The Imposter Songtext

von Martin Guerre

JUDGE:
She loved that man the way each man
Wants to be loved once in his life
Is he that man she says he is?
Has he fooled her? could he fool me?
In a village of bitter fools
Is there room for the truth
Are they ready to hear it?

Who is the imposter here?
All I've heard is endless pleading
Is there any room for truth?
Where are all these questions leading?
Layer on layer of blatant lies bleeding
Someone in this room must pay
Someone who is the imposter here

GUILLAUME & CATHOLICS:
Who is the imposter here?
Can't he see this man is lying?
Hang him now! who needs a judge
We can see our land is dying
Protestants, imposters here
Time has come to start the fighting

ANDRÉ & PROTESTANTS (overlapping with the above):
Time has come to start the fighting

GUILLAUME & CATHOLICS:
Kill them all and free Bertrande
When we're done with the imposter here
The imposter is here

ALL CATHOLICS:
The imposter is here

PAUL & JEANNE:
The imposters are you and I
I wish I loves you still
Like these two love each other

PROTESTANTS:
There are no imposters here
Open as the man who'll lead us
Now that we've revealed our faith
Now's the hour or faith will need us
Stand as he stood, proud and close
Pray foe him and God will heed us
We must fight the holy fight
We will not be the imposters here!

CATHOLICS (overlapping with the above):
They are the imposters here
Now that they revealed their faith
Hang him, bleed him, kill him, save us
We will not be the imposters here

EVERYONE:
The imposters here
The imposter must die

MADAME DE ROLS:
It's a Protestant child!

CATHOLICS:
Hang him

PROTESTANTS:
Lord! free him
May they live in peace

FATHER DOMINIC:
Help me Lord, all this sin
As they call your name
Or am I to blame?

CATHOLICS & PROTESTANTS:
Praying God from our hearts
We will die for our Lord
We will fight to the last
We will fight by his sword
For our God above
We'll kill to prove our love

Who is the imposter here?
There is no one we can trust now

JUDGE & EVERYONE:
Who is the imposter here?
All we've hears is endless pleading
Is there any room for truth?
Where are all these questions leading?
Layer on layer of blatant lies bleeding
Someone in this room must pay
Someone whom is the imposter here

CATHOLICS:
The imposter is here

PROTESTANTS:
He has taught us to fight

EVERYONE:
The imposter is here

MADAME DE ROLS:
Like a witch in the night

EVERYONE:
Who is the imposter here?
