[Verse 1]
Beata Maria
You know I am a righteous man
Of my virtue I am justly proud

Beata Maria
You know I'm so much purer than
The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd

Then tell me, Maria
Why I see her dancing there
Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul

I see her, I feel her
The sun caught in her raven hair
Is blazing in me out of all control

[Chorus]
Like Fire
Hellfire
This Fire in my skin
This burning
Desire
Is turning me to sin

[Verse 2]
It's not my fault
I'm not to blame
It was the gypsy girl
The witch who sent this flame
It's not my fault
If in God's plan
He made the Devil so much
Stronger than a man
Protect me, Maria
Don't let this siren cast her spell
Don't let her Fire sear my flesh and bone
Destroy Esmeralda
And let her taste the Fires of Hell
Or else let her be mine and mine alone

[Chorus]
Like
Hellfire
Now gypsy, it's your turn
Choose me or
Your pyre
Be mine or you will burn

[Outro]
God have mercy on her
God have mercy on me
But she will be mine
Or she will burn
