Jon English, Sheila Parker & John Parr - Hell or High Water

★ PARIS ★
Here I'll stand
Ready to face you
Man to man
I have no rights to redeem
But beg you to understand

I honour you as my king
But she holds my heart now
For all time
So please don't make me defy you
'Cause nothing can change my mind

For all my life
You taught me to fight
For the one thing -
That something - I really believe in

My dream
My cause
My promise
My battle worth dying for

Come hell or high water
Nothing's gonna keep us apart
Bring it on
Hell or high water
I have the strength of my heart
And nothing's gonna stop us

★ HELEN ★
Still my warnings are in vain
That a love can causе such pain

★ TROJANS ★
So

★ PARIS ★
So keep your condescending looks

★ TROJANS ★
You divide us as a nation

★ PARIS ★
Words alonе won't hurt me now

★ TROJANS ★
Taking chances with our lives

★ PARIS, (TROJANS) ★
Nothing you can say or do (undeterred by Greeks or Trojans)
Only death can part us now
I love her
I believe she loves me
If I spend the rest of my life
On my knees

★ TROJANS ★
How dare you talk about our lives
Like your woman

★ PARIS ★
My conscience is free

★ TROJANS ★
Don't talk about the truce
That you've broken

★ PARIS ★
So don't pass judgement on me

★ TROJANS ★
You talk about dreams
Like you've got

★ PARIS, (TROJANS) ★
I'm gonna fight
For the one thing I really believe in (Some kind of monopoly)

★ TROJANS ★

★ ? ★, ❲?❳
You treat your people like dirt on your feet
❲?❳, bitch
You'll find another, your food will be rich
Slut, whore
You'll bring the enemy tight to our door
❲?❳, insane
You take the chances and leave us the pain

★ FEMALE TROJANS ★
Sacrificing men will not ❲?❳
That sounds insane

★ TROJANS ★
❲?❳, ❲?❳
You test our loyalty beyond the brink
Lies, cheat
You bring insanity within our reach
❲?❳, ❲?❳
We'll have to suffer for all your mistakes
❲?❳, ❲?❳
Destroy our nation by all you have done

★ FEMALE TROJANS ★
❲?❳
The price of leadership

★ TROJANS ★
❲?❳
❲?❳
We're sure you can't deny ❲?❳
❲?❳

★ PARIS ★
❲?❳ --

★ HECTOR ★
Oh, what bravery are found
Trojan courage knows no bound
Your spirit will amaze the gods
Against such overwhelming odds
As one Greek woman on her own

★ TROJANS ★
Slut, whore
You bring the enemy right to our door
Lies, cheat
You treat our people like dirt on your feet
❲?❳, thieves
You test our loyalties beyond the brink
❲?❳, hate
We'll have to suffer for all your mistakes

Now we have to suffer consequences
We despise
For

★ PARIS & Chorus ★
You know we're gonna make it
Come hell or high water
A destiny that crosses over boarders
Burning all the bridges
Come hell or high water
Running from men who have a lust for slaughter
❲?❳
Come hell or high water
You choose to blame us for their evil orders
So ❲?❳ destruction and slaughter

★ PARIS ★
Swear we're gonna make it
Come hell or high water
So we welcome you
So willingly to Troy

★ HELEN ★
You can't expect them
To be joyous
At the prospect of a war
You have shattered all their dreams of peace

★ PARIS ★
I'll not abandon you to their hate

★ HELEN ★
I become the object
Of such bitterness
And fear

★ PARIS ★
This ❲?❳ isn't just

★ HELEN ★
If I stay

★ HECTOR ★
They'll come between your heart

★ HELEN, (HECTOR) ★
If I leave (I know)

★ PARIS ★
Either way

★ ALL ★
We're heading revenge
Come hell or high water
A dream of peace turned to
Relentless slaughter
Ravaged by a hatred
That could love for no quarter
Destroy a nation
For a favourite daughter

Oh, come hell or high water
A dream of peace turned to desperate slaughter
Ravaged by a hatred
❲?❳
We've got to face it all
Come hell or high water

★ TROJANS ★
Hell or high water

★ PARIS & HELEN ★
Hell or high water

★ TROJANS ★
There's bound to be a war

★ PARIS & HELEN ★
Hell or high

★ TROJANS & (ALL) ★
❲?❳
(Water)
