V5.5

[Tempo: Andante. Heavy, slow bass and haunting cello introduce the scene]
[Verse 1]
The crypt is cold, the torches burn so low
A velvet shroud where weeping shadows grow
A sleeping potion, masquerading death
To steal away a lover's final breath.
But in the dark, a shadow breaks the stone
A rogue apothecary walking all alone
I see the vial, I see the dagger gleam bright
I will not let them fade into the night.
[Pre-Chorus]
The poison's on his lips, the dagger at her breast
I cast them both away, deny them of this rest!
Awake, awake, the tragedy is torn!
From this obsidian night, a brighter dawn is born.
[Chorus]
By my blood I won't let these children die,
They're blood the feud won't satisfy,
I'll rip them from the cold grasp of Death
And make them forget of Montague and Capulet.
Run, you two escape and face the sun,
Have love, have children your life has just begun.
Of Verona and your families you must forget,
Of the ancient feud of Montague and Capulet.
Blood, poison and hate you must forfeit
For this is the beginning of Romeo and Juliet.
[Verse 2]
The morning breaks, the horses wait outside
Through silver mists, the resurrected ride
No Prince's decree, no father's bitter curse
Can reach them now, across the universe.
Leave behind the cobbled streets stained red
Leave behind the ghosts of all the dead
A sanctuary far beyond the sea
Where names are nothing, and the soul is free.
[Pre-Chorus]
The poison's wiped away, the dagger thrown aside
The stars have realigned for the groom and for the bride!
Awake, awake, the tragedy is torn!
From this obsidian night, a brighter dawn is born.
[Chorus]
By my blood I won't let these children die,
They're blood the feud won't satisfy,
I'll rip them from the cold grasp of Death
And make them forget of Montague and Capulet.
Run, you two escape and face the sun,
Have love, have children your life has just begun.
Of Verona and your families you must forget,
Of the ancient feud of Montague and Capulet.
Blood, poison and hate you must forfeit
For this is the beginning of Romeo and Juliet.
[Bridge - Heavy, slow, pounding drums, soaring distorted electric guitar]
Let the fathers weep upon an empty tomb!
Let the warring houses wither in their gloom!
They sought to bury love beneath the stone
But love has claimed a kingdom of its own!
Ride away, cast off the masquerade
Into the light, out of the velvet shade!
[Guitar Solo - Melancholic but triumphant]
[Outro]
Run, you two escape and face the sun...
Your life has just begun...
No poison...
No hate...
Forget Verona...
Only Romeo...
And Juliet...
[Fade out with a single, resonant piano chord and the sound of distant hoofbeats]
