Jason Howland, Sutton Foster - An Operatic Tragedy lyrics

[Jason Howland, Sutton Foster - An Operatic Tragedy lyrics]

It's a mean and stormy night
The moors are bleak and bloody
Thunder claps! Lightning strikes!

The fair Clarissa, her clothes in disarray
Races across the wild coastal heath

(sung) now she stops, now she runs!
Will she escape, will she be caught?
(spoken) with bold determination

The villainous aristocrat
Braxton Prendergast, lurches for her

(sung) there's no escape
She's but a child and yet she turns to fight
With eyes ablaze

This noble girl meets his gaze unafraid

She will not be defiled!



Keep away from me you wretch!

I cannot keep away your beauty draws me
Your passion ignites me

I've got to hold you

I defy you!

Got to have you

Let me by you!

Come close-

Don't come too close-

Come close-

Don't come too close-

So close, so close to me

I'll have her, and the mother too

And at that moment
Rodrigo appears in magnificent splendor!

Unhand that woman, villain!

Spoken: Who are you?

I am your destiny, your bitterest foe
You stole what was rightly mine
Ten long years ago

You left me cold, alone and forgotten
Now I'm back to settle the score

Miss March!
