Tybalt and Catherine
Chorus
Deep within the fair shores of Italy
Two unlikely lovers
Are bound in matrimony;
A spirited maiden,
A fierce fencer.
Both are brought together
By a duty to their guardians.
The maiden at first
Shows little interest
And seeks to break the engagement.
Seeing she is neither perverse or false
But honest and true,
The fencer pursues
Vigorously, determinedly and yet playfully
Founding the origin
Of the maiden's scorn.
But soon through unexpected tragedy
And an unbreakable promise,
The lovers truly unite.
Their love grows fiercely
And flourishes into the purest love
Stronger, wiser, and sweeter
Than the lovers ever expected.
But more tragedy and tribulations
Rage through as a storm ravages a valley.
Fate is changed and thwarted
As lives are saved
That would otherwise be lost.
As more than one life is saved
So is the fencer's life almost lost
Spared only for a worse fate.
But the maiden, now a wife and lady,
Now fiercely attached to her fencer
Embarks on a journey to liberate her lover
And discovers many hidden truths,
The tale of these two lovers
Crescendos to a climatic end
Only after they grow together again
And realize these important truths;
Friends can turn to enemies
And enemies can turn to friends.
And above all,
Fierce and pure love conquers all.
