Away! Away! My Heart's on Fire - The Pirates Of Penzance

Away, away!

My heart’s on fire!

I burn, this base deception to repay.

This very night, my vengeance dire

Shall glut itself in gore.

Away, away!

Away, away!

Ere I expire;

I find my duty hard to do today!

My heart is filled with anguish dire;

It strikes me to the core!

Away, away!

With falsehood foul

He tricked us of our brides.

Let vengeance howl;

The Pirate so decides.

Our nature stern

He softened with his lies,

And, in return,

Tonight the traitor dies.

Yes, yes, tonight the traitor dies!

Yes, yes, tonight the traitor dies!

Tonight he dies!

Yes, or early tomorrow.

His girls likewise?

They will welter in sorrow.

The one soft spot

In their natures they cherish,

And all who plot

To abuse it shall perish!

Tonight he dies!

Yes, or early tomorrow

His girls likewise?

They will welter in sorrow.

The one soft spot

In their natures they cherish,

And all who plot

To abuse it shall perish!

Away, Away, Away!

Tonight the traitor dies!

Away, Away, tonight!

Tonight the traitor dies!

Tonight, Away!
