Paroles de The Verdict

ARNAUD:
I have lied to you all so I could steal another man?s wife
when you called me the devil that?s when you knew my name
I?ve cast evil spells on you all, I?m Satan?s child
and I?ve stolen a woman who never knew I was not Martin
just let her go
she?s not to blame
EMILE:
She?s Satan?s whore!
CATHERINE:
She is loved in the eyes of the Lord!
BERTRANDE:
the day has come to end the lies
you cannot take the blame alone
the only truth I know ? I love him
I knew from the start he was not Martin Guerre
MARTIN:
yet once you loved me
BERTRANDE:
you never loved me
MARTIN:
if you had waited!
ARNAUD:
Bertrande, believe me
GUILLAUME:
damn all their lies, the love they steal MARTIN & ARNAUD:
the skies are clear now
and all that we?ve know, that we?ve sworn
revealed by the light of the dawn
MARTIN:
still alone
ARNAUD:
if you still love me
MARTIN:
I?ve betrayed by the friend that I thought I knew
ARNAUD:
nothing can harm me
BERTRANDE:
Martin, it?s too late, I feel nothing for you...
JUDGE:
I do not need to hear anymore
although this case has been made clear
there is nothing simple here
what I see are three young souls
all of the are guilty, but
obsessed with you religious wars
you have craved them from your hatred
the three of them are victims here
but none more so than Martin Guerre
for though he shares some of the blame
you had no rights to steal his name
I sentence you to go to jail
till Martin Guerre decides your fate
for only he can understand
how much you?ve changed his life, now you must wait
as for you Madame Martin Guerre
you are still your husband?s wife
now your future lies in his hands
