Lyrics

Elsa:
It's finally come
Come to knock down the door
I can't hide this time
Like I hid before

The storm is awake
The danger is real
My time's running out
Don't feel, don't feel

"Fear will be your enemy
And death it's consequence"
That's what they once said to me
And it's starting to make sense

All this pain, all this fear
Began because of me,
Is the thing they see
The thing I have to be?

A monster, are they right?
Has the dark in me finally come to light?
Am I a monster, full of rage?
Nowhere to go, but on a rampage?
Or am I just a monster, in a cage?

Ensemble:
End this winter
Bring back summer
Keep your guard up

Hans:
No harm comes to her!

Ensemble:
End this winter
Bring back summer
Keep your guard up!

Elsa:
What do I do?
No time for crying now
I started a storm
Gotta stop it somehow

Do I keep running?
How far do I have to go?
And would that take the storm away
Or only make it grow?

I'm making my world colder
How long can it survive?
Is everyone in danger
As long as I'm alive?

Was I a monster from the start?
How did I end up with this frozen heart?
Bringing destruction to the stage
Caught in a war that I never meant to wage
Do I kill the monster?

Father, you know what's best for me
If I die, will they be free?
Mother, what if after I'm gone
The cold gets colder, and the storm rages on?

No, I have to stay alive
To fix what I've done
Save the world from myself
And bring back the sun

Elsa: (Ensemble:)
If I'm a monster, then it's true
(End this winter, bring back summer)
There's only one thing that's left for me to do
(Keep your guard up)
But before I fade to white
(End this winter, bring back summer)
I'll do all that I can to make things right
(Keep your guard up...)
Elsa:
I cannot be a monster
I will not be a monster
Not tonight!

Ensemble:
Monster!

Elsa:
What have I done?
What you’re not supposed to do
Couldn’t help myself
What is wrong with you?

The look on her face
So much shock and betrayal
You try to be good
But you fail, you fail

"Fear will be your enemy
And death it's consequence"
That's what they once said to me
And it's starting to make sense

All this pain, all this fear
Began because of me,
Is the thing they see
The thing I have to be?

A monster, are they right?
Has the dark in me finally come to light?
Am I a monster, full of rage?
Nowhere to go, but on a rampage?
Or am I just a monster, in a cage?

Ensemble:
End this winter
Bring back summer
Keep your guard up

Hans:
No harm comes to her!

Ensemble:
End this winter
Bring back summer
Keep your guard up!

Elsa:

No time for crying now

And would that take the storm away
Or only make it grow?

I'm making my world colder
How long can it survive?
Is everyone in danger
As long as I'm alive?

Was I a monster from the start?
How did I end up with this frozen heart?
Bringing destruction to the stage
Caught in a war that I never meant to wage
