Engineer
Are you waiting for them to kill me?
Did you not get what he said?
There's a big screw loose inside you
I will rip it out of your head
That's a mad dog on the rampage
If you think he'll change - save your breath
Just say "Yes"—I don't
care if you love Him
Princess, life has it all over death!
Kim
I have a husband I love
Real as the sun in the sky
I cannot live with a lie
Thuy
Do you see now who has power
Do you still think crazy things?
Kim
Chris will come to me like the phoenix
And he'll take me off on his wings
Thuy
You're a traitor to your country
Kim
If I am, then let it be
Kim, Thuy and Engineer
I am talking of life or death now
I am talking of staying free
Engineer
So there it is now
It's time to move on
If you don't need me, I'd rather be gone
Two kids in love don't
Need strangers around
Thuy
You just get out!
Engineer
Right! I won't make a sound
Thuy
And as for you, come with me
Kim
No!
There is a secret that you don't know
There is a force here I never show
You say it's treason to keep my vow
Season after season I survived somehow
If you want a reason I will show you now
Look, Thuy, this is my son
He has kept me alive
Now you see why
I must tell you "No"
Thuy
No one must ever see
This thing you're showing me
Your bastard fouls our name
Kim
My baby's not to blame
For what I've done
Thuy
You must decide upon
Which side you're really on
You whored to make this kid
Kim
That isn't what I did
Don't touch my son
Thuy
You must see how it is when you're my wife
Having that child of his brands us for life
No alternative! This child cannot live!
Kim
No!
You will not touch him!
Don't touch my boy!
He's what I live for
He's my only joy
Kim
You will not touch him
Don't touch my boy
He's what I live for
He's my only joy
Don't touch my boy
And do not test my will
I'm warning you, for him I'll kill
Thuy
He is my enemy
It's he turns you from me
Erase him from your life
Even your memory
He's one drop in a flood
Left here to taint our blood
Our marriage bond was sworn
Forget that he was born
Of course you have a gun
And now you'll shoot your cousin
And it's a U.S. gun
A gun that lost the war
You're the corrupted one
Go on and shoot—don't wait
To save your bastard son
You must not hesitate
Kim
The earth moves where I stand
I feel the turning of a wheel
I feel nothing in my hand
Not even the feel of steel
You will not take my child
Thuy
You don't know how to kill
Kim
I have no other choice
What I must do I will
Chorus
This is the hour
This is our land
We found the power
In our brother's hand
And from a storm
Pierced with light
Fierce and white
The lightning came
A bright'ning flame
To end the night
One man to heed us -
Each girl, each boy
One voice to lead us
In a song of joy
This is the hour
This is our land
