Preparation

Yanafal:

Is this our Young Life?
Is she the one we seek?

Danfive:

Caught in Torang's streets,
Can't escape our conspiracy.

Irrippi:

Open your eyes,
Her sign's in the skies:
just see...

Deezola:

She's just a poor girl
She's got no family.

Jakaleel:

Easy come, easy go,
Send her soul down below.

All:

Any way the Moon grows
Doesn't really matter
to She... To She...

Sacrifice

Teelo:

Mothers... Just killed by Dan,
Put his sickle to my throat,
Sacrificed me like a goat.

Mothers... Life had just begun,
But now you've gone and
Thrown it all away.

Mothers... (oooh-ooh)
D'you mean to make me die?
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Would you just carry on,
As if nothing really mattered?

Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine,
Body's acheing all the time.

Goodbye, Seven Mothers, I've got to go:
Gotta leave you all behind and face the Truth.

Mothers... (oooh-ooh)
I don't want to die,
Just sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.

Descent

Mothers:

I see a little silhouetto of a Moon:
Jakaleel! Yanafal!
Will you do the fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning,
Orlanth's trying to frighten me!

Irrippi O! Irrippi O!
Irrippi O! Irrippi O!
Irrippi O! Deezola!
Danfive Xaron! (-on, -on, -on, -on)

Teelo:

I'm just a poor girl, nobody loves me.

Mothers:

She's just a poor girl, she's got no family:
Take her Young Life so our Goddess can be.

Teelo:

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?

Mothers:

Lesilla: No! We will not let you go.

Teelo:

Let me go!

Mothers:

Lesilla: We will not let you go.

Teelo:

Let me go!

Mothers:

Lesilla: We will not let you go.

Teelo:

Let me go!

Mothers:

Will not let you go!

Teelo:

Let me go!

Mothers:

Will not let you go!

Teelo:

Let me go! -oh -oh -oh

Mothers:

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Teelo:

Oh Seven Mothers, Seven Mothers,
Seven Mothers let me go!
Deshlotralas has a devil put aside for me,
For me, for me!

Illumination

Teelo:

So you think you can stop me and steal my life?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, Mothers: can't do this to me, Mothers:
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right out of here.

Return

Teelo:

Nothing really matters, anyone can see,
Nothing really matters, nothing really matters,
to She...

Any way the Moon grows...
