SINGER: Rebellion
SONG:Demons Rising
The crown , my deeds like a burden does it seem i stand all alone in a dark and empty dream [2] such is the bitter taste of the blarney outta hell there was a life to waste and the witches did it well [3] here as i sit on a cold and empty throne the thanes, most men all have fled i am alone [4] such is the bitter taste of my hopes about to fall there was a life to waste i see demons rising tall [bridge:] no use to run and hide no use to run and hide [ref.:] now as my dreams lie there in pieces where is the glory after all now as i stand amidst the ruins i see demons rising tall demons rising tall [5] still i am invincible no fear in my heart there'll be no man man of woman born shall have power over me [6] yet there is a bitter taste of the madness that did fall. i had a life to waste i see demons rising tall [macbeth:] they have tied me to a stake. i cannot fly, but bear-like i must fight the course. what's he that was not born of woman? such a one am i to fear, or none. [young siward:] what is thy name? [macbeth:] thou'lt be afraid to hear it. [young siward:] no, though thou call'st thyself a hotter name than any is in hell. [macbeth:] my name's macbeth. [young siward:] the devil himself could not pronounce a title more hateful to mine ear. [macbeth:] no, nor more fearful. [young siward:] thou liest, abhorred tyrant. with my sword i'll prove the lie thou speak'st. [they fight, and young siward is slain] [macbeth:] thou wast born of woman, but swords i smile at, weapons laugh to scorn, brandished by man that's of a woman bom. [macbeth:] why should 1 play the roman fool, and die on mine own sword? whiles i see lives, the gashes do better upon them. [enter macduff] [macduff:] turn, hell-hound, turn. [macbeth:] macduff, of all men else i have avoided thee. but get thee back. my soul is too much charged with blood of thine already. [macduff:] i have no words; my voice is in my sword, thou bloodier villain than terms can give thee out. [they fight] [macbeth:] thou losest labour. as easy mayst thou the intrenchant air with thy keen sword impress as make me bleed. let fall thy blade on vulnerable crests; i bear a charmed life, which must not yield to one of woman born. [macduff:] despair thy charm, and let the angel whom thou still hast served tell thee macduff was from his mother's womb untimely ripped. [macbeth:] accursed be that tongue that tells me so, for it hath cowed my better part of man; and be these juggling fiends no more believed, that palter with us in a double sense, that keep the word of promise to our ear and break it to our hope. i'll not fight with thee. [macduff:] then yield thee, coward, [macbeth:] i will not yield to kiss the ground before your feet, and to be baited with the rabble's curse. though thou opposed being of no woman born, yet i will try the last. before my body i throw my warlike shield. lay on, macduff, and damned be him that first cries: "hold, enough!" my fate may have turned to black but at least i 'ii die with harness on my back.
