Heaven`s Light - Hell`s Fire Lyrics

Heaven`s Light - Hell`s Fire lyrics

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 blessed 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 tibit 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 feel her, I see her

 The sun caught in 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 burning

 Desire

 Is turning me to sin

 

 It's not my fault 

 

 PRIESTS 

 Mea culpa (Through my fault) 

 

 FROLLO 

 I'm not to blame 

 

 PRIESTS 

 Mea culpa (Through my fault) 

 

 FROLLO 

 It is the gypsy girl

 The witch who sent this flame 

 

 PRIESTS 

 Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous fault) 

 

 FROLLO 

 It's not my fault 

 

 PRIESTS 

 Mea culpa (Through my fault) 

 

 FROLLO 

 If in God's plan 

 

 PRIESTS 

 Mea culpa (Through my fault) 

 

 FROLLO 

 He made the devil so much

 Stronger than a man 

 

 PRIESTS 

 Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous 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 

 

 GUARD 

 Minister Frollo, the gypsy has escaped 

 

 FROLLO 

 What? 

 

 GUARD 

 No longer in the cathedral. She's gone 

 

 FROLLO 

 But how? Never mind. Get out, you idiot

 I'll find her. I'll find her if I have to burn down all of Paris

 

 Hellfire

 Dark fire

 Now gypsy, it's your turn

 Choose me or

 Your pyre

 Be mine or you will burn 

 

 PRIESTS 

 Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy) 

 

 FROLLO 

 God have mercy on her 

 

 PRIESTS 

 Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy) 

 

 FROLLO 

 God have mercy on me 

 

 PRIESTS 

 Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy) 

 

 FROLLO 

 But she will be mine

 Or she will burn!
