Текст песни Overture - The New Musical Cast

Tell me it's not true
Say it's just a story
So, did you hear the story of the Johnstone twins
As like each other as two new pens?
Of one womb born on the selfsame day
How one was kept and one given away?
And did you never hear how the Johnstones died
Never knowing that they shared one name
Till the day they died
When a mother cried, "My own dear sons lie slain!"
And did you never hear of the mother so cruel
There's a stone in place of her heart
Then bring her on, and come judge for yourselves
How she came to play this part
