Original Broadway Cast - The Role Of The Queen - Sözleri

LADIES


White...





ELIZABETH


The white of virgin skin


Unblemished, powedered, blank


That hides what lies within


The image crowned with





ELIZABETH AND LADIES


Gold...





ELIZABETH


The color of my power


The scepter and the orb


Demands of state that flower


My anger flowing





ELIZABETH AND LADIES


Red...





ELIZABETH


Blood, lips, and blushing cheeks


This body made of flesh


Confining even me





LADIES


White, gold, red...





ELIZABETH


This fortress I create


Made from these pots of paint


No longer serves as it was meant to be





I stand divine


As the monarch clear


Yet on every side


Thund'ring words I hear:


"It's time that she


Wed a consort King"


To produce an heir


Is in fact the role of the Queen





LORDS AND LADIES


She stands divine


As the sov'reign soul


Placed by God Himself


In her royal role


In a child, they say,





Crown and flesh convene





To postpone that day


Has become the goal of the Queen





ELIZABETH


(spoken sing-song)


I love my new map.


Knowing better the topography of Ireland.


We've made great advances in the East.


But...


Why is it in the West


I am consistently defied by this...


Female!!!





BINGHAM


(spoken)


Not for much longer. Things are going according to plan, your majesty. Soon we'll see the end of this so-called Queen of the


Pirates, this trousered pretender, this aberration of her sex.





ELIZABETH


This is your last cha-a-a-a-nce!





BINGHAM, LORDS AND LADIES


She stands divine


As the sov'reign soul


Placed upon the throne


By the hand of God


In sacrifice


She remains serene


In her ev'ry breath


She defines the role of the Queen
