SONG(S): Heaven s Light/Hellfire
ARTIST: Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz
From the musical, The Hunchback Of Notre Dame
Intro:
/
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
(add2)
No face as hideous as my face
F(add2)/A (add2)
Was ever meant for heaven s light
/ (add2)
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
(add2)
(add2) (add2)
/
Confiteor Deo Omnipotenti (I confess to God almighty)
Beatae Mariae semper Virgini (To blessed Mary ever Virgin)
/ (add2)
Beato Michaeli archangelo (To the blessed archangel Michael)
/
Sanctis apostolis omnibus sanctis (To the holy apostles, to all the saints)
Beata Maria
/
You know I am a righteous man
Of my virtue I am justly proud
/
Et tibit Pater (And to you, Father)
Beata Maria
Dm7b5
You know I m so much purer than
/
The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd
Quia peccavi nimis (That I have sinned)
Then tell me, Maria
Why I see her dancing there
Why her smold ring eyes still scorch my soul
Cogitatione (In thought)
I feel her, I see her
The sun caught in raven hair
Is blazing in me out of all control
D7b9
Verbo et opere (In word and deed)
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 gypsy girl, the witch who sent this flame
Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous fault)
It s not my fault
Mea culpa (Through my fault)
If in God s plan
Mea culpa (Through my fault)
Dm7b5
He made the devil so much stronger than a man
Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous fault)
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
A5 (8 bars)
Hellfire
Dark fire
Now gypsy, it s your turn
Choose me or
Your pyre
Be mine or you will
burn
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
/ Em7(no5)/D
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
(no5)
Or
/
she
will
(add2)
burn!
