Album: Xena: Warrior Princess: The Bitter Suite Soundtrack

War and Peace\Gab Is Atabbed

Warriors:
Praise the winds of chance that blew
Xena back where friends are true
We would fight to death for you, brave Xena
When your mighty chakram arcs
throwing fierce magnetic sparks
No one ever hits her marks like Xena
Famed for prowess with a sword
Who's as feared and as adored
You've not lived till you've been gored by Xena

Warrior #1:
You've the Warrior Princess who's as strong as an oak

Warrior #2:
You've got eyes that can tear out the heart of a bloke

Warrior #3:
With one look you can wilt a flower

Warrior #4:
Curdle milk or make men cower

All Warriors:
Welcome home, Xena, welcome home

Xena:
Ares, I though as much. But why the big production number? What's the point?

Ares:
You are the most divine, delicious warrior
A man can't help saluting your return
And if you start my heart it's just the way you slash and burn
Bewitching woman, straining at the armor plate
You singe me with the ardor you inflame
And in my carnal heart there's not a sorry shred of shame

All Warriors:
You and me love war
Doesn't matter what it's for
Pandemonium reigns and we're bludgeoning brains
Gives us War, War, War
Keep it down to a roar

Warrior #5:
Words of wisdom Ares said

Ares:
When in battle keep your head

All Warriors:
Warriors love War, War, War


Gabrielle:
I know this place. These people. That shop! I’m home. This is Poteidaia!

VILLAGER:
Hey look! It’s Gabrielle!

Villagers:
O'er the Bridge of Tears
She's crossed and she's paid a fearful cost
Her blood innocence is lost, Gabrielle
Now the past has set her free
And she's traveled home to be
With her old friends you and me, Gabrielle

Villager #1:
You've been plucked out from the heart of our lives for long

Villager #2:
Now we're grateful you've come back to place you belong

Villager #3:
For what ails the panacea

Villager #4:
Surely waits in Poteidia

All Villagers:
Welcome home, Gabrielle, welcome home

Gabrielle:
Lila! Sister! I can't believe it.

Lila:
Villains, fools and kings have made their mark on you
Leave their easy evil in the dust
If your child had lived, we'd surely make her welcome, too

All Villagers:
You and me love peace with the ducks and goats and geese
While the hours away baking bread, pitching hay
We love peace, peace, peace, simple joys that never cease

Villager #1:
Nothing changes but the time

Small Group of Villagers:
We don't even change our mind

All Villagers:
Villagers love Peace, Peace, Peace

Ares:
Pulverizing foes requires strategy
There's no mortal horn who meets you skill
Xena join my vision - don't deny your destiny

All Warriors:
You and me love war
Doesn't matter what it's for

Warrior #6:
Chop the tree down, burn the root

Ares:
Vengeance can be such a hoot

All Warriors:
Warriors love War, War, War

Lila:
Xena was no friend, she worked to twist your mind
Though you tried to change her deadly ways
Take the scythe - It's just a case of killing to be kind

All Villagers:
You and me love peace with the ducks and goats and geese

Lila:
Sit and watch the world go by

Villager Couple:
Vegetate until you die

All Villagers:
Villagers love Peace, Peace, Peace

Warriors:
We love War
Villagers:
Peace is such a Lovely state...
War can kill you so you hate

Warriors:
Fear! Lies! Smite and smote and pulverize
Villagers:
Here the simple life's a delight

Warriors:
Pus and Gore
Villagers:
Just you put hand in mine,
sure your future's on the line

Warriors:
You've a son you must avenge,
know you must extract revenge
Villagers:
You must know that when

Warriors:
Don't put aside by beauty,
Xena you must do your duty
Villagers:
Hope died she freed you

All Voices:
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah...
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah...
Villagers:
Peace!
Warriors:
War!
Villagers:
Peace!
Warriors:
War!
