Hellfire

Beata Maria, You know I am a righteous man Of my virtue I am justly proud (et tibi Pater) 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 smoldering eyes still scorch my soul (Cogitatione) 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 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 was the gypsy girl, the witch who set this flame (Mea maxima culpa) It's not my fault. (Mea culpa) It's 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 I will find her. I will 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 God have mercy on me But she will be mine Or she Will... Burn... She will burn Give me sanctuary!
