• A Story Told

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

Mondego:
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!
