Frollo
Are you insane what on earth are you trying to do
Destroy the place that has always protected you
Within the walls of this church you have found sanctity
You're as mad as can be
Quasimodo
Father please I believe in her innocence
To be born who she is, is her one offense
We must keep and protect her by law and decree
This is sanctuary
Frollo
You're a fool if you think you can win
There's no truth to forgiveness of sin
No mercy is waiting for all your good deeds
Quasimodo
Can it be that my mind is confused
You are the man who has never refused
To give comfort and help to all those who need
Father please
Frollo
I took you in when the world turned its back on you
Prayed for the grace of the saints that you'd make it through
When you'd stumble and fall it was I who would bleed
How can you do this to me
Quasimodo
Father please my whole life has been you
Cast me out if that's what you must do
But don't harm the girl I'm begging you please
Frollo
This gypsy tramp has you under her spell
Don't be fooled she's a vixen from hell
As long as I breathe she will never go free
Repent!
Repent!
Repent!
Quasimodo
Sanctuary Sanctuary
Esmerelda
You are the man that night in the woods
I remember the sound of your voice
And the touch of your hood
Frollo
You can say what you want to say
Esmerelda
All of this time
Frollo
But you are the one to blame
Esmerelda
You were the one
Frollo
For making the blood of our Lord run cold in my veins
Esmerelda
You are insane
As long as I live
Quasimodo
You leave her alone
Esmerelda
You'll never be free
Frollo
Gypsy Witch
Quasimodo
Please let her go free
Esmerelda
Since you are the murderer
Frollo
Sorceress
Quasimodo
If you try to harm her
Esmerelda
Now you must kill me
Frollo
Can't you see that I loved you, why not just kill me
Quasimodo
First you must kill me
