TODD - Act 1 "IX. The First Blood"

Todd: Finally, with the first blood, my pain broke through. My pain, my pain, my pain...

But who said that He will not be able to forgive me? He is too weak to avenge himself. He is too kind.

The Priest: How quickly you learned a lesson!

Todd: Himself he is a slave of his covenants. He is too weak...

The Priest: Tell me, who is not without sin nowadays? And what is supposed to mean "sin" today?

When floods of evil and foam of lies run a river, hands are washed clean, when Sodom and Gomorrah are around.

It is dark around, and, even in the daytime, the sun is no longer shining to your window. And all around care no longer.

Todd: Finally, with the first blood, my pain broke through. My pain, my pain, my pain...

And who said that I have no right to take revenge, when the soul can no longer hold the pain? I will be happy to stand at the gates!

The Priest: Let your sworn enemy face the gates!

Todd: To hell, to heaven! To heaven, to hell. To hell...

The Priest: Throughout the earth, the snake of sin is creeping. Just like a soldier, you must fearlessly stand against that. And everyone, who is somewhat guilty, no matter who they are – must! – serve the punishment!

Here, both the prosecutor and the advocate are guilty, and the judge is corrupt – guilty, guilty, everyone is guilty.

The narrator’s voice: People began to disappear in London, traceless. Monstrous rumors creep along the dark streets, and from the meat grinder comes out human mince. Patties from Lovett began to be in great demand, because sometimes visitors find in them a silver button or a gold cufflink. Yes, life is full of surprises. The patties bakery has become a fashionable place.
