You must do what
                  We must do what must be done

(Judy)            I hear my baby calling
                  He is asking to be born
                  I see the curtains parting
                  That our kisses have outworn ...

(Angels)          Kisses all outworn...

(Judy)            I'll raise a tent of shelter
                  Now though every thread is torn

(Angels)          Every thread is torn...

(Judy)            I take my life from realms of light
                  And hang it on a thorn

(Angels)          Hanging on a thorn...

(Judy)            I hear the children calling
                  Asking to be born
                  I see the curtains parting
                  And my life upon a thorn


                  The stars have lost their fire
                  And the moon has lost her voice
                  And I'm coming back to find you
                  I have made the human choice.

(Angels)          You've made your choice
                  The world you choose
                  Garlands of planets and starlight
                  Now you lose

(Judy)            He's the only one who knows me
                  He's the riddle of my life
                  And they'll never tell the story
                  Of the husband and the wife

(Angels)          The world she chooses, she loses...

(Judy)            He's the stone that broke my heart
                  The foundation of my home --

(Angels)          This we must do!

(Judy)            He's the sweetness of the sweetness
                  Of the sweetness honeycomb

(Angels)          We must do what we must do!

(Judy)            And he's welcome to his glory
                  And he's buried in my life
                  And they'll never tell the story
                  Of the husband and the wife

(Angels)          She takes her life from realms of light

(Valkyries)       She hangs it on a thorn

(Angels)          She disobeys the law

(Valkyries)       The law is broken
                  You must get them

(Angels)          Get him.

(Valkyries)       Get them!

                  Messenger
                  Listen
                  Messenger
                  Do what must be done
                  And our will be done
                  Will be done
