• A Story Told (The Count of the Monte Cristo Musical)

Mondego:
We are friends, are we not?
Danglars:
And our interests are the same
Villefort:
We collaborate
Danglars:
And trust in fate
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
Testifying
Villefort:
Try a little
Mondego and Villefort:
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
Monego:
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
Danglars:
Are 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
But I can see it’s him or me
Danglars:
Let him sit there and rot until he’s forgot
Mondego:
Let him rot!
Three together:
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 it cost us one young man so three more men can survive?
Villefort:
He’s a price we have to pay
Mondego:
So live and fight another day for love and glory
Danglars:
He was standing in the way of precious justice
Set on sail
Villefort:
So goes the story!
Mondego:
Stick to the story!
Three together:
Here ends the story!
