A Count of Monte Cristo song! Whooo! Thanks for helping me decide on something Performance Major! This was really difficult to record without any other voices to use than my own, aha. But fun! Warning, copious amounts of tea and lemon juice were drunk in the making of this song. Seriously, it's hard enough to do one voice, three is pushing it. As always, I only own my voice and my artwork. The musical belongs to Alexandre Dumas, the author of the musical. al. Soundcloud: ****** Lyrics: Mondego: We are friends, are we not? Danglars: And our interests are the same. Villefort: We collaborate... Danglars: ...and trust in fate to parcel out the blame. Mondego: There are ends we’ve all got that can justify the means. Danglars: We negotiate,... Villefort: then fabricate the facts behind the scenes. Mondego: Keeping all the details vague and secrets hidden. Danglars: Safe from the balanced sheet of those you trust, because history is a story told by the winners of the fight. You imply a little... Mondego: Lie a little... Villefort: Testify and trial a little All: Sailor Mondego: Who’s gonna question what goes on in the middle of the night? Not a tinker,... Danglars: ...not a tailor,... Mondego: ...not his father or Mercedes... Villefort: ... or a jailer. Mondego: So we all are agreed, let’s be vigilant and wise. Danglars: We must all pretend our naïve friend was caught in his own lies For our plan to succeed we must share but one belief: Edmond Dantes stays and ends his days inside the Chateau d’If. Mondego: Where the softest things he’ll touch are stones and darkness, deep in a craggy isle and dungeon’s keep. Villefort: Because history’s a story told by the men who make the laws. Danglars: We supply a little lie ... Mondego: ... to help the gullible to buy a little fable. Villefort: What will become of the righteous men who fashioned Dantes’ flaws? Danglars: The rich... Mondego: ... and well respected... Villefort: ... and no more to be rejected at our table. Mondego: I’ll be a comfort in her time of grief and anguish I’ll be Mercedes’ ever faithful acolyte, every night... Villefort: And part of me wishes Dantes didn’t have to languish Mondego: but I can see it’s him or me! Danglars: Let him sit there and rot until he’s forgot! Mondego: LET HIM ROT! All: History’s a story told by the people who survive Villefort: Let me sign and then initial. Danglars: It’s the truth if it’s officially the story Mondego: What if the cost is one young man so three more men can survive? Villefort: He’s a price we have to pay... Mondego: ...to live and fight another day for love and glory Danglars: He was standing in our way, of precious justice set on sail Villefort: So goes the story! Mondego: Stick to the story! All: Here ends the story!
