Marie Antoinette - The Last Night On Earth |
RINGMASTER The widow now bereft, abhorred Counts numbered fays the summer long In Temple Prison with her spawn On pretext of 'unnatural acts' With jests and jibes and guile and facts The 'sans culottes' prune the tree Now a sister to the dispossessed The halt, like maimed and all the rest Like a leaf on a pitiless sea Shorn of family and rank Humbled in the dank air She mingles with the dancers macabre And the ghostly dancers twirl In that dread minuet And beggar the illusions of that little Austrian Girl

QUEEN Adieu my good and tender sister I am condemned to die My only regret is to abandon my children My children, my God, how it tears me to leave them My love for them was always first and last My God, I miss my children so
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST Madame Antoine, if we could only turn back the clock To that garden in Vienna
MARIE THERESE & FEMALE CHORUS Madame Antoine, Madame Antoine, Mother is calling, darkness is falling
QUEEN Monsieur, I know thee not
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST The oak tree without and the peach tree within Your mother was calling The darkness was falling
QUEEN My little cock robin pray kneel here beside me The dance is about to begin
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST Courage Madame, in this great rebirth Like wind-fallen fruit we return to the earth
QUEEN I saw but a priest
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST I am but a man Madame, please take my hand
QUEEN Monsieur, please take my hand
