I strike him right between his ribs
00:00:06.381 --> 00:00:09.003
I walk towards him But I am ushered away
00:00:13.096 --> 00:00:15.039
They row him back across the Hudson
00:00:19.999 --> 00:00:20.436
I get a drink
00:00:25.149 --> 00:00:27.777
I hear wailing in the streets
00:00:30.864 --> 00:00:33.408
Somebody tells me You'd better hide
00:00:36.995 --> 00:00:41.666
They say Angelica and Eliza
00:00:41.749 --> 00:00:45.001
Were both at his side when he died
00:00:45.999 --> 00:00:49.424
Death doesn't discriminate Between the sinners and the saints
00:00:49.507 --> 00:00:52.002
It takes and it takes and it takes
00:00:52.135 --> 00:00:56.181
History obliterates In every picture it paints
00:00:56.264 --> 00:00:59.058
It paints me in all my mistakes
00:00:59.517 --> 00:01:02.729
When Alexander aimed at the sky
00:01:02.812 --> 00:01:05.523
He may have been the first one to die
00:01:05.607 --> 00:01:08.996
But I'm the one who paid for it
00:01:09.777 --> 00:01:12.572
I survived but I paid for it
00:01:15.095 --> 00:01:19.999
Now I'm the villain in your history
00:01:21.873 --> 00:01:27.017
I was too young and blind to see
00:01:27.001 --> 00:01:31.999
I should've known I should've known
00:01:31.001 --> 00:01:34.999
The world was wide enough
00:01:34.001 --> 00:01:39.001
For both Hamilton and me
00:01:42.602 --> 00:01:45.002
The world was wide enough
00:01:45.098 --> 00:01:52.904
For both Hamilton and me
