ACT I
ANCIENT DREAMS IN A MODERN LAND
Words & Music by Marina Diamandis
Arranged by Mike Bierschenk
Our ancestors had to fight to survive,
Just so we could have a chance of a life.
We’re not here so we can blow it all.
We could bear witness to the rise and the fall.
Ancient dreams in a modern land,
I’m tryna get back as fast I can,
Back to a time before I had form,
Back to a time before I was born.
You don’t have to be like everybody else,
You don’t have to fit in to the norm,
You are not here to conform.
I am here to take a look inside myself,
Recognise that I could be the eye,
The eye of the storm. Whoa.
I am not my body, not my mind or my brain.
Not my thoughts or feelings,
I am not my DNA.
I am the observer, I’m the witness of life.
I live in the space between the stars and the sky.
What’s your purpose, why were you put on earth?
You could be lost but you belong to the world.
We’re now living in a seminal age —
The walls are being broken and we’re ready for change.
Ancient dreams in a modern land,
I’m tryna get back as fast I can,
Back to a time before I had form,
Back to a time before I was born.
You don’t have to be like everybody else,
You don’t have to fit in to the norm,
You are not here to conform.
I am here to take a look inside myself,
Recognise that I could be the eye,
The eye of the storm. Whoa.
I am not my body, not my mind or my brain.
Not my thoughts or feelings,
I am not my DNA.
I am the observer, I’m the witness of life.
I live in the space between the stars and the sky.
From the heart of Malaysia,
To the dark Himalayas,
From the day you were born —
You are not here to conform.
You don’t have to be like everybody else,
You don’t have to fit in to the norm,
You are not here to conform.
I am here to take a look inside myself,
Recognise that I could be the eye,
The eye of the storm.
I could be the eye, the eye of the storm.
I am not my body, not my mind or my brain.
Not my thoughts or feelings,
I am not my DNA.
I am the observer, I’m the witness of life.
I live in the space between the stars and the sky.
You don’t have to be like everybody else,
You don’t have to fit in to the norm,
You are not here to conform.
I am here to take a look inside myself,
Recognise that I could be the eye,
The eye of the storm.
EVERY STORY IS A LOVE STORY / FORTUNE FAVORS THE BRAVE
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Tim Rice
from AIDA
Arranged by Ed Lojeski
Every story, tale or memoir,
Every saga or romance,
Whether true or fabricated,
Whether planned or happenstance.
Whether sweeping through the ages,
Casting centuries aside,
Or a hurried brief recital,
Just a thirty minute ride,
Whether bright or melancholy,
Rough and ready, finely spun,
Whether with a thousand players,
Or a lonely outcast of one.
Ev’ry story, new or ancient,
Bagatelle or work of art.
All are tales of human failing,
All are tales of love, at heart.
This is the story of a love that flourished in a time of hate.
Of lovers no tyranny could separate.
Love set into motion on the Nile shore.
Destiny ignited by an act of war.
Egypt saw the mighty river,
As its very heart and soul.
Source of life for all her people,
That only Egypt could control.
Destruction of her southern neighbor justified.
Nubia, exploited left with little more than pride.
Ohhh, Fortune favors the brave. Ohh.
Fortune favors the brave.
We have swept to glory,
Egypts mastery expands.
From the Nile’s northern 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.
Ohhh, Fortune favors the brave.
It’s all worked out, my road is clear.
The lines of latitude extend.
Way beyond my wildest dreams,
Towards some great triumphant end.
We seized 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.
Ohh, Fortune favors the free.
Fortune favors the young. Ohh
Fortune favors the brave.

And just to show we feel no spite,
You can be our acolyte!
But first boy it’s time to bow, kow-tow!
Or it’s your own grave you’ll dig, boy
You’re playing with the big boys,
Playing with the big boys,

Playing with the big boys,
Playing with the big boys,
Playing with the big boys now!

Yesterday I heard you say
Your lust for life has gone away —
It got me thinking, I think I feel a similar way,
And that’s sad, thats sad, thats sad.
So let’s make a decision:
Start a new religion —
Yeah, we’re gonna build a temple to our love,
Orgiastic dancing, nymphs and trances,

Got no time for pain,
When its just you and me in ecstasy, hey-ey.
Ooh. Run, run, run away. Wash those tears away
Run, run run away. No pain.

The wicked games that people play.
The wars the greed they waste away,

So lets spread the word across the land, yeah.
One by one, baby hand in hand.
We got a mission of hope, we got a message of love.
Soon everybody, everywhere we are the envy of the gods above.

Welcome to the cult of Dionysus.

RHIANNON
Words & Music by Stevie Nicks
[Intro]
(Doo doot doo doo doo doot doo…)
Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night,
And wouldn’t you love to love her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight,
And who will be her lover?
All your life you’ve never seen
A woman taken by the wind.
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
She is like a cat in the dark,
And then she is the darkness.
She rules her life like a fine skylark,
And when the sky is starless.
All your life you’ve never seen
A woman taken by the wind.
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Oh, will you ever win?
Rhianon,
Rhianon,
Rhianon,
Rhianon.
She rings like a bell through the night
She rules her life like a bird in flight,
And who will be her lover?
All your life you’ve never seen
A woman taken by the wind.
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Oh, Oh, Oh,
Rhianon.
Rhianon, doo, doot, doo.
Rhianon, taken by, taken by the sky!
Rhianon, taken by, taken by the sky!
Dreams unwind — love’s a state of mind.
Rhianon, taken by, taken by the sky!
Dreams unwind — love’s a state of mind.
Rhianon, taken by, taken by the sky!
Dreams unwind — love’s a state of mind
Rhianon…
RIDERS ON THE STORM
Words & Music by The Doors
Arranged by Adelaide Kawakami
Riders on the storm,
Riders on the storm.
Into this house we’re born,
Into this world we’re thrown —
Like a dog without a bone,
An actor out on loan.
Riders on the storm.
Boy, you gotta love your man,
Boy, you gotta love your man,
Take him by the hand,
Make him understand..
The world on you depends,
Our life will never end.
Gotta love your man.
Yeahhh.
Riders on the storm,
Riders on the storm.
Into this house we’re born,
Into this world we’re thrown.
Like a dog without a bone,
An actor out on loan.
Riders on the storm.
Riders on the storm, Riders on the storm.
Riders on the storm, Riders on the storm.
Riders on the storm, Riders on the storm.
Riders on the storm, Riders on the storm.
IMMIGRANT SONG
Words & Music by Jimmy Page & Robert Plant
Arranged by Sharon Udoh
Ahh! Ahhh- ah!
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, and sing and cry:
Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
Ahh! Ahhh- ah!
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.
How soft your fields so green,
Can whisper tales of gore.
Of how we calmed the tides of war:
We are your overlords.
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now you’d better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing.
So now you’d better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing.
So now you’d better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing.
So now you’d better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing.
WAR
Words & Music by Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong
Arranged by Tim Sarsany
War! Huh! Yeah.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.
Say it again!
War! Huh! Yeah.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.
Say it again!
War, I despise
‘Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mothers’ eyes
When their sons go out to fight and lose their lives
I said
War! Huh! Yeah.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.
Say it again!
War is the enemy of all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest, within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die?
I said,
War! Huh! Yeah.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.
Say it again!
War! Huh! Yeah.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.
Say it again!

WHAT THE WATER GAVE ME
Words & Music by Francis Eg White & Florence Welch
Arranged by Mike Bierschenk
Oo, oo, oo…
Time it took us
To where the water was,
That’s what the water gave me.
Time goes quickly
Between the two of us.
Oh my love, don’t forsake me,
Take what the water gave me.
Lay me down,
Let the only sound,
Be the overflow,
Pockets full of stones.
Lay me down,
Let the only sound
Be the overflow!
And, oh, poor Atlas was a beast of burden,
You’ve been holding up a long, long time.
And all this, longing, and the ships all left to rust,
That’s what the water gave us.
So lay me down,
Let the only sound
Be the overflow,
Pockets full of stones.
Lay me down,
Let the only sound
Be the overflow!
‘Cause they took your loved ones,
But returned them in exchange for you.
But would you have it any other way?
Would you have it any other way?
You couldn’t have it any other way.
‘Cause she’s a cruel mistress
And a bargain must be made.
But oh my love, don’t forget me,
When I let the water take me.
So lay me down,
Let the only sound
Be the overflow,
Pockets full of stones.
Lay me down,
Let the only sound
Be the overflow!
So lay me down,
Let the only sound
Be the overflow,
Pockets full of stones.
Lay me down,
Let the only sound
Be the overflow!
Uh, yeah… yeah… yeah.
Uh, yeah… yeah… yeah.
Yeah… yeah… yeah.

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo…
Torture, torture,
Baby, you’re torturing me.
Why do you lead me around and let me chase you?
When I catch you, you won’t let me embrace you.
Please, baby, have a heart, cause can’t you see?
You’re torturing me. Torturing me.
This torture that I’m going through
Is worth the pain if I have you.
So if you love me, let me know.
But if you don’t, please let me go.
Torture, doo doo, torture, doo doo doo…
Baby, you’re torturing me.
You know that I’m crazy about you,
Yet you make me do without you.
Do you mean to hurt, or don’t you see?
You’re torturing me. Torturing me.
WAIT FOR ME
Music & Lyrics by Anaïs Mitchell
from HADESTOWN
How to get to Hadestown?
You have to take the long way down.
Through the underground, under cover of night,
Laying low, staying out of sight.
Ain’t no compass, brother — ain’t no map,
Just a telephone wire and a railroad track.
Keep on walking and don’t look back
Till you get to the bottomland.
Wait for me, I’m coming —
Wait, I’m coming with you.
Wait for me, I’m coming too,
I’m coming with you.
River Styx is high and wide,
Cinderblocks and razorwire.
Walls of iron and concrete.
Hound dogs howlin’ round the gate.
These dogs’ll lay down and play dead
If you got the bones, if you got the bread.
But if all you got is your own two legs,
Just be glad you got ‘em.
Wait for me, I’m coming —
Wait, I’m coming with you.
Wait for me, I’m coming too,
I’m coming too.
Who are you? Where do you think you’re going?
Who are you? Why are you all alone?
Who do you think you are?
Who are you to think that you can
walk a road that on one ever walked before?
La, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la.
You’re on the lam, you’re on the run.
Don’t give your name, you don’t have one.
And don’t look no one in the eye.
That town’ll try to suck you dry.
They’ll suck your brain, they’ll suck your breath.
They’ll pluck the heart, right out your chest.
They’ll truss you up in your Sunday best,
and stuff your mouth with cotton.
Wait for me, I’m coming —
Wait, I’m coming with you.
Wait for me, I’m coming too,
I’m coming, wait.
Wait, I hear the walls repeating.
The falling of me feet, and
It sounds like drumming.
Wait, and I am not alone.
Wait, I hear the rock and stones,
Echoing my song.
I’m comin’!
TIME

Time to get older,

Time left to hold her,
Time to tell him how you feel while there’s still

Ohhh,
Given the throne, I didn’t know how to believe
I was the queen that I’m meant to be.
I lived two lives, tried to play both sides,
But I couldn’t find my own place.
Called a problem child ’cause I got too wild,
But now that’s how I’m getting paid,끝없이 on stage. (endlessly)
I’m done hiding, now I’m shining,

YEAH!
Gonna shout it from the mountaintops:
A star is born!
It’s a time to pull out the stops,
A Star is born!
Honey, hit us with a Hallelou,
The kid came shining through,
Go sing the song, come blow your horn!
A star is born!
Yeah! A star is born!
He’s a hero who can please the crowd,
A star is born!
Come on everybody, shout out loud,
A star is born!
Now, everybody sing, A star is born!
Just remember in your darkest hour,
Within your heart’s the power
For making you a hero too.
So don’t lose hope when you’re forlorn,
Just keep your eyes upon the skie, up on the skies!
Every night a star is,
Right in sight a star is,
Burning bright — a star is born!
Like a beacon in the cold, dark, night,
A star is born!
Told ya everything would turn out right,
A star is born!
Just when everything was all at sea,
The boy made history,
The bottom line: the boy can shine!
His rising sign is Capricorn,
He knew how to, he had a clue,
Tellin’ you, a star is born!
He’s a hero who can please the crowd,
A star is born!
Come on everybody, shout out loud,
A star is born!
Just remember in your darkest hour,
within your heart’s the power,
For makin’ you, a hero too.
So dont lose hope when youre forlorn.
Just keep your eyes, up on the skies.
Every night a star is,
Right in sight a star is,
Burning bright — a star is born!
ABRACADABRA
Music & Lyrics by Lady Gaga et al.
Arranged by David Maddux
Wuh! Wuh! Wuh!
Pay the toll, to the angels,
drawing circles, in the clouds.
Keep your mind on distance
When the devil, comes around.
Hold me in your heart tonight
In the magic of the dark moonlight.
Save me from this empty fight.
In the game of life.
Like a poem said by a lady in red,
You hear the last few words of your life.
With a haunting dance, now you’re both in a trance;
Its time to cast your spell on the night.
Abracadabra, amor —
Oo na na.
Abracadabra, morta oo ga ga
Abracadabra, amor —
Oo na na.
In her tongue she said,
“Death or love tonight!”
Abracadabra, Abracadabra, Abracadabra, Abracadabra
Feel the beat under your feet the floors on fire.
Abracadabra, Abracadabra
Choose the road on the west side
As the dust flies, watch it burn
Don’t waste time on a feelin’
Use your passion, no return
Hold me in your heart tonight
In the magic of the dark moonlight.
Save me from this empty fight.
In the game of life.
Like a poem said by a lady in red,
You hear the last few words of your life.
With a haunting dance, now you’re both in a trance;
Its time to cast your spell on the night.
Abracadabra, amor —
Oo na na.
Abracadabra, morta oo ga ga
Abracadabra, amor —
Oo na na.
In her tongue she said,
“Death or love tonight!”
Abracadabra, Abracadabra, Abracadabra, Abracadabra
Feel the beat under your feet the floors on fire.
Abracadabra, Abracadab..
Phantom of the dance floor, come to me
Sing for me a sinful melody
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Abracadabra, amor
Oo na na.
Abracadabra, morta oo ga ga
Abracadabra, amor —
Oo na na.
In her tongue she said,
“Death or love tonight!”
Abracadabra, amor
Oo na na.
Abracadabra, morta oo ga ga
Abracadabra, amor —
Oo na na.
In her tongue she said,
“Death or love tonight!”
