I know what'ch'yer thinkin'
I think you're insane
It's really quite simple
Just let me explain

I know it sounds crazy
But open yer mind
A marriage to bind us and
Leave them behind

It's the perfect plan!
Yer runnin' out of
Time to explain yerself!
It's all a scam!
You have one minute!
Trick them with it, change our names
We'll be somebody else

I don't understand...

I saw the change in you
Miss Lottie, you're hurtin' bad
But you're ain't givin' up
No, you're ain't givin' in
You're the child I never had

And if I were to lose you
It wouldn't be worth the fight
To leave this place without my daughter
In my arms tonight

We'll run away and start anew
And I'll help you back to your best
You'll start again, away from here
And let the fire do the rest

And while they keep on searchin'
The flames will keep burnin'
And no one will know what'chu'd done
We'll just leave this place ablaze
'Til it's all gone

No strings attached?
We'll marry only to avoid
The public's watchful eye
I understand!
Together we can build a
Brand new life, just you and I

I'm damaged, Lieutenant
I know it's plain to see
But maybe there's a scrap of hope
If you ain't quittin' me

And if I were to lose you
I'd lose all that I had
So whaddya say?
We'll run far away
And you'll give me your hand

We'll leave 'em with an unsolved case
Without a trace into the night
Reverse what's done, turn back the clock
Rewind, this time we'll get it right

They'll be scratchin' their heads
As we flee way out west
To a little house hidden from view
And while they presume us dead
We'll start anew...

Ruth, I am just one man
(Somewhere)
There's not much I can do
(Deep in there)
I hate to say I may not keep
(I know that you'll get push)
My word I gave to you
(Us through, there's nothing)
(The world can do)

Ruth, I wish that I
(For you hold)
(Somewhere warm)
Was just as
(All the love)
(Somewhere red)
Strong as I was then
(I can possess)
(Choking on smoke)
Ruth, I wish that I
(And if we)
(Better off dead)
Could hold as
(Die tonight)
(Race against life)
Long as you said when
(Well, I couldn't)
(Passes you by)
Ruth, how do I carry on
(Care less!)
(Can't reach the end)
Your words won't leave
(Push through)
(Can't take the heat)
My head...
(Uncle Temp...)
(Hanging by a thread...)

I am a product of my time
The world made me a monster
(Carry on...)
A villain by design!

Run away and start anew
(Carry on...)
Catch the nearest train
(For even when I'm far away)
Forget about the pain!
(I pray I'll make you strong!)

Burn all the blood
That we had spilled
(Carry on...)
Flee way out west
And let the fire build!
(Carry on...)
Kill me silently
(Ooh...)
I'll be burnin' still
(Whoa!)

We'll leave them screamin'
"Fire on the hill..."
"Fire on the hill..."

The weight a bellboy carries
Is a burden carried 'til his dying day

A captain doesn't dive off
Overboard his sinking ship
(You promised me that you)
There's lives at stake...
(Would always stay!)

What about all that we've been through?
And the promise you made to me?

Catori, there's no time for this
It's a promise I can't keep...

Remember me fondly
(You promised we'd)
Always in your heart
(Never be apart)
Remember this moment
(If you must go)
Carry on...
(Don't be too long...)

Tell her how I died
(Ooh...)
Doing what is right
Tell her just how proud he'd be
And wished with all his might

That he could be there
With her, and with you
She'll know you as a hero
No...
Tell her I was true...

If only you were here now
You always loved a twist
I tried my best to connect the dots
I don't know what I missed

I feel that I let you down
And I know you'd protest by default
But as I look around this place
I feel that it's my fault

I hope that you forgive me
I was given all the clues
And yet, I still failed them
For I could never be you

I hope you can forgive
All the blood that was spilled
I hope to beg forgiveness from
The people that were killed

Time can help with healing
But the ghosts will haunt me still
Of the fire on the hill...

Ahh...
(Ahh...)
Ahh!
