Le Bossu de Notre-Dame

The Bells of Notre Dame

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Morning in Paris, the city awakes
To the bells of Notre Dame
The fisherman fishes, the baker man bakes
To the bells of Notre Dame

To the big bells as loud as the thunder
To the little bells soft as a psalm
And some say the soul of the city's the toll
Of the bells, the bells of Notre Dame

Dark was the night when our tale was begun
On the docks near Notre Dame
Four frightnened Gypsies slid silently under
The docks near Notre Dame

But a trap had been laid for the Gypsies
And they gazed up in fear and alarm
At a figure whose clutches were iron as much as the bells
The bells of Notre Dame                                                             Kyrie Eleison

Judge Claude Frollo longed to purge the world of vice and sin         Kyrie Eleison
And he saw corruption everywhere except within

Dies irae, dies irae, dies illa, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla
Quantus tremor est futurus, quando Judex est vendurus
Quantus tremor est futurus, quando Judex est vendurus            Dies irae...

Solvet saeclum in favilla
Dies irae, dies illa
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

See, there, the innocent blood you have spilt
On the steps of Notre Dame
Now you would add this child's blood to your guilt
On the steps of Notre Dame

You can lie to yourself and your minions
You can claim that you haven't a qualm
But you never can run from nor hide what you've done from the eyes
The very eyes of Notre Dame                              Kyrie Eleison

And for once time in his life of power and control   Kyrie Eleison
Frollo felt a twinge of fear for his immortal soul
Just so he's kept locked away where no one else can see
Even this foul creature may yet prove one day to be of use to me

Now here is a riddle to guess if you can
Sing the bells of Notre Dame
Who is the monster and who is the man ?
Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells of Notre Dame

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
