Cast a Spell - Blue Edition

[GRACE, spoken]
I'll set up a vibe and you go for it!

[ASTERION, spoken]
I'm not great at words. I'm more of a dancer

[GRACE, spoken]
Just speak from the heart. Be honest! You can do it!

[ASTERION]
You cast a spell on me
Not literally, obviously
But I feel in summary
You and me are meant to be
'Cause you put a hex on me
You didn't do it to me directly
I'm not blaming you specifically
Just that metaphorically--

Shit. Can someone help me?

Right off the bat, I'm done
'Cause you've gone all quiet
Deafening silence
I'm just joking, having fun
So let's ignore that bit before

[HECATE]
I knew this would come -
It was written
A confession unbidden
You say that you're smitten
Perhaps you're possessed
I have one request:
Is this real how you feel?
Or is this part of some elaborate jest?

[ASTERION, spoken]
It's not, my love

[FREDDIE, spoken]
"My love?"

[GRACE, spoken]
Yes, keep going
Try again!

[ASTERION]
You've cast a spell on me
It's a feeling that's killing me
But let's say categorically
Oh Katie, it's just you and me!

Everything I do for you
Is perfect for this minotaur
And sure, I killed your cat, Baboo
But watch me move this shelf
All by myself

[HECATE]
I saw this day long ago
What to do? I do not know
I was dismissive of any true kind of love
Of my own

(spoken)
Yet I'm not alone
You have always been true...
It is all too...

[ASTERION, spoken]
I-I don't mean to confuse you my love

[HECATE, spoken]
"My love?"

[GRACE, spoken]
Oh god--

[ASTERION, spoken]
Is that too weird?

[HECATE, spoken]
I have yet to decide, Asterion

[ASTERION, spoken]
Then, uh...

[GRACE, spoken]
Keep it together, Asterion
Don't lose it!

[ASTERION]
Hecate, you've cast a spell on me!
And I'm ashamed at what your magic has done to me
I could've kept my mouth shut now it's agony
And you've gone all weird and that's what I feared

Someone please rescue me!

[FREDDIE]
Stand back, there's nothing to see
Everyone move along
It's a car crash of a song

[GRACE]
But you're wrong
Make no apology
See, she hasn't disappeared

[HECATE]
She is standing right here!

[ASTERION]
I know when I stand next to you I don't feel like such a freak
I know you feel that way too
You're not like other gods
My love, what are the odds that we're here?
Us outsiders should cheer that we've found each other!

[GRACE, spoken]
Why didn't you open with that?

[ASTERION, spoken]
Oh, was that good?

[HECATE]
I'm tempted but what you're all telling me
Is nothing will go wrong for it's destiny
Have you truly considered this carefully
That magic takes a toll
And if you lose control
The cost is paid by reality

Is my heart worth everything going amiss?
I cannot protect you from the dark abyss
So don't dismiss, just resist

[ASTERION]
You think that I don't know the darkness inside of me?
You know the stars but do you remember your history?
I love the person I have become
You changed me

Come with me
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me

[HECATE, spoken]
I cannot do this, Asterion
The pain you feel now is nothing compared to what would come

[ASTERION, spoken]
But the pain I feel now...
Kate, it's killing me!

[HECATE, spoken]
I can take it away
You need only say the word

[ASTERION, spoken]
Do it

[GRACE, spoken]
Wait--

[ASTERION, spoken]
I have to do this, Grace
I want this

[HECATE]
I call on the heralds of an ancient darkness
To guide this sweet creature off this treacherous road
In all of creation, love is most leaden
I beg of the cosmos to lighten his load

[HECATE, GRACE & FREDDIE]
For he may love, but will not be in love
(For he may love, but will not be in love)
Your love was never a lie, it is simply no longer true
(For he may love, but will not be in love)
And I know in my heart, I am rescuing you

[HECATE]
The Arrow of Eros...I force to undo
I put a spell on you
