Lyrics

(BRUTUS)
SAY IT ISN’T SO. I DON’T WANT TO KNOW.

(CASSIUS)
Brutus, you must face the truth:
To our country,
Caesar is a foe.

(BRUTUS)
IS IT AS YOU SAY,
THAT HE WILL BETRAY
EVERY ROMAN IN THIS LAND?

(CASSIUS, GAIUS & FLAVIUS)
TOGETHER, THEN, WE MUST STAND IN HIS WAY.
CITIZENS CANNOT FORESEE
HIS PLAN TO RULE BY SLAVERY,

(GAIUS)
SO WE MUST STOP HIS SCHEME,

(FLAVIUS)
OR HE WILL REIGN SUPREME.

(CASSIUS, GAIUS & FLAVIUS)
WE CANNOT LET HIS THIRST FOR POWER
BLEED THE COUNTRY,
WHILE HIS PRIDE GROWS STRONGER

(BRUTUS)
We cannot!
WHAT WILL WE COUNTER-PLOT?

(CASSIUS spoken)
You know what to do.

(GAIUS)
WE CAN SEE THIS THROUGH.
IF WE FALL ON HIM TOGETHER,

(FLAVIUS spoken)
He won’t stand a chance!

(CASSIUS)
He will be through.
LISTEN TO MY PLAN, THEN YOU’LL
. . . Understand. We are people he would trust,
he won’t suspect a fellow nobleman.

(BRUTUS, CASSIUS, GAIUS & FLAVIUS)
IF WE MOVE WITH STEALTH AND CUNNING,
HE WILL HAVE NO TIME FOR RUNNING.

(CASSIUS)
We’ll decide his fate.

(BRUTUS)
WE DON’T HAVE TIME TO WAIT.

(BRUTUS, CASSIUS, GAIUS & FLAVIUS)
IF WE DON’T ACT HE’LL RUIN THE REPUBLIC
AND BECOME THE KING.

(GAIUS)
WE OWE IT TO OURSELVES,
BEFORE HE RUINS EVERYTHING --

(FLAVIUS)
THE GOVERNMENT,

(CASSIUS & GAIUS)
THE STATE,

(BRUTUS)
YES, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

(GAIUS)
Kill him!

(FLAVIUS)
Kill him!

(CASSIUS)
Kill him!

(BRUTUS, CASSIUS, GAIUS & FLAVIUS)
WE MUST KILL HIM!
