Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona where our scene is set.
From ancient grudge to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
(Chorus)
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life,
Their love concealed, their fate sealed with strife.
For never was a story of more woe,
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
(Verse 2)
A masquerade, a hidden glance exchanged,
Young Romeo and Juliet's hearts inflamed.
Forbidden love, a friar's secret aid,
A marriage hidden in the sycamore's shade.
(Chorus)
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life,
Their love concealed, their fate sealed with strife.
For never was a story of more woe,
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
(Bridge)
Tybalt's rage and Mercutio's end,
Romeo's revenge, a banished friend.
A potion's sleep, a lover's haste,
A tragic error, a life laid waste.
(Verse 3)
A friar's letter lost in fate's cruel hand,
Romeo returns, a vial, a band.
In tomb's cold arms, the lovers reunite,
In death's embrace, they end their plight.
(Chorus)
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life,
Their love concealed, their fate sealed with strife.
For never was a story of more woe,
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
(Outro)
So let's lament and with their tale ag
(Chorus)
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life,
Their love concealed, their fate sealed with strife.
For never was a story of more woe,
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
(Outro)
So let's lament and with their tale agree,
Love is immortal, though it may not be free.
And with their passing, let their tale unfold,
A timeless story, forever told.
