Le Bossu de Notre-Dame

Heaven's Light / Hellfire

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
Beatae Mariae, semper Virgini
Beato Michaeli Archangelo
Sanctis apostolis omnibus, sanctis

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 smouldering eyes still scorch my soul
Cogitationie

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 is the Gypsy girl
The witch who set 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
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

Hellfire, dark fire
Now, Gypsy, it's your turn
Choose me or your pyre
Be mine or you will burn Kyrie Eleison

God have mercy on her               Kyrie Eleison
God have mercy on me               Kyrie Eleison
But she will be mine
Or she will burn
