Lyrics

Confiteor Deo omnipotenti Beatae Mariae semper Virgini Beato Michaeli Archangelo Sanctis spostolis omnibus sanctis Beata Maria, you know I am a righteous man And of my virtue I am justly proud Beata Maria, you know I'm so much purer than The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd Then tell me, Maria Why I see her dancing there? Why her smoldering eyes still scorch my soul? I feel her, I see her The sun caught in her raven hair Is blazing in me out of all control Like fire, hellfire 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 sent 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 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 Mistress Frollo, the gypsy has escaped What?! She's nowhere in Cathedral, she's gone 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 God have mercy on her (Kyrie eleison) God have mercy on me (Kyrie eleison) but she will be mine or she will burn
