Act 1: Scene 5
Pilgrim's Hands
excerpts:
ROMEO[To a Servingman]:
What Lady is that, which doth enrich the hand Of yonder knight?
Servant:
I know not, sir.
ROMEO:
O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows,
As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.
The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand,
And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight!
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.

ROMEO[To JULIET]:
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
JULIET:
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
ROMEO:
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
JULIET:
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
ROMEO:
O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
JULIET:
Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.
ROMEO:
Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.
Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.
JULIET:
Then have my lips the sin that they have took.
ROMEO:
Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged!
Give me my sin again.

brand new fire rose
All the days of wine and pitiful lie, the pitiful rhymes
were all a long time ago
That's the way it all will end
Die alone you never will
Hell is here unleash your tail
Well the lord above has never been on my side or
your side, Hallelujah Goat
Walking through a fire like a soldier
Kicking the door, and kicking the devil's whore
That's the way it all will end
Die alone you never will
Hell is here unleash your tail
Heaven where did you go
People are searching for love
So easy blaming the horned
Man kind the sinner
Forever it burns
Well the lord above has never been on my side or
your side, Hallelujah Goat
Walking through a fire like a soldier
Kicking the door, and kicking the devil's whore
That's the way it all will end
Die alone you never will
Hell is here unleash your tail
Heaven where did you go
People are searching for love
So easy blaming the horned
Man kind the sinner
Forever it burns
Well you've heard about love givin' sight to the blind
My baby's lovin' cause the sun to shine
She's my sweet little thing, she's my pride and joy
She's my sweet little baby, I'm her little lover boy
Yeah I love my baby, my heart and soul
Love like ours won't never grow old
She's my sweet little thing, she's my pride and joy
She's my sweet little baby, I'm her little lover boy
Yeah I love my baby, she's long and lean
You mess with her, you'll see a man gettin' mean
She's my sweet little thing, she's my pride and joy
She's my sweet little baby, I'm her little lover boy
Well I love my baby like the finest wine
Stick with her until the end of time
She's my sweet little thing, she's my pride and joy
She's my sweet little baby, I'm her little lover boy
Yeah I love my baby, my heart and soul
Love like ours will never grow old
She's my sweet little thing, she's my pride and joy
She's my sweet little baby, I'm her little lover boy
My baby's lovin' cause the sun to shine
She's my sweet little thing, she's my pride and joy
