A Head Without a Heart Lyrics by Jon English

Paris (Original Musical Soundtrack)

0

[PRIAM, spoken]
Well, Hector, do you approve of my plan?
[HECTOR, spoken]
Yes, father
It has great merit
[PRIAM, spoken]
And what of my choice of ambassador?
[HECTOR, spoken]
Well, it's nothing if not brave
[LAOCOEN]
Oh, Aphrodite
Seductive and mighty
We bow to the splendor of your love
[CASSANDRA]
Goddess Athena
The wisest demeanor
Shine like a beacon from above
[LAOCOEN]
One calls to the mind
The other the soul
The balance remain
An even score
[CASSANDRA]
For to sacrifice one
For the sake of the other
Will lead us to death, madness and war
[LAOCOEN AND CASSANDRA]
Your night and day
Your father and mother
Who taught us from the start
To worship one and forsake the other
Is a head without a heart
[LAOCOEN]
We temper our passions
The feelings we ration
So why do i fear it
Explain to me
[CASSANDRA]
One infatuation
Brings death to the nation
Oh, wise Athena
Help them see (help them, help them)
[LAOCOEN]
Your oracle calls
From these very wall
And tell us through one
Who will not see
[CASSANDRA]
Not some mad messiah
Of destruction and fire
Just a love-starved youth
Who longs to be free
But still he can't see
[PARIS]
You see it all
With your mystical madness
But I just dream of playing my part
You counsel caution
With meaningless words
[Chorus]
Like a head without a heart
[PARIS]
So as I leave
Sister please don't grieve
I've learnt my part to the letter
Don't be afraid
[CASSANDRA, LAOCOEN, Chorus]
You take our hopes, our lives and our future
Oh Paris you should know better
