Another Day Passes, Pt. 2

[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!
