Heaven's Light / Hellfire

[Quasimodo]

So many times out here

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

[Priests]

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)

[Frollo & (Priests)]

Beata Maria

You know I am a righteous man

Of my virtue I am justly proud (et tibit 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 smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul (cogitatione)

I feel her, I see her

The sun caught in 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 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 (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

[Guard and Frollo]

Minister Frollo, the gypsy has escaped

What?

No longer in the 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

[Frollo & (Priests)]

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!
