Jake Kaufman - The Impresario lyrics
INTRO: Look into the sins of your past Love as if today were your last Better times have slipped away, I'm lost beneath the waves Nothing left to save… EXPOSITION: SAVAGE CRIME! IT WAS NOT YET HER TIME! FOR WHOM THE TOWER PEALS ONE FINAL MOURNING CHIME! FOR THE SURVIVORS… SCENE I (present time, evening): Speak to me, before my fate is reckoned Comfort me, they'll arrive at any second Six o'clock, and I got no doubt the gang is out for BLOOD IS ON YOUR HANDS! OUR OWN, KILLED IN THE FIGHT! YOU'LL DIE TONIGHT! SCENE II (flashback to two days ago): O, (THERE HE IS!) Maria, (WHY IS HE ON OUR BLOCK?) Morte mia (TRACK HIM DOWN, MAKE HIM BLEED! WE'LL TAKE HIM!) I'll be waiting patiently (WE'LL BEAT HIM DOWN, TAKE HIM TO THE GROUND) Come on out and dance with me, (THE DEVIL) The night is young And so are we! [guitar solo] O Maria, cara mia And I know the deck's stacked against us Even though it feels so right… Forbidden is our love Our families, divided from above Your brothers will see through the lie; Tomorrow… they won't ask why… SCENE III (yesterday): [piano intro] O Maria... Far away now... Will I ever see your smile? As night turns to day I beg you to stay I'm down, down on my knees here… I'm the darkness, you're the starlight And I'm burnin' up in here, I (MY HEART WILL) Die every day, when you hide away I don't wanna fear… (THEIR RIVALRY) So even though they may discover us I'm never givin' you up And if they try to tell me what to do… (I LOVE HER!) I'll k** them! (I LOVE HER!) I'll k** them! (LEAVE US ALONE!) Down to the last! No! O (COME GET ME) Maria, (UPSET ME) I need her, for my own (COME CAST A STONE) [guitar/piano solo… commence headbanging] SCENE IV (this morning): STAR-CROSSED LOVERS LAUGHING AT THE TRUTH EASY FORTUNES FOOLISH IN YOUTH, HA-HA-HA AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE YOU'LL BOTH BE ON THE RUN AND WE'LL FIND YOU JUST WHAT WAS YOUR PLAN? YOU ARROGANT MAN! TI AMMAZZO, TI AMMAZZO, TI AMMAZZO! INTRUSO! (HE WAS WITH THE who*e!) CRETINO! (SHOW HIM TO THE DOOR!) FOLLOW HIM! CORNER HIM! MURDER HIM! BEAT HIM DOWN! BEAT HIM UP! SEND HIM TO HIS GRAVE! Maria……… DRACO, LOVE WE WERE NEVER MEANT TO LIVE THIS LIE! Then I will die Sooner than see you gone I'm gonna go down swingin' Ears are ringin'… [guitar solo] SCENE V (this afternoon): But I'm alive!! (AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH! HE'S STILL BREATHING) MAKE HIM DEAD! (HIT HIM IN THE HEAD!) TAKE HIS LIFE! (SOMEONE GET A KNIFE!) Suddenly, (GET HIM!) In a flash, (KILL HIM!) I was up On my feet (STAB HIM!) With a knife (DRILL HIM!) Spun around With a slash (PRESS HIM!) In a split (GRILL HIM!) Second of Murderous (END HIM!) Clarity, (SPILL HIM!) I could see One by one, they stood before me! Then, from the ground, came the most awful sound And I saw her then Maria lying there Someone had stabbed her and Her time was at an end And then I ran and ran and ran and RAN! [guitar solo] BLOOD ON THE STREET NOW YOUNG DRACO SHALL MEET WITH HIS FATE!! ENDING (return to present time): O Maria Now it's clear… Broken through the pain and the fear Before too long I'll be with… you…
