[MATTHIAS] Another day passes, pretending I don't wanna die Another day passes as the masses pass a poor leper by Please, please have mercy on me If you don't, I won't eat tonight Another day passes like a tragic last chapter in Matty's life [ASHRA] Another day passes where Ash can't grasp what guilt was like Steerin' through traffic, battin' by lashes, catchin' a job for the night We needed mercy, I pleaded I watched God leave and bleed me dry So another day passes where I'm just Ash 'cause I'm burning alive [MATTHIAS & ASHRA] Please, please have mercy on me If you don't, I won't eat tonight Leave us alone Shh, baby, don't cry [MATTHIAS] As she walks quickly away, I'm shaken Though I did not get to take her face in I'll confess, my heart stops inside my chest Familiar voice, that raven hair, a crimson dress [MATTHIAS, spoken] Ashra [MARKET MAN & ASHRA & MATTHIAS] Bay-bay-baby (uhh-uh) Tonight I want no other (uhh-uh) Tonight, under the covers (uhh-uh) Will you be my bay-bay-bay-baby? (uhh-uh) Will you be my lover- oof! (uhh-) Get your dirty hands off her! [MARKET MAN & ASHRA, spoken] Oh, you're gonna pay for that Wait, why is your face wrapped? Wait, please don't tell me that- He's a [ASHRA] Leper, leper, leper! [MARKET MAN, spoken] [choked gasp] Leper! [ENCORE & MATTHIAS] Leper! Leper! Leper! My wife and my baby flee home Leper! Leper! Leper! Now the town's gathering stones Leper! Leper! Leper Like always, there's nowhere to run! Leper! Leper! Leper! At least I got to see my son! Leper! Leper! Leper! A blow and my vision goes black Leper! Leper! Leper! I stumble and fall on my back Leper! Leper! Leper! Suddenly covered in red Leper! Leper! Leper! Like Mother, I'm robbed of my breath Like Mother, I'm full of regret Like Mother, I won't even die A beautiful death [AACRO] Hold the stones You better be quiet The keepers of peace will think there's a riot Let me take care of the leper Let me take care of Matthias [MATTHIAS, spoken] Aacro? [AACRO] It's time to get up, go home [MATTHIAS, spoken] No! [AACRO & MATTHIAS] You need to survive this Why? 'Cause Ashra's alone and she's skin and bones No light in her eyes left She is your wife, so go, go and provide with All of the change you made while you begged Now hurry, Matthias [MATTHIAS & AACRO, spoken] My money's back at camp Then hurry! [AACRO & MATTHIAS & MATTHIAS & AACRO] You need to run, run, run I need to run, run, run, run, run [AACRO] [laughs] Another day passes, at last the day they pay my price It's about to get graphic, lookin' like magic Mad for the look in her eyes She and he had no mercy on me, so I'll drag her off the deep end Make him cry Make him see her demons, see her weakness Then, at peace, we'll die [AACRO] As I make Matthias regret And Ashra forget She'll meet me in the shadows like he doesn't exist Then I'll win her love As I drain her blood And I won't be weak at the weight of her touch When Matthias regrets And Ashra forgets She'll meet me in the shadows like he doesn't exist Then I'll win her love As I drain her blood And I won't be weak at the weight of her touch As she gets the blade of my hate and my love The leper will just have to stand at the window And watch!
