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 I love, real as the sun in the sky
    I can not 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 a 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

    Engineer, Kim & Thuy
    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
    You Just Get Out!

    Engineer
    Right! I wont make a sound

    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 its treason
    To keep my vows
    Season after season
    I survive, somehow
    If you want the reason
    I will show you know

    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 your showing me
    That bastard 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 whored 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
    This Child Cannot Live

    Kim
    NO!
    You will not touch him
    Don't touch my boy
    He's what I live for
    He's my only joy

    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 memories

    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
    Don't touch my little boy!

    Thuy
    Of course you have a gun
    And now you'll shoot your cousin'

    Kim
    And do not test my will

    Thuy
    And it's a US gun, a gun that lost the war.

    Kim
    I'm warning you, For Him, I'll Kill

    Thuy
    You're the corrupted one
    Go on and shoot! Don't waite
    To save your bastard son, you must not hesitate

    Kim
    The earth moves where I stand
    I feel the turning of the wheel
    I feel nothing in my hand not even the feel of steal
    You will not take my child!

    Thuy
    You dont' know how to kill

    Kim
    I have no other Choice! What I must do, I Will
