The Jews receive Haman's mandate to eliminate every of their old and young, woman and child in the Persian Empire—in each province, in each state.
JEWS
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Sackcloth ashes cover me
Fasting mourning let us be
MORDECAI
What is this I see,
there is serious danger and it's cause of me,
there’s an evil scheme, and now it's aimed at the Jews!
Aren’t you all in the know how we'd suffer so and we'd go in one blow
All you friends and foes, can’t you see my woe, all of you!
PERSIAN SERVANT 1
Isn't he Mordekhai?
Royal servant on high?
PERSIAN SERVANT 2
We're confused and perplexed
Why are all the Jews vexed?
PERSIAN SERVANT 3
It's because they are next
On the list of the ones sold to die
JEWS
Sackcloth ashes cover me
Fasting mourning let us be
JEWISH WOMAN
My path has already been drawn
I can’t go on
I can’t go on with my life
JEWISH MAN
My fate has already been sealed
The end is real
Embrace your children and your wives
ESTHER
(MORDECAI)
My Mordecai what's this I hear of you?
(How to go on in this life?)
You cry and you're feeling blue
(How great is this strife!)
Please don't wear ashes anymore
(I must cry, don't you know?)
Cause I send you garments new
(I won't wear 'em, I refuse… noooo!)
What's going on with you?
(Don't you know what we're going through?)
I long to see you soon
(I long to see you soon)
