(Gabrielle) It's Dahak. This is where it started. I can't! I can't! (Xena) No, Gabrielle! / (Gabrielle) I can't! (Xena) Look. Gabrielle, think. Everything about this world has been a torment. We've been guided through it for a reason. Whatever happens, we have to go through it together. (Torment) 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 strain And its power will strangle your love and your joy And its hunger consumes, for it lives to destroy (Torment + Hatred ) Hate is the star It becomes who you are Not the hated but the hater Has a torment that's greater 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 Hate is the star Learning hate is an art Even people who are smart Can be caught, can be crushed, can be creamed Hate 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 eye of destruction Your hatred has won! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! (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 (Gabrielle and Xena) 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!
