Hellfire (Remastered 2021; Demo)
Archdeacon & Priests:
Confiteor Deo Omnipotenti (I confess to God almighty)
Confiteor Deo Omnipotenti (I confess to God almighty)
Beatae Mariae semper Virgini (To blessed Mary ever Virgin)
Beato Michaeli archangelo (To the blessed archangel Michael)
Beato Johanni baptistae (To the blessed John the Baptist)
Sanctis apostolis Petro et Paulo, omnibus sanctis (To the holy apostles Peter and Paul, to all the saints)

Frollo:
Beata Maria, (Blessed Mary)
You know I am a righteous man
Of my virtue I am justly proud
Priests:
(Et tibi Pater (And to you, Father))
Frollo:
Beata Maria
You know I'm so much purer than
The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd
Priests:
(Quia peccavi nimis (That I have sinned))
Frollo:
Then tell me, Maria
Why I still see her dancing there
Why her smoldering eyes still scorch my soul
Priests:
(Cogitatione (In thought))
Frollo:
I feel her, I see her
The sun caught in her raven hair
Is burning in me out of all control
Priests:
(Verbo et opere (In word and deed))
Frollo:
Hellfire!
It must be hellfire!
I feel it
Spearing scalding underneath my skin
Hellfire!
What is this hellfire?
My brain is boiling, roiling, driving me to sin

It's not my fault
(Mea culpa (My fault))
I'm not to blame
(Mea culpa (My fault))
It is the gypsy girl
The witch who set this flame
(Mea maxima culpa (My greatest fault))
It's not my fault
(Mea culpa (My fault))
If in God's plan
(Mea culpa (My fault))
He made the devil so much stronger than a man
(Mea maxima culpa (My greatest fault))
I curse you, Maria
And your saints, so cold and cruel
Who let this fire consume my flesh and bone
I curse Esmeralda
That name which means a fiery jewel
She is a jewel and one that I must own!
Hellfire!
Let there'll be hellfire!
I will possess this gypsy witch for whom I yearn
Hellfire!
Let her taste hellfire
She will be mine or at the stake, I swear, she'll burn!

(Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy))
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
Or she will burn!
