- Seven
- Confession time here's what I got
- My fellow soldiers will tell you I'm a terrible shot
- Number eight
- Your last chance to negotiate
- You send in your second see if they can set the record straight
- They won't teach you this in your classes but look it up
- Hamilton was wearing his glasses
- Why if not to take deadly aim
- It's him or me the world will never be the same
- I had only one thought before the slaughter
- This man will not make an orphan of my daughter
- Number nine
- Look him in the eye aim no higher
- Summon all the courage you require
- Then count
- One two three four five six seven eight nine
- Number ten places fire
- I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
- Is this where it gets me on my feet several feet ahead of me
- I see it coming do I run or fire my gun or let it be
- There is no beat no melody
- Burr my first friend my enemy
- Maybe the last face I ever see
- If I throw away my shot is this how you'll remember me
- What if this bullet is my legacy
- Legacy what is a legacy
- It's planting seeds in a garden you never get to see
- I wrote some notes at the beginning of a song someone will sing for me
- America you great unfinished symphony you sent for me
- You let me make a difference a place where
- Even orphan immigrants can leave their fingerprints and rise up
- I'm running out of time I'm running and my time's up wise up eyes up
- I catch a glimpse of the other side
- Laurens leads a soldier's on the other side
- My son is on the other side he's with my mother on the other side
- Washington is watching from the other side
- Teach me how to say goodbye
- Rise up rise up rise up eliza

- Raise a glass to freedom
- He aims his pistol at the sky
- Wait
- I strike him right between his ribs
- I walk towards him but I am ushered away
- They row him back across the hudson
- I get a drink
- I hear wailing in the streets
- Somebody tells me you'd better hide
- They say angelica and eliza
- Were both at his side when he died
- Death doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints
- It takes and it takes and it takes
- History obliterates
- Every picture it paints it paints me and all my mistakes
- When alexander aimed at the sky
- He may have been the first one to die
- But I'm the one who paid for it
- I survived but I paid for it
- Now I'm the villain in your history
- I was too young and blind to see
- I should've known I should've known
- The world was wide enough for both hamilton and me
- The world was wide enough for both hamilton and me
Be Burr~
