Hellfire - The Hunchback of Notre Dame


Confíteor Deo omnipoténti
Beatæ Mariæ semper Vírgini
Beato Michaëli Archángelo
Sanctis Apóstolis ómnibus 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 peccávi nimis

Then tell me, Maria
Why I see her dancing there?
Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul?
Cogitatióne
I feel her, I see her
The sun caught in her raven hair
Is blazing in me out of all control
Verbo et ópere

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 máxima 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 máxima 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

Minister Frollo, the gypsy has escaped
What?
She's nowhere 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!

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!
