Intro

 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 (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)

 Beata Maria

 You know I am a righteous man

Of my virtue I am justly proud

 Et tibit Pater (And to you, Father)

 Beata Maria

 You know I'm so much purer than

 The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd

Quia peccavi nimis (That I have sinned)

 Then tell me, Maria

Why I see her dancing there

Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul

 Cogitatione (In thought)

 I feel her, I see her

 The sun caught in raven hair

 Is blazing in me out of all control

 Verbo et opere (In word and deed)

Like fire

Hellfire

 This fire in my skin

This burning

Desire

 Is turning me to sin

It's not my fault

Mea culpa (Through my fault)

I'm not to blame

Mea culpa (Through my fault)

 It is the gypsy girl, the witch who sent this flame

Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous fault)

 It's not my fault

Mea culpa (Through my fault)

If in God's plan

Mea culpa (Through my fault)

 He made the devil so much stronger than a man

Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous fault)

 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

Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

 God have mercy on her

Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

 God have mercy on me

Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

But she will be mine

Or

she

will

burn!
