Oh, Oh Fortune Favors the Brave Oh, Oh Fortune Favors the Brave We have swept to glory, Egypt's mastery expands From the Nile's northern most delta To the dry, dry southern sands The more we find, the more we see, The more we come to learn The more that we explore, The more we shall return Oh, oh Fortune favors the brave It's all worked out, my road is clear The lines of latitude extend Way beyond my wildest dreams Toward some great triumphant end We seize the day We turned the tide We touched the stars We mocked the grave We moved into uncharted lands Fortune favors the brave The more we find, the more we see The more we come to learn The more that we explore The more we shall return Nothing is an accident We are free to have it all We are what we want to be It's in ourselves to rise or fall This is easy to believe When distant places call to me It's harder from the palace yard Fortune favors the free Oh, oh Fortune favors the young! Oh, oh Fortune favors the brave!
We all lead such elaborate lives Wild ambitions in our sights How an affair of the heart suvives Days apart and hurried nights Seems quite unbelievable to me I don''t want to live like that Seems quite unbelievable to me I don't want to love like that I just want our time to be Slower and gentler,wiser, free We all live in extravagant times Playing games we all can't win Unintended emotional crimes take some out take others in Too many choices tear us apart I don't want to live like that Too many choices tear us apart I don't want to love like that I just want to keep your heart May this confession be the start I know you'll give me courage to face what I must face with all these complications in another time and place We all lead such elaborate lives We don't know whose words are true An affair of the heart survives All the pain the world can do I'm so tired of all we're going through I don't want to live like that I'm so tired of all we're going through I don't want to love like that I just want to be with you Now and forever peaceful,true
I am here to tell you we can never meet again Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when You think of me or speak of me and wonder what befell The someone you once loved so long ago so well Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffles by You don't have to ask me and I need not reply Every moment of my life from now until I die I will think or dream of you and fail to understand How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand Is it written in the stars Are we paying for some crime Is that all that we are good for Just a stretch of mortal time For some God's experiment In which we have no say In which we're given paradise But only for a day Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide No escape, no change of heart, no anyplace to hide You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned What it is to be in love and have that love returned Is it written in the stars Are we paying for some crime Is that all that we are good for Just a stretch of mortal time For some God's experiment In which we have no say In which we're given paradise But only for a day
Radames: I'm sorry for everything I've said And for anything I forgot to say When things get so complicated I stumble at best muddle through I wish that our lives could be simple I don't want the world only you Oh I wish I could tell you this face to face But there's never the time never the place So this letter will have to do I love you....
Don't come on so cocksure boy, you can't escape your genes No point in feeling pure boy, your background intervenes Listen good and listen straight, you're not the master of your fate To this you must be reconciled, you'll always be your father's child At times acclaimed, at times reviled You'll wind up doing just what I've done Like father, like son Don't assume your vices get handed down the line That a parent's blood suffices to condemn the child's design I've done wrong, I can't deny, but at least I know that I Shouldn't blame that on my stock, this may come as quite a shock I'm no chip off any block, I wouldn't wish those words on anyone Like father, like son Son you're nervous, take my hand All is settled,all is planned You've got the world at your command I don't think you understand I appreciate too well The squalor at which you excel it isn't very hard to tell Evil's a distinctive smell He's lost all sense of reason, and why? Some foreign slut That is the road called treason, Some doors are slamming shut Just like me he's found that flesh can excite but will enmesh Once we rid him of this blight. Once this harlot's out of sight. Then I think he'll see the light. He won't walk back to daddy he will run. Like father, like son...
