If love is a crime, then let no sentence remain,
If love is a crime, let no sentence remain.
But let the stone be cast by the sinless one.
Beauty stands ready, to suffer love's decree,
Do not stone my beloved, do not harm he.
Do not stone my beloved, do not harm he.
Beauty stands ready, to suffer love's decree,
Do not stone my beloved, do not harm he.
Do not stone my beloved, do not harm he.
Even stones can bloom, if loyalty takes root,
Even stones can bloom, if loyalty takes root.
It shows the truth to even the fiercest brute,
It shows the truth to even the fiercest brute.
Love can turn the fire into a fragrant shoot.
This spectacle it can boldly display,
This spectacle it can boldly display.
Now, lift your stones, gods of this worldly fray,
Now, lift your stones, gods of this worldly fray.
I will test you, and you, try me today,
I will test you, and you, try me today.
Now the prayer ascends, to the heavens above,
Now the prayer ascends, to the heavens above,
Do not stone my beloved, the power of love.
