Lyrics
(Verse 1)
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
A tale of love and families' strife convene.
Two houses, both alike in dignity,
Where ancient grudge breaks to new mutiny.
Here Juliet stands, amid the fray,
Twixt love's embrace and duty's sway.
Her heart, a tempest, torn in twain,
Betwixt two forces, she feels the strain.
(Pre-Chorus)
But hark! What light through yonder window breaks?
'Tis Juliet, torn 'twixt love and what forsakes.
Shall she choose Romeo, her heart's true flame,
Or heed the voice of kin and bear their blame?
(Chorus)
To love or to loyalty, that is her plight,
In shadows of feud, she fears to ignite.
Betwixt forbidden love and family's woe,
Juliet stands, in turmoil's throes.
[ORCHESTRA INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
(Verse 2)
Romeo, sweet Romeo, with passion's fire,
Yet from his kin, she faces ire.
To wed her love is to defy the feud,
But dare she leave her family, so shrewd?
O Romeo, thou art the sun to her morn,
Yet from thy kin, her heart is torn.
Should she forsake the bonds of blood,
For love's embrace, in passion's flood?
(Pre-Chorus)
Yet deeper still, the feud's dark root,
Entwined with love, it bears its fruit.
Shall Juliet cast off her name,
For love's sweet call, and take the blame?
(Chorus)
To love or to loyalty, that is her plight,
In shadows of feud, she fears to ignite.
Betwixt forbidden love and family's woe,
Juliet stands, in turmoil's throes.
(Bridge)
What name shall she call thee? Romeo's rose,
Or Montague, whose name her kin oppose?
In this star-crossed tale, fate's hand is cruel,
As love and loyalty vie to rule.
(Chorus)
To love or to loyalty, that is her plight,
In shadows of feud, she fears to ignite.
Betwixt forbidden love and family's woe,
Juliet stands, in turmoil's throes.
(Outro)
In Verona's streets, where passions bleed,
Juliet's heart is torn, her soul to plead.
Shall she follow love's sweet, forbidden song,
Or heed her family's call, and right the wrong?
(Chorus)
To love or to loyalty, that is her plight,
In shadows of feud, she fears to ignite.
Betwixt forbidden love and family's woe,
Juliet stands, in turmoil's throes.
(Outro)
In Verona's streets, where passions bleed,
Juliet's heart is torn, her soul to plead.
Shall she follow love's sweet, forbidden song,
Or heed her family's call, and right the wrong?
