alan menken - esmeralda lyrics

[official]
by royal edict, warrant of arrest
the gypsy known as esmeralda
being under suspicion of sorcery, witchcraft
and the arts of h-ll
anyone found harboring or helping her
will be charged as well

[frollo]
hunt down the gypsy esmeralda
don’t let her flee
and vanish in the night
these are the flames of esmeralda
while she is free
your torches must burn bright

[phoebus, soldiers]
hunt down the gypsy esmeralda
don’t let her flee
and vanish in the night
these are the flames of esmeralda
while she is free
our torches will burn bright

[frollo, spoken]
have no fear, my boy. we will find her and capture her!

[frollo]
the wicked shall not go unpunished
the heart of the wicked is of little worth
the wicked shall not go unpunished

[congregant]
all through the city, at more fevered pitch
than the bells of notre dame

[phoebus, spoken]
two gold pieces for the one who leads us to esmeralda

[congregant]
frollo’s men sought esmeralda, the witch
with the might of notre dame

[phoebus, spoken]
four gold pieces for the one who leads us to esmeralda

[congregation]
till at last, they were told of a brothel
where they sometimes hid gypsies from harm
but the madam, that wh0r-
denied it and swore by the saints
the saints of notre dame

[soldier, spoken]
we’re looking for la esmeralda

[madam, spoken]
never heard of her

[frollo, spoken]
if you want your house to remain standing, give us the gypsy girl

[madam, spoken]
i know nothing of gypsy girls

[frollo, spoken]
very well. we’ll set fire to it. burn it. did you hear me, captain?

[phoebus]
and he held the torch
that crackled like the gypsy’s voice

[frollo, spoken]
are you disobeying a direct order?

[phoebus]
and he knew this was the moment
he must make a choice

[frollo, spoken]
i knew it. she’s bewitched you, too. you would throw away a promising career? captain? carry out the order!

[congregation]
god help the outcasts
they look to you still
god help the outcasts
or n0body will

[phoebus]
god help the outcasts
or n0body will

[frollo]
coward! traitor! gypsy’s p-wn!
you’re relieved of your patrol

[phoebus, spoken]
consider it my highest honor

[frollo]
kyrie eleison
god have mercy on your soul

[frollo, spoken]
arrest captain phoebus

[esmeralda, spoken]
no!

[frollo, spoken]
you see?! there she is!

[frollo]
good people of paris
i’ve heard the calling of the lord
the time has come to take our city back
we’ll save our paris
expunge this heathen gypsy horde
before we’re overrun, we must attack!

[frollo, soldiers, congregation]
hunt down the gypsy and the soldier
don’t let them flee
and vanish in the night
we’ll find the gypsy and the soldier
while they are free
our torches will burn bright

[quasimodo]
fire! fire! smoke and flame!
esmeralda, where are you
in this dark, i call your name
is that all that i can do

[phoebus]
what have i done for esmeralda
why did i hear her words inside my head
and still i think of esmeralda
with my career and body left for dead
[quasimodo]
out there
somewhere
she is lost [frollo] [phoebus]
somewhere
she is lost somewhere
she is lost
esmeralda!
[all]
where is the girl
called esmeralda
the flames grow tall
and sharp as
fleurs-de-lis
[choir]
misericordia
[all]
all paris burns for esmeralda
[frollo]
and still it all
comes down to her and me [phoebus]
and still it all
comes down to her and me [quasimodo]
and still it all
comes down to her and me
[choir]
et dona n0bis pacem
[frollo]
the devil dwells in esmeralda
[quasimodo]
oh esmeralda
oh esmeralda [phoebus]
oh esmeralda
oh esmeralda
[frollo]
resist his charm
[quasimodo, congregation]
wake up the city
and sound the alarm [frollo, soldiers]
wake up the city
and sound the alarm [choir]
wake up the city
and sound the alarm
[all]
these are the flames of esmeralda [choir]
dona n0bis pacem
the night is singing dona n0bis pacem
of esmeralda dona n0bis pacem
even the bells sing the bells
of sing the bells of

[all]
notre dame!
