Uther:
My lovely Ygraine
You know I am a righteous man
Of my virtue I am justly proud
Nobles:
Et tibit Pater (And to you, Father)
Uther:
My lovely Ygraine
You know I'm so much purer than
The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd
Nobles:
Quia peccavi nimis (That I have sinned)
Uther:
Then tell me, Ygraine
Why I see her dancing there
Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul
Nobles:
Cogitatione (In thought)
Uther:
I feel her, I see her
The sun caught in her raven hair
Is blazing in me out of all control
Nobles:
Verbo et opere (In word and deed)
Uther:
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 sorceress
The witch who sent this flame
(Mea maxima culpa [Through my most grievous 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 grievous fault])
Protect me, Ygraine
Don't let the Druid cast her spell
Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone
Destroy Guinevere
And let her taste the fires of Hell!
Or else let her be mine and mine alone
(song pauses, guard knocks on the door)
Guard: King Uther, the sorceress has escaped.
Uther: (speaking) What?
Guard: She's nowhere in the castle.
She's gone.
Uther: But how? I... Never mind. Get out, you idiot! I'll find her! I'll find her if I have to burn down all of Camelot!
(song resumes) Hellfire
Dark fire
Now Druid, 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!
A/N: *ahem* Well, here's another for you, mostly because I'm bored and have writer's block, and I don't feel like studying. :) Thanks for reading!
