[Men]
One, two, three, four[Full Company]
Five, six, seven, eight, nine[Burr Hamilton Laurens Lee]
It's the Ten Duel Commandments[Full Company]
It's the Ten Duel Commandments
Number one![Laurens]
The challenge: demand satisfaction
If they apologize
No need for further action[Company]
Number two![Laurens]
If they don't, grab a friend
That's your second[Hamilton]
Your lieutenant when there's reckoning to be reckoned[Company]
Number three![Lee]
Have your seconds meet face to face[Burr]
Negotiate a peace[Hamilton]
Or negotiate a time and place[Burr]
This is commonplace, 'specially 'tween recruits[Company]
Most disputes die, and no one shoots
Number four![Laurens]
If they don't reach a peace, that's alright
Time to get some pistols and a doctor on site[Hamilton]
You pay him in advance, you treat him with civility[Burr]
You have him turn around
So he can have deniability[Company]
Five![Lee]
Duel before the sun is in the sky[Company]
Pick a place to die where it's high and dry
Number six![Hamilton]
Leave a note for your next of kin
Tell 'em where you been
Pray that hell or heaven lets you in[Company]
Seven![Lee]
Confess your sins
Ready for the moment of adrenaline
When you finally face your opponent[Company]
Number eight![Laurens Lee Hamilton Burr]
Your last chance to negotiate
Send in your seconds
See if they can set the record straight[Burr]
Alexander[Hamilton]
Aaron Burr, sir[Burr]
Can we agree that duels are dumb and Immature?[Hamilton]
Sure
But your man has to answer for his words, Burr[Burr]
With his life?
We both know that's absurd, sir[Hamilton]
Hang on, how many men died
Because Lee was inexperienced and ruinous?[Burr]
Okay, so we're doin' this[Company]
Number nine![Hamilton]
Look 'em in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then count[Men]
One two three four[Full Company]
Five six seven eight nine[Hamilton Burr]
Number[Company]
Ten paces![Hamilton Burr]
Fire!
