Hellfire Lyrics by Alan Menken

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Studio Cast Recording)

2016

[PRIESTS, CHOIR MEN]
Confiteor Deo
Omnipotenti
Beatae Mariae
Semper Virgini
Beato Michaeli archangelo
Sanctis apostolis
Omnibus sanctis

[FROLLO, PRIESTS & CHOIR MEN]
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 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 her raven hair
Is blazing in me out of all control (Verbo et opere)

[FROLLO]
Like fire
Hellfire
This fire in my skin
This burning
Desire
Is turning me to sin!

[FROLLO, PRIESTS, CHOIR MEN]
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)

[FROLLO]
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

[FROLLO, PRIESTS & CHOIR, Both]
Hellfire
Dark fire
Now gypsy, it's your turn
Choose me or
Your pyre
Be mine or you will burn! (Ah)

(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! (Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-aaaaaaah!)
