Lestat The Musical Cast - To Live Like This Lyrics

Armand:
Just look at you!
Who do you think you are?
To flaunt our laws with your rash ways.
To mock our rules with disregard.

Lestat:
Just look at me, well, I say look at you.
You hug these walls like half starved rats.
A filthy cowering vermin crew!

Armand:
We were born the devil’s darkest
And shun your forms of gaudiness.
While you parade among the living,
We haunt the solemn world of death!

Ensemble:
We haunt the solemn world.
Haunt the solemn world of death!
You break the Dark Laws!
You'll die for your sins!

Lestat: (spoken)
Why is it a sin to walk amoung mortals?

Armand: (spoken)
You threaten the secrecy we have protected for thousands of years. We exist to strike fear into the hearts of men. Our Dark
Laws forbid us to seek mortal pleasures, or enter their holy places, or go about as one of them!

Armand:
Your presence here is poison in our veins!
Your human traits sour our beliefs.
Your arrogance should be your shame!

Ensemble:
Your arrogance,
Arrogance,
Arrogance!
Should be your shame!
Break the Dark Laws!
You'll die for your sins!

Lestat: (spoken)
You're a hypocrit! If we are sinners, so are you. Yes, we went into God's house but Armand followed us in there.

Armand: (spoken)
Who amoung you would believe this heretic? We have been cast out by God! If I had gone into a church he would have struck me
dead.

Armand:
Beware this smooth tongued libertine.
He’ll share with you his grand demise.

Lestat:
See his logic crumple like a corpse.
No god or monster rules your lives!

Lestat: (spoken)
And there it is. Your Dark Laws are lies. A cross can't harm you! This sad ghost has held you in a grip of fear and
superstition for far too long. Everything he has taught you to believe is a lie!
Lestat:
Trust in me.
There is no need
For anyone to live like this, and not believe.
The night holds more than darkness and the stars.
Don’t fear the world out there, because of who you are.
Just free yourselves and you will see
There is no need to live like this.
No need!

Armand: (spoken)
Whatever happens in years to come, remember this was his doing. I gave you sanctuary, Laurent. I gave you purpose! And he
destroyed all of it! This is finished, but you and I have only begun.
Lestat:
Trust in me.
There is no need
For anyone to live like this and not believe!
I can only give you hope, not show you how.
The chains that held you fast
No longer bind you now.
Just trust yourselves and you will see
There is no need to live like this.
You're free!
