[1] |
My fears in |
|
Banqou stick deep |
|
Haunt my sleep |
|
He knows the sisters' prophecy |
|
His smiles |
[2] |
I can read |
|
For his breed |
|
I've sold my soul |
|
A fruitless crown can it be all |
|
Fate will have to bow her head |
[3] |
Banquo my friend soon you'll be dead |
|
Muderers will do the crime |
|
I've paid them well to cut you fine |
|
I'll never have to look at you |
|
Banquo my friend your life is through [Bridge:] |
|
I - I've walked deep in the blood |
|
Return I can not |
|
No I'll have to carry on |
|
To be safe with what |
|
I've done [Ref.:] |
|
The Dead arise from their grave |
|
To assail what we thought safe |
|
The Dead arise outta hell |
[4] |
To the hero that fell |
|
What is this |
|
I look upon should be dead and gone |
|
How can I believe my eyes |
[5] |
Is it a lie |
|
Banquo how can it be you |
|
You lie in the blood that's what you do |
|
I see mortal gashes on your head |
[6] |
How can you smile you should be dead |
|
What man dare |
|
I will dare |
|
A thousand warriors or the |
|
Russian bear |
|
But pale cheeks of immortality |
|
How can I fight how can |
|
I fight against thee [Bridge:] |
|
Oh no - Let the earth hide you away |
|
In hell you should stay |
|
No don't you reach for my crown |
|
I shall never take it down [Narrator:] |
|
Shaken by the ghastly apparition of the slain |
|
Banquo Macbeth fears even stronger now for the security of what he has stolen by murder and treason and defends by such means. |
|
Like a blind stalker in the night he is drawn back to the lair wherein the witches dwell, hungry for confirming answers to the burning doubts in his soul. |
