lyrics

angels and ministers of grace defend us!
be thou a spirit of health or goblin damn’d,
bring with thee airs from heaven or blasts from hell, be thy intents wicked or charitable,
thou com’st in such a questionable shape
that I will speak to thee – speak to thee – speak to thee
speak to thee – speak to thee

I’ll call thee Hamlet / I’ll call thee Hamlet, o answer me.

it will not speak, then I will follow it –
follow it I do not set my life at a pin‘s fee,
and for my soul, what can it do to that,
and for my soul, what can it do to that,
being a thing immortal as itself;
it waves me forth again – forth again – forth again,
I’ll follow it. – (I’ll) follow it. – (I’ll) follow it.

I’ll call thee Hamlet / I’ll call thee Hamlet,
king, father, royal Dane / king, father, royal Dane.
o answer me.

what may this mean, that thou. /
dead corse, again in complete steel
revisits thus the glimpses of the moon, /
making night hideous / and we fools of nature
so horridly to shake our disposition - our disposition / with thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls?
with thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls? /
say why is this? wherefore?
say why is this? wherefore?

I’ll call thee Hamlet / I’ll call thee Hamlet,
king, father, royal Dane / king, father, royal Dane.
