Lament
To a brief synopsis of the scene

Lament


Eva:  The choice was mine and mine completely
I could have any prize that I desired
I could burn with the splendor of the brightest fire
Or else or else I could choose time

Remember I was very young then
And a year was forever and a day
So what use could 50 60 70 be
I saw the lights and I was on my way

And how I lived
How they shone
But how soon the lights were gone

Che:  The choice was yours and no one elses
You can cry for a body in despair
Hang your head because she is no longer there
To shine dazzle or betray

How she lived
How she shone
But how soon the lights were gone

Male chorus:  Eyes hair face image
All must be preserved
Still life displayed forever
No less than she deserved
