Act Two Musical numbers - Take me to church

‘Take me to Church’ by Hozier 

ROMEO (singing)

My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner
If the Heavens ever did speak
She is the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
'We were born sick', you heard them say it

Music continues as an underscore

ROMEO (speaking)

I do remember an apothecary,–
And hereabouts he dwells,

As I remember, this should be the house.

Apothecary!

ROMEO with backing ‘oohs’ provided by singers attending the funeral of JULIET.

My church offers no absolutes
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
Amen. Amen. Amen

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

Underscore continues with backing vocals

APOTHECARY

Who calls so loud?

ROMEO

Come hither man.  Let me have a dram of poison, such some speeding gear, as will disperse itself through all the veins, that the life weary taker may fall dead.

APOTHECARY

Such mortal drugs I have, but Mantua's law is death to any that utters them.

ROMEO

The world is not thy friend, nor the world’s law. Then be not poor, but break it, and take this.

APOTHECARY

My poverty, but not my will consents.

ROMEO

I pay thy poverty, and not thy will.

APOTHECARY

Put this in any liquid thing you will, Drink it off and, if you had the strength of twenty men it would dispatch you straight.

ROMEO

There is thy gold. Worse poison to men's souls, than these poor compounds that thou mayest not sell.

Song resumes.  Sung by ALL at the funeral with some off-stage vocals.

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

FRIAR LAURENCE singing while conducting funeral rites.  Backing vocals continue.

No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean

ROMEO (speaking)

Come, cordial and not poison, go with me to Juliet’s grave; for there must I use thee.

ROMEO exits.  The Choir and congregation sing

Amen. Amen. Amen

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

Act Two Musical Numbers - My Immortal

‘My Immortal’ by Evanescence

JULIET

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real

With ROMEO

There's just too much that time cannot erase

ROMEO and JULIET
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

NURSE
You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind

LADY CAPULET
Your face—it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice—it chased away all the sanity in me

LADY CAPULET with NURSE, MERCUTIO, TYBALT and PARIS

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

ALL Leads
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

ALL company that are alive
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

The Instrumental continues under the Prince’s speech

Prince

See what a scourge is laid upon your hate, that heaven finds means to kill your joys with love. And I, for winking at your discords too, have lost a brace of kinsman. All are Punished.

ALL

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have

ROMEO and JULIET

all of me

Act Two Musical Numbers - Prepare the Masses

‘Prepare the Masses’ by A Change of Pace

Now sit back and watch this story unfold
With the fair Juliet and her Romeo
Two young lovers with one heartbeat
In a devoted grave is where they'll sleep
They are the passion in a city of hate
Watching two families quarrel ruining lover's fate,
You are the ones that took your children's lives
See your two martyrs dying in love's true light, light.

Sing me to sleep tonight, sweet Juliet
Two star-crossed lovers marry looking for regrets
By daybreak I'll be gone and searching for your kiss
Leave me a drop of poison waiting on your lips

In every war there will be casualties
Even family members and best friends bleed
Another tally on the body count
So how many more until we're all bled out?
Let's not forget about this tale of love
Replay the story as it's told to us,
Life is precious but worth giving away
For ideals of beauty and better days, days.

Sing me to sleep tonight, sweet Juliet
Two star-crossed lovers marry looking for regrets
By daybreak I'll be gone and searching for your kiss
Leave me a drop of poison waiting on your lips

I'm killing cousins, revenge I seek
In fair Verona, I will lay him down, down to sleep
In desperation, poison becomes
This story's ending in a tomb of lover's trust, trust.

Sing me to sleep tonight, sweet Juliet
Two star-crossed lovers marry looking for regrets
By daybreak I'll be gone and searching for your kiss
Leave me a drop of poison waiting on your lips
