Heaven's Light/Hellfire
Quasimodo:
So many times out here
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
Priests:
Confiteor Deo Omnipotenti (I confess to God Almighty)
Beatae Mariae semper Virgini (To bless Mary ever Virgin)
Beato Michaeli archangelo (To the blessed archangel Michael)
Sanctis apostolis omnibus sanctis (To the holy apostles, to all the saints)
Frollo:
Beata Maria
You know I am a righteous man
Of my virtue I am justly proud
Priests:
Et tibi Pater (And to you, Father)
Frollo:
Beata Maria
You know I'm so much purer than
The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd
Priests
Quia peccavi nimis (That I have sinned)
Frollo:
Then tell me, Maria
Why I see her dancing there
Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul
Priests:
Cogitatione (In thought)
Frollo:
I fell her, I see her
The sun caught in her raven hair
Is blazing in me out of all control
Priests:
Verbo et opere (In word and deed)
Frollo:
Like fire
Hellfire
This fire in my skin
This buring
Desire
Is turing me to sin
Frollo:
It's not my fault
(Priests:Mea culpa (Throught my fault))
I'm not to blame
(Priests:Mea culpa (Throught my fault))
It is the gypsy girl
The witch who sent this flame
(Priests:Mea maxima culpa (Through my most grievous fault))
It's not my fault
(Priests:Mea culpa (Throught my fault))
If in God's plan
(Priests:Mea culpa (Throught my fault))
He made the devil so much
stronger than a man
(Priests:Mea maxima culpa (Through my most grievous fault))
Frollo:
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
Hellfire
Dark fire
Now gypsy, it's your turn
Choose me or
Your pyre
Be mine or you will burn
Priests:
Kyric Eleison (Lord have mercy)
Frollo:
God have mercy on her
(Priests:Kyric Eleison (Lord have mercy))
God have mercy on me
(Priests:Kyric Eleison (Lord have mercy))
Frollo
But she will be mine
Or she will burn!
