from Roméo et Juliette, de la Haine à l'Amour (Hungarian-Rómeó és Júlia)
Gérard Presgurvic/me
After Juliet is discovered "dead," her grieving fiancé Count Paris leads the fight against the Montagues.
Paris
Death has come for us at last
Sins of the fathers and
Sins of the past
Lord Capulet
Death has took my daughter away
Lady Capulet
Now our lives have lost their way
Paris
But now we'll make them all pay
We know who's at fault
We can begin our assault
(Spoken) My lord, we cannot stand idle and let the Montague dogs get away with this! We must retaliate, for what Romeo has done! For Juliet!
The Capulets gather around. Paris addresses them.
Paris
Show them you no courage lack
Run them through hell and back
And attack!
High time that we prove ourselves true
High time we make them all rue
The name of Montague
He made Juliet take her life
So come now, war and strife
The Capulets attack the Montagues. Benvolio weaves in and out through the fighting.
All
It's madness!
The madness!
It's madness!
The madness!
Mad for the payback
We'll get them back
The madness
We must end
And defend
Our house and our pride
Yes, we will forfend
With God on our side
W/Paris
It's madness
The madness
For justice
For vengeance
For she he/I
Love(s)!
Paris
Follow all the prompts of Fate
We must defeat their hate
Or it's too late
My fiancée's dead and gone
How can I hope to move on?
So let the rage of war come
I will have no regret
For it's all for Juliet
All
It's madness!
The madness
It's madness!
The madness
Mad for the payback
Mad for the attack
It's madness (Paris: She was mine)
We must end (Paris: Now she's gone)
And defend (Paris: Can't move on, no!)
With God by our side
Yes, we will forfend
Our house and our pride
W/Paris
It's madness
The madness
For justice
For vengeance
For she he/I
Love(s)!
It's madness!
Exit. Benvolio is left alone on the stage.
