Lyrics Dido and Aeneas, Z. 626, Act 3: "Destruction's Our Delight" (Chorus) - Michel Corboz




Destruction's our delight
Delight on greatest sorrow
Elissa dies tonight
And Carthage flames tomorrow
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
Elissa dies tonight
And Carthage flames tomorrow
Destruction's our delight
Delight on greatest sorrow
Elissa dies tonight
And Carthage flames tomorrow
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
Elissa dies tonight
And Carthage flames tomorrow
