Bare A Pop Opera movie - Epiphany lyrics
rate me<br>
STUDENTS (singing in Latin)<br>
In nomine patris, patris<br>
Amen, amen<br>
In nomine patris, patris<br>
Amen, amen <br>
(or something close...)<br>
<br>
PRIEST<br>
I want to welcome all of you back<br>
I hope Christmas was a time of great joy for you and your families<br>
Today is the Feast of the Epiphany<br>
The celebration of the arrival of the three wise men<br>
To pay homage to the baby Jesus<br>
I want you to imagine what that journey must have been like<br>
A journey resting entirely on fate<br>
That they would know where they were going once they arrived<br>
Imagine what a joy it must have been for them<br>
To finally reach their destination<br>
Seniors, you're coming to an end of your time at St. Cecelia's<br>
<br>
LUCAS<br>
Yeah!<br>
<br>
PRIEST<br>
You've lived together, studied together<br>
And most importantly, prayed together<br>
Strength for the journey<br>
We begin in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit<br>
Let us take a moment now to call to mind those times<br>
When we have fallen from God's grace<br>
I confess...<br>
<br>
PRIEST & STUDENTS<br>
...to almighty God<br>
And to you my brothers and sisters<br>
That...(students continue praying)<br>
<br>
PRIEST<br>
Peter!<br>
You're not fooling anyone!<br>
Being an altar boy by day doesn't forgive what you do at night!<br>
<br>
PETER<br>
And you, my brothers and sisters<br>
Pray for me to the Lord our God!<br>
<br>
LUCAS<br>
One among us dances with the Devil<br>
<br>
NADIA<br>
Loves my brother, God it makes me sick<br>
<br>
???<br>
Seven years in school<br>
<br>
IVY<br>
He's played it cool<br>
<br>
STUDENTS<br>
You can't keep it, tell us your secret<br>
<br>
IVY<br>
And for risking it all on your salvation (?)<br>
I can fix you if you'd like to try<br>
<br>
MATT<br>
Think your actions through<br>
<br>
STUDENTS<br>
What's wrong with you?<br>
So mistaken, lost and forsaken!<br>
Dig down deep and save your soul<br>
Grave mistakes will take their toll<br>
Every sin is entered in<br>
Heaven comes with discipline<br>
<br>
PETER<br>
I've hid it all so well, tell me how you know<br>
<br>
STUDENTS<br>
No more dodging, God is watching<br>
His eye is on the lowly sparrow<br>
The road is long, the path is narrow<br>
<br>
ZACK<br>
Your Catholic rules are not suggestions<br>
<br>
???<br>
Read the Bible<br>
<br>
IVY<br>
Would you speak for God?<br>
<br>
???<br>
Why can't you obey?<br>
<br>
???<br>
You've lost your way<br>
<br>
STUDENTS<br>
Scorned, reviled, waste of a child<br>
<br>
SISTER CHANTELLE?<br>
Time is ticking, graduation day<br>
<br>
IVY<br>
You have five months left to change your mind<br>
<br>
STUDENTS<br>
Lock those thoughts away, it's judgment day<br>
Heaven's never, Hell is forever<br>
Dig down deep and save your soul<br>
Grave mistakes will take their toll<br>
Every sin is entered in<br>
Heaven comes with discipline<br>
<br>
PETER<br>
Doesn't it all make sense if the love is strong?<br>
<br>
STUDENTS<br>
No more dodging, God is watching<br>
His eye is on the lowly sparrow<br>
The road is long, the path is narrow<br>
<br>
CLAIRE<br>
Peter, honey, are you sleeping through mass again?<br>
You know, if you keep this up, you're going straight to hell<br>
<br>
PETER<br>
Mom?<br>
<br>
CLAIRE<br>
Our first reading today is the story of how,<br>
Despite the best efforts of a single mother<br>
A child can still go horribly, horribly wrong<br>
<br>
PETER<br>
Mother, please!<br>
<br>
CLAIRE<br>
For his eighth birthday, Peter asked for an Easy Bake Oven<br>
His father asked for a divorce<br>
To me, the link between those two events was as strong<br>
As Peter's attraction to my makeup table<br>
<br>
PETER<br>
Mom, this really isn't the best...<br>
<br>
CLAIRE<br>
I sent him to a Catholic boarding school thinking it would help<br>
But, when he met his roommate Jason, the two of them locked eyes<br>
And I said to myself, 'Claire, you wanted grandchildren?<br>
Instead you're going to get ambiguous Christmas cards from South Beach'<br>
<br>
IVY?<br>
Please join us in singing our offertory hymn, number 273, 'A Bender Among Us'<br>
<br>
STUDENTS<br>
There's a bender among us, he must be exposed<br>
Or he'll kidnap our children and take off their clothes<br>
There's a bender among us, there's pink in our flock<br>
A boy without conscience, whose led by his...<br>
<br>
CLAIRE<br>
...Cocktail: Peter's second favorite movie<br>
His favorite: Top Gun<br>
The signs were everywhere, we were practically tripping over them<br>
<br>
PETER<br>
Father?<br>
<br>
PRIEST<br>
Not in the funeral, Peter<br>
<br>
MATT?<br>
I'd like to start with just a...<br>
If we could take a moment...<br>
If maybe we were silent...<br>
Or we had spoken...<br>
<br>
PETER<br>
Mom? What is it?<br>
Ivy? Nadia? Matt?<br>
Is it I? Lord, is it I?<br>
<br>
<br>
STUDENTS<br>
Timothy, Romans, Corinthians, Leviticus<br>
Timothy, Romans, Corinthians, Leviticus<br>
Timothy, Romans, Corinthians, Leviticus<br>
Love the sinner, hate the sin, created in his image<br>
Abomination, abomination, abomination, abomination<br>
Bare the cross, bare the cross, bare the cross (?)<br>
<br>
PRIEST<br>
Let us go forth in peace to love and serve the Lord<br>
<br>
STUDENTS<br>
Praise be to God<br>
<br>
PETER<br>
Hail Mary full of grace...<br>
(continues to rapidly pray)<br>
<br>
