Taupin, Bernie – To Kill Your Kind lyrics

Louis:
'It's Lestat! Dear God, it's Lestat!'
Lestat:
'Louis!'
Claudia:
'No! I want to leave now! Louis!'
Louis:
'Let me go! I want to speak to Lestat!'
Claudia:
'No, I don't want to!'
Lestat:
'Armand, what do you mean to do? Claudia...'
Claudia:
'Louis!'
Armand:
'Is this the the one, Lestat? Is she the one who contrived to kill you?'
Lestat:
'She rose against me...'
Armand:
But did she attempt to kill you?'
Lestat:
'Yes, but I told you-'
Claudia:
(Interrupting)
'You killed me! He snatched me from my mortal life! Six more years and I might have had that shape!' (Points at Eleni.) 'Do not judge me until you have been forced to live forever as a child.'
Armand:
(Singing)
'It's sad I say for you to excel,
Virtues come and the infidel,
Among the B who feels compelled
To twist the rules to suit herself.
Do you look at me and see a fool?
Do we look like we bend for the likes of you?
What possesses you to cross the line
When you know what it means to kill your kind?'
Theatre vampires:
'No greater crime than to kill your kind.
No greater crime than to kill your kind.
No greater crime than to kill your kind.'
Lestat: (Spoken, sounding desperate)
'There is a greater crime! My crime against her was far worse than death. Yes, she rose against me but I do not blame her.'
Armand: (Singing)
'This demon rides a carousel.
She swings back and forth like the gates of Hell.
LIke the rats from the gutter,
Like the tic from the floor,
Makes a doll play the role of a common W?
Do you look at me and think suicide?
Do you think in this world there's a place to hide?
To the Ancient ones to the next in line
It's always been a sin to kill your kind!'
Theatre vampires:
'No greater crime than to kill your kind.
No greater crime than to kill your kind.
No greater crime than to kill your kind.'
Armand:
'There's no greater sin! There's no greater crime!'
Theatre vampires:
'No greater crime than to kill your kind.
No greater crime than to kill your kind.
No greater crime than to kill your kind.'
Armand:
'There's no greater sin. There's no greater crime!'
Theatre vampires:
'No greater crime than to kill your kind.
No greater crime than to kill your kind.
No greater crime than to kill your kind.
(Armand: 'No greater sin!)
No greater crime than to kill your kind.
(Armand: 'No greater crime!)
No greater crime than to kill your kind.'
Armand:
'No greater crime than to kill your kind!'
Lestat: (Spoken)
'Claudia!' (Makes a few sounds of pain as if he's struggling to try to get up or make a sudden movement.) 'Have you not heard what I said? Why do you care what she did to me?
Eleni:
'Do you not want justice, Lestat?
Lestat:
'Justice was done. It was settled between us. Claudia, it's settled.'
Armand:
'But she has broken the oldest of laws. She has risen against her maker!'
Louis:
'What do we know of the old laws? Tell them, Lestat!'
Claudia:
'I know nothing of your old laws!'
Armand: (Singing)
'Excuse me if this is unexpected,
Present company exempted.
Ignorance of what we teach
Leaves Hell somewhere out of your reach!
No judas kiss is needed here.
My friends, the evidence is clear.'
Armand and theatre vampires:
'There's no greater crime than to kill your kind.'
Lestat: (Spoken)
'Eleni, have you forgotten who I am? Have you forgotten I care nothing for laws?'
Eleni:
'I know how you love to break the rules, Lestat but some laws must be upheld. We cannot be allowed to kill each other.
Armand:
'She poisoned him and then she slit his throat!'
Eleni:
'And even now she shows no remorse!'
Armand: (Singing)
'Look hard upon your dirty work,
See his blood run back from the ashes and the Earth,
Correct me but it seems your schemes
Come back to haunt your virgin dreams.
We have monarched here for a century's age.
Compassions a weakness of the mortal race.
Enough is enough.
I'm done so take her!'
No greater crime than to kill your maker!'
Claudia: (Screams)
'LOUIS!'
Theatre vampires: (Singing)
'No greater crime than to kill your kind.
No greater crime than to kill your kind.'
Lestat: (Cries out)
'Claudia!'
Theatre vampires: (Singing)
'No greater crime than to kill your kind.
No greater crime than to kill your kind.'
Louis: (Spoken)
'No! It wasn't Claudia. I was the one. I set the blaze!'
Lestat:
'No!'
Claudia:
'LOUIS!'
Louis:
'Lestat, make them stop this!'
Lestat:
'Listen to me! I do not want vengance!'
Claudia:
'Louis!'
Louis:
'CLAUDIA! HELP HER, LESTAT!'
Lestat:
'Armand, this is not justice. You will not do this in my name! I do not want vengance! CLAUDIA!'
Armand (Voice echoes) 'Die with the sun...)
Claudia:
'Father...'
(Claudia burns)
