Lyrics for 2nd musical number finalized!
Can’t wait to record it next week! Below are the lyrics. “The Sages’ Advice” – How’s this title? Any other suggestions? KING KHASHAYAR: What does the law say about her deed? My most important men MEMUCAN: Women are going to say, “Oh my And every noblewoman in Shushan ALL SEVEN SAGES: Women are going to say, “Oh my The so-called Queen Vashti SAGES INTERRUPT EACH OTHER: MEMUCAN: ENOUGH! Vashti to no longer be our queen When your majesty makes the decree ALL SEVEN SAGES: Someone better than she Someone kind in her words KING KHASHAYAR: (Yes, we all agree!) Decree this new law from Shushan (Yes, immediately!) ALL SEVEN SAGES: [musical interlude] Also, going to be attending a demo production workshop by McKay Garner in a few days’ time, so looking forward to learning more and making the songs sound even better!
Esther 1:12-21
Why do I feel such a pain inside?
Feel like a part of my soul just died!
My anger rages!
My clever sages…
Should things be done or shall I concede?
She dares oppose me!
Alas, oh woe is me…
Need you to show me the way…
Karshna, Shetar, Admata,
Tarshish, Meres, Marsna,
Memukhan, what’d you say?
This is a deed not to be dismissed!
Now every wife will fight and resist
Destroying order
Within your borders!
If the queen did that, then so can I!
Nobody owns me!
I can dethrone thee.”
Will think they can demand from every man
And argue night and day
And not heed anything your officials say
Chaos will brood throughout the land
Affliction heavy as sand
This is a deed not to be dismissed!
Now every wife will fight and resist
We must have order
Within your borders!
If the queen did that, then so can I!
Nobody owns me!
I can dethrone thee.”
has not only disgraced Your Majesty
but also all the nobles of Shushan
and all the peoples in all the 127 lands…
including… the army, the ministers, the servants, the officials, the eunuchs, and your friends
If my king pleases, then let’s proceed
Writing a new law to be decreed
An ultimatum
To warn all madams
Banished for life from the royal scene
She shall not enter
Left, right or center!
And is announced throughout the high and low / length and breadth of the land
Then each wife will certainly see
That she needs to to honour her man
So do away with “queen” Vashti
and find a better wife than she!
And let another take her royal stance
and ever prosper in your regal glance
OR
And let another seek your regal glance
May you bestow on her the royal stance
Someone sweet with humility
Someone people will see and say, she’s a graceful delight!
Someone gentle just like a bird
Someone that you will love above any other in sight.
This is a really good idea
It’s time that Vashti disappears
In every language of the land
So let this law be set in stone,
Vasthi is banished from the throne!
And let the man be head of family
so every home will fear authority
