Bells of Notre Dame

Lyrics

[Verse 1] [Young as Clopin] Morning in Paris, the city awakes To the bells of Notre Dame The fisherman fishes, the bakerman bakes To the bells of Notre Dame To the big bells as loud as the thunder To the little bells soft as a psalm And some say the soul of the city's The toll of the bells The bells of Notre Dame Shh, listen And Clopin will tell you It is a tale, a tale of a man And a monster [Verse 2] [Hyles as Clopin] Dark was the night when our tale was begun On the docks near Notre Dame Man 1: Shup it up, will you! Man 2: We'll be spotted! Gypsy: Hush, little one Four frightened gypsies slid silently under The docks near Notre Dame Man 3: Four guilders for safe passage into Paris [Young as Clopin] But a trap had been laid for the gypsies And they gazed up in fear and alarm At a figure whose clutches Were iron as much as the bells Man 4: Judge Claude Frollo! The bells of Notre Dame [Intermission] Kyrie Eleison Judge Claude Frollo longed To purge the world Of vice and sin Kyrie Eleison And he saw corruption Ev'rywhere Except within Frollo: Bring these gypsy vermin to the palace of justice Guard: You there, what are you hiding? Frollo: Stolen goods, no doubt. Take them from her Clopin: She ran, hahahahahahahaha [Choir] Dies irae, dies illa Solvet saeclum in favilla Teste David cum sibylla Quando Judex est venturus Gypsy: Sanctuary, please give us sanctuary! Quantus tremor est futurus Dies irae, dies illa Frollo: A baby? A monster! Solvet saeclum in favilla Dies irae, dies illa Yaaaaah Archdeacon: Stop! Clopin: Cried the Archdeacon Frollo: This is an unholy deamon Frollo: I'm sending it back to hell, where it belongs [Verse 3] [Hyles as Archdeacon] See there the innocent blood you have spilt On the steps of Notre Dame Frollo: I am guiltless. She ran, I pursued Now you would add this child's blood to your guilt On the steps of Notre Dame Frollo: My conscience is clear You can lie to yourself and your minions You can claim that you haven't a qualm But you never can run from Nor hide what you've done from the eyes The very eyes of Notre Dame [Intermission 2] [Young as Clopin] Kyrie Eleison And for one time in his live Of power and control Kyrie Eleison Frollo felt a twinge of fear For his immortal soul Frollo: Archdeacon, what must I do? Archdeacon: Care for the child, and raise it as your own And Frollo gave the child a cruel name A name that means half-formed: Quasimodo [Outro] [Young as Clopin] Now here is a riddle to guess if you can Sing the bells of Notre Dame Who is the monster and who is the man? Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells Bells, bells, bells, bells Bells of Notre Dame Ahahahahahahahaha [?]
