Hate Is The Star (Song Of The Torment) / Hearts Are Hurting Part 2
DAHAK: It begins very small Seems like nothing much at all Just a germ, just a speck, just a grain But the seed has been sown And before you know it’s grown It has spread through your life like a stain And its power will strangle your love and your joy And its hunger consumes for it lives to destroy
CHORUS: Hate is the star It becomes who you are Not the hated but the hater Has a torment that’s greater
DAHAK: It will eat you alive Consume you and spit you out Hate’s gonna win, That there’s no doubt about Hate doesn’t care who you are
CHORUS: Hate is the star!
DAHAK: Learning hate is an art Even people who are smart Can be caught Can be crushed Can be creamed It has swallowed you whole… Did you think you’re in control? Hate you thought, hate you spoke, hate you dreamed All your hate gave me substance Your lives are undone It’s your eve of destruction Your hatred has won
Xena: I never dreamed that we'd be distanced by a hate That all the trust we had would go Gabrielle: How could I hate you Xena: How could it come to pass? This awful twist of fate Gabrielle: How could I hurt you Xena: This madness can't be so Gabrielle: I can't believe it Xena: I never dreamed that any barriers could rise Gabrielle: Or that I'd ever see the stranger in your eyes Xena: Our hearts were hurting both the same Gabrielle: The hurt was tearing up our souls Xena: The fury in us made us blind Gabrielle: We could not see beyond the pain Xena: If we can turn again to love Gabrielle: If we can heal these open wounds Xena: We'll leave this hatred far behind Gabrielle: So not a trace of hate remains Both: We'll overcome our damaged past And we'll grow stronger side by side To stand together through the storms We're safe ‘cause love will be our guide
