ESMERALDA
I am Esmeralda Agrn, Seora.
I know I've no right to speak.
My son is not the savage boy you see,
The cape, the sneer, the slicked-back hair
It hides the child I nursed and bathed,
Seora.
Please don't turn your eyes from me
Your son, gone to God, and mine to blame
My fated son,
He too is gone
The state will see to that, I am sure,
Seora
The state will see to that, I am sure.

Bombin' The L (Circa 1956 Version) Lyrics
Bombin' the L (12x) Lord, I can't change (2x) I usta more ya yo than Phizer Pharmaceuticals paid my way through college, and still had residuals Moved more wait than arnold on steriods shot more punks than rocks in asteroids caught
ere changes your livesBombin' the L (12x) Lord, I can't change (2x) I usta more ya yo than Phizer Pharmaceuticals paid my way through college, and still had residuals Moved more wait than arnold on steriods shot more punks than rocks in asteroids caught
Ungrateful immigrants asking for pity
When all of your answers are knives
This city makes a cartoon of a crime
Capes and umbrellas the glorification of
slime
I have to face this horror, Seora.
2ND MOTHER
My religion
Asks me to pray for the murderer's soul
But I think you'd have to be
Jesus on the cross
To open your heart after such a loss
Can I forgive him?
Can I forgive him?
No, I cannot
Can I forgive him
No, I cannot
Yeah...a chick-a-doom, chick-a-doom chick-a-doom CHORUS That's the joint, that's the jam Turn that shit up, play it again (3x) [Will I Am] I like the way the rhythm makes me jump and move It gots the feelin' tha
Compassion is hard to express in words
The trembling flowers they bring
Fear in the roots and the stem
What happened to me they know could happen
to them.
Can I forgive him
No, I cannot
Can I forgive him
No
ESMERALDA
Only God can say 'Forgive'
His son too received a knife
But we go on, we have to live
With this cross we call our life
1ST MOTHER
Feels like a bomb fell
And wave after wave come the aftershocks
Hidden in the Fog Lyrics
Night in the mountains comes with the fly of a raven Carpathians bathed in the light of the moon In the old ruins where the dying shadows Are watching the shine from the stars Nobody remembers days of glory Several hundreds years passed in silence
2ND MOTHER
You can't believe that it's true
There must be some mistake
You drift through this nightmare from which
you can't wake
BOTH MOTHERS
Can I forgive him?
Can I forgive him,
No, I cannot
Can I forgive him?
Can I forgive him, no, I cannot
Can I forgive him?
Can I forgive him, no, I cannot
Can I forgive him
No, I cannot.
