Hate Is the Star (Son Of The Torment)/Hearts Are Hurting (Part 2)
Bad Guys: 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
Hate is a 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 though, 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
