Lyrics

[TAMARA] Please, do you have my husband here? I've been everywhere [GUARD 1] Your time is over, all you stole is in the workers' hands The orchards, the fields, the wealth, the jewels, the horses and the lands All that you took and took for granted, ours now, understand [TAMARA] Please, take this bracelet from my wrist As a sign that we are friends I give it to you freely Friend, can you help me find my husband? His name is Lempicki [GUARD 1] You stolе these from us Our labor made you shinе Who died in the mines To bring you these jewels? Your world is over [TAMARA] Please, my husband [GUARD 1] It's our time now [TAMARA] I need to see him [GUARD 1, spoken] Down the hall [TAMARA] You'll be surprised Where a pretty smile can take you Please, do you have my husband here I've been everywhere [GUARD 2] Look at those hands, you never worked a day in all your life Spoiled and useless, unprepared for toil or for strife Living for nothing but some day to be a rich man's wife [TAMARA] Please, take this pendant from my neck As a sign that we are friends My mother gave it to me [GUARD 2] Oh, you stole these from us Our labor made you shine We died in the mines To bring you these jewels Your world is over [TAMARA] We have a daughter [GUARD 2] It's our time now Your world is over [OTHERS] Your world is over Your world is over… [ENSEMBLE] Come, my girl, what did you expect? That the world would never change? We'd never rise, and you would live in ease In a sea of hungry eyes Come, my girl, what did you expect? That the rage, that the rage would never rise And you would live like this forever? [TAMARA] Please, do you have my husband here? (spoken) Tadeusz Lempicki [GUARD 3, spoken] Yes [TAMARA, spoken] Oh, thank God [GUARD 3, spoken] He is not to be released. Lempicki, plotting with the Czar's secret police [TAMARA] Please, take my ring It is all that I have left It's been in my family since- [GUARD 3] Since you stole it from someone else (spoken) Is that a diamond? I have never seen a diamond before. It's really just a stone, isn't it? [TAMARA, spoken] It's worth- [GUARD 3, spoken] Nothing. To me. Not everyone can be bought with money. What else could you trade? For a husband's safety? [TAMARA, spoken] I- I don't know [GUARD 3, spoken] Would you trade your body? For the night. That seems fair, for a husband's life [TAMARA] The room spins Breathe, steady [GUARD 3, spoken] It's your choice, you can walk away. What will happen to him? Hard to say [TAMARA, spoken] I can't breathe [GUARD 3, spoken] Prisoners die here all the time, they're no more precious than we ever were to you [TAMARA] I'm dizzy [ENSEMBLE] You'll be surprised Where a pretty smile can take you [GUARD 3, spoken] Now it's our time! [ENSEMBLE, overlapping] Our time [TAMARA] You need to be Stronger than you are Stronger than you feel Be steel [ENSEMBLE] Our time [TAMARA] Walk into hell and back If I can bring him back Walk out of this place alive [ENSEMBLE] Our time [TAMARA] Walk into hell and back If I can bring him back Walk out of this place alive [ENSEMBLE, spoken] Justice! [ENSEMBLE] Our time [TAMARA] Walk into hell and back If I can bring him back [ENSEMBLE, spoken] Justice! [TAMARA, spoken] I'm not leaving without him [GUARD 3, spoken] It's funny. You walked in here a little rich girl. Now you're walking out a whore [ENSEMBLE] Oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Our time Oh-oh-oh-oh Our time Oh-oh-oh Revolution! [TAMARA] The world spins [ENSEMBLE] Woah-oh [TAMARA] Some live, some die [ENSEMBLE] Woah-oh [TAMARA] I didn't know I never knew What I would do To survive [ENSEMBLE, overlapping] Revolution! [TAMARA] When everything shatters What matters? You and I [ENSEMBLE, overlapping] Whoa-oh Whoa-oh You and- You and I Our time! The grain growing ripe in the fields (Revolution!) Our time! Those fields where we worked for you (Hold on tight) Our time! What we deserve Now it's Our time... Our time! (History begins again) Our time! (History begins again) And this time — [TAMARA, spoken] Tadeusz [TADEUSZ, spoken] What's happened to our world? [ENSEMBLE] It's mine
