much purer than

the common, vulgar weak, licentious crowd

(-quia peccavi nimis-)

then tell me maria

why i see her dancing there

why her smouldering eyes still scorch my soul

(-coditatione-)

i feel her, i see her

the sun caught in her raven hair

is blazing in me out of all control

(-verbo et opere-)

like fire, hell fire

this fire in my skin

this burning desire is turning me to sin

it's not my fault

(-mea culpa-)

i'm not to blame

(-mea culpa-)

it is the gypsy girl the witch who set this flame

(-mea maxima culpa-)

it's not my fault

(-mea culpa-)

if in god's plan

(-mea culpa-)

he made the devil so much stronger than a man!

(-mea maxima culpa-)

protect me, maria

don't let this siren cast her spell

don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone

destroy esmeralda!

and let her taste the fires of hell

or else let her be mine and mine alone

-minister frollo, the gypsy has escaped.

-what?

-she's nowhere in the cathedral.she's gone.

-but how? i——never mind.get out, you idiot. i'll find her.i'll find her if i have to burn down all of paris.

hell fire, dark fire

now, gypsy it's your turn

choose me or your pyre

be mine or you will burn

(-kyrie eleison-)

god have mercy on her

(-kyrie eleison-)

god have mercy on me

(-kyrie eleison-)

but she will be mine

or she will burn!
