Romeo and Juliet - fell in love at first sight - that party night
Too bad that their dads - the dads of their granddads
Hated one another - when you uncover the reason why - you’ll just about die
They passed it on down - like a serpent-thorn crown
And now it comes to greet the beat - of two young lovers’ hearts
Here come the darts - of fate - the ancient hate hits home
A child is born - brave to love on her own
She’s old enough - she’s already grown up

I’d die before I’d let them - take me away from you
It’s time to fly into the sky - for you my love is true

The jubilee of Juliet - against her screaming heart - is still gonna start
The guests will arrive - at a quarter to five
The plan’s to hand Juliet to a man - she can and will not love - poor little dove
Desperate times - call upon occulty crimes
The Friar’s potion plan - can it stand up - to defy the stars
In bottles and jars - the drugs take effect - the sleep is like death
The wedding’s off - the funeral’s on
Her sun went down - too soon after dawn

I’d die before I’d let them - take me away from you
It’s time to fly into the sky - for you my love is true

I’d die - before I’d let them take me from you
Can you feel it in your blood - The grudge is generations deep
It’s a death-mark’d love - Like a wolf and like a sheep.
