Epiphany Lyrics - Sweeney Todd Soundtrack

Sweeney:
I had him! His throat was bare beneath my hand.

Lovett:
There, there dear. Calm down.

Sweeney:
NO I had him!
His throat was there and he'll never come again.

Lovett:
Easy now. Hush love hush. I keep telling you...

Sweeney:
When?

Lovett:
What's your rush?

Sweeney:
Why did I wait? You told me to wait.
Now he'll never come again.

There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
And it's filled with people who are filled with shit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it.
But not for long.
They all deserve to die.
Tell you why, Mrs Lovett, tell you why.

Because in all of the whole human race, Mrs Lovett,
There are two kinds of men and only two.
There's the one who stays put in his proper place
And the one with his foot in the other one's face.
Look at me, Mrs Lovett, look at you.
Though we all deserve to die. Even you, Mrs Lovett, even I.

Bcause the lives of the wicked should be, made brief.
For the rest of us death will be a relief.
We all deserve to die.

And I'll never see Johanna,
No I'll never hug my girl to me.
FINISHED!!

Alright! You sir, how about a shave?
Come and visit your good friend Sweeney!
You sir, too sir. Welcome to the grave.
I will have vengeance.
I will have salvation.

Who sir? you sir.
No one's in the chair. Come on come on.
Sweeney's waiting.
I want you bleeders.
You sir, anybody!
Come on, gentlemen now don't be shy.
Not one man. No, nor ten men. Nor a hundred can assuage me.
I will HAVE YOU!

And I will get him back, even as he gloats.
In the mean time I'll practice on less honorable throats.

And my Lucy lies in ashes and I'll never see my girl again.

But the work waits.
I'm alive at last
And I'm full of joy!
