Heaven's Light/Hellfire

Lyrics

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

 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 peccāvī nimis)
 Then tell me, Maria, why I see her dancing there
 Why her smoldering eyes still scorch my soul (Cōgitātiōne)
 I feel her, I see her
 The sun caught in her raven hair
 Is blazing in me out of all control (Verbō 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
 Minister Frollo, the gypsy has escaped.
 (What?) She's nowhere in the cathedral. She's gone.
 But how, and—?
 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
 (Κύριε, ἐλέησον) God, have mercy on her
 (Κύριε, ἐλέησον) God, have mercy on me
 (Κύριε, ἐλέησον) But she will be mine
 Or she will burn!
