Xena : My heart is hurting beyond words. The pain is tearing up my soul. These days have seen my spirit die, my life propelled out of control.
Xena : My wounds lie naked to the world, my depth of suffering exposed. This damaged past can never heal until this nightmare book is closed.
Gabrielle : My heart is hurting beyond words. The pain is tearing up my soul. Please tell me, how can I retrieve the life that all this sadness stole?

Xena : [sings] I never dreamed that we'd be distanced by our hate, that all the trust we had would go...
Gabrielle : [sings] How could I hate you?
Xena : [sings] How could it come to pass, this awful twist of fate?
Gabrielle : [sings] How could I hurt you?
Xena : [sings] This madness can't be so!
Gabrielle : [sings] I can't believe it...
Xena : [sings] I never dreamed that any barriers could rise,
Gabrielle : [sings] Or that I'd ever see the stranger in your eyes!
Xena : [sings] Our hearts were hurting both the same...
Gabrielle : [sings] The hurt was tearing up our souls!
Xena : [sings] The fury in us made us blind...
Gabrielle : [sings] We could not see beyond the pain!
Xena : [sings] If we can turn again to love...
Gabrielle : [sings] If we can heal these open wounds!
Xena : [sings] We'll leave this hatred far behind,
Gabrielle : [sings] So not a trace of hate remains!
Xena , Gabrielle : [singing] We'll overcome our damaged past, and we'll grow stronger side by side to stand together through the storm. We're safe 'cause love will be our guide!

Gabrielle : What's causing that?
Xena : We are. Or I should say, you are.
Gabrielle : There you go again. You're always blaming me for everything!
[echoes increase]
Gabrielle : Xena, why is it never your fault?
Xena : It's the past! Each time we accuse each other about the past, the echoes start and we can't hear one another!
Gabrielle : How do we stop it?
Xena : Tell me how you feel! Right now, nothing about the past! Right now!

Xena : [Xena sees Ares sitting on the throne; Xena talks to him] Ares... I thought as much, but why the big production number? What's the point?
Ares : [begins singing] You are the most divine delicious warrior. / A man can't help saluting your return. / And if you start my heart it's just the way you slash and burn./ Bewitching woman straining at the armor plates. / You singe me with the ardor you inflame./ And in my carnal heart there's not a solid thread of shame.
[cuts Xena's shoulder straps, causing her dress to fall to the ground around her ankles, leaving her completely naked in front of Ares and his soldiers; Xena glares at him in disbelief and defiance]

Xena : [singing to Gabrielle] Forgive me and you'll discover too, that the love of your love is you...
