souls on fire

"Marius, you're late."

"What's wrong today?
You look as if you've seen a ghost."

"Some wine, and say what's going on!"



"A ghost you say... a ghost maybe.
She was just like a ghost to me.
One minute there, and she was gone!"



"I am agog!
I am aghast!
Is Marius in love at last?
I've never heard him `ooh' and `aah.'
You talk of battles to be won,
And here he comes like Don Ju-an.
It's better than an o-per-a!"



"Had you been there tonight,
You might know how it feels...
To be struck to the bone
In a moment of breathless delight!"



"Had you been there tonight,
You might also have known...
How the world may be changed
In just one burst of light!"



"And what was right seems wrong,
And what was wrong seems right!"



"Marius, you're no longer a child.
I do not doubt you mean it well.
But now there is a higher call."



"Who cares about your lonely soul?
We strive toward a larger goal.
Our little lives don't count at all!"



"Red - the blood of angry men!
Black - the dark of ages past!
Red - a world about to dawn!
Black - the night that ends at last!"
