Original London Cast Recording This Is the Hour Lyrics
[ENGINEER]
Are you waiting for them to kill me?
Did you not get what he said?
There's a big screw loose inside you
I will rip it out of your head
That's a mad dog on the rampage
If you think he'll change - save your
Breath
Just say "Yes" - I don't care if you love Him
Princess, life has it all over death!
[KIM]
I have a husband
Real as the sun in the sky
I cannot live with a lie
[THUY]
Do you see now who has power
Do you still think crazy things?
[KIM]
Chris will come to me like the phoenix
and he'll take me off on his wings
[THUY]
You're a traitor to your country
[KIM]
If I am, then let it be
[KIM], [THUY] AND THE [ENGINEER]
I am talking of life or death now
I am talking of staying free
[ENGINEER]
So there it is now - it's time to move on
If you don't need me, I'd rather be gone
Two kids in love don't need strangers around
[THUY]
Just get out
[ENGINEER]
Right! I won't make a sound
(grabs his sack and leaves)
[THUY]
And as for you
Come with me
[KIM]
NO
There is a secret
That you don't know
There is a force here
I never show
You say it's treason
To keep my vow
Season after season
I survived somehow
If you want a reason
I will show you now
(KIM pulls back the curtain and out runs a scared two year old boy.
KIM hugs him.)
Look, Thuy, this is my son
He has kept me alive
Now you see why
I must tell you "No"
[THUY]
No one must ever see
This thing you're showing me
Your b______ fouls our name
[KIM]
My baby's not to blame
For what I've done
[THUY]
You must decide upon
Which side you're really on
You w____d to make this kid
[KIM]
That isn't what I did
Don't touch my son
[THUY]
You must see how it is
When you're my wife
Having that child of his
Brands us for life
No alternative!
The child cannot live
(THUY pulls a knife, threatening the boy)
[KIM]
No
You will not touch him
Don't touch my boy
He's what I live for
He's my only joy
[KIM]
You will not touch
him
[THUY]
He is my enemy
It's he turns you from me
[KIM]
Don't touch my boy
[THUY]
Erase him from your life
Even your memory
[KIM]
He's what I live for
[THUY]
He's one drop in a flood
Left here to taint our blood
[KIM]
He's my only joy
[THUY]
Our marriage bond was sworn
Forget that he was born
(KIM pulls out a gun)
[THUY]
Of course you have a gun
And now you'll shoot your cousin'
And it's a U.S. gun
[KIM]
Don't touch my
little boy
And do not test
A gun that lost the war
my will
[THUY]
You're the corrupted one Go on and shoot - don't wait
To save your b______ son You must not hesitate
[KIM]
Im warning you,
for him
I'll kill
[KIM]
The earth moves where I stand
I feel the turning of a wheel
I feel nothing in my hand
Not even the feel of steel
You will not take my child...
[THUY]
You don't know how to kill
[KIM]
I have no other choice
What I must do I will
(She shoots THUY - and at the same moment,
the street pageant continues in the street outside)
[CROWD]
This is the hour
This is our land
We found the power
In our brother's hand
And from a storm
Pierced with light
Fierce and white
The lightning came
A bright'ning flame
To end the night
(A gigantic statue of Ho Chin Mihn is raised in the square outside)
One man to heed us -
Each girl, each boy
One voice to lead us
In a song of joy
This is the hour
This is our land
