(Army) Xena! Xena! Xena! Xena! Xena! Xena!
Praise the winds of chance that blew
Xena's back, her friends are true
We will fight to death for you
Brave Xena
When your mighty chakram arcs
Throwing fierce magnetic sparks
No one ever hits their marks
Like Xena
Praised for prowess with a sword
Who's as feard as is adored
You've not lived 'till you've been gored
By Xena
(Individuals) You're the Warrior Princess
Who's as strong as an oak
You've got eyes that could tear out the heart of a bloke
With one look you can wilt a flower
Curdle milk or make men cower
Welcome home, Xena, welcome home!
(Xena) Ares. I thought as much,
But why the big production number?
What's the point?
(Ares) 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 plate
You singe me with the ardor you inflame
And in my carnal heart there's not a sorry shred of shame
(Army) You and me love war
Doesn't matter what it's for
Pandemonium reigns
And we're bludgeoning brains
Give us war, war, war
Keep it down to our roar
(Individuals) Words of wisdom, Ares said
When in battle, keep your head
Warriors love war, war, war
Yeah!
(Villagers) Gabrielle, Gabrielle, Gabrielle
Over the bridge of tears she's crossed
And she's paid a fearful cost
Her blood innocence is lost
Gabrielle!
Now the past has set her free
And she has traveled home to be
With her old friends, you and me
Gabrielle
(Villager) You've been plucked out from the heart of our lives for so long
Now we're greatful you've come back to the place you belong
For what is the panacea
Surely waits in Poteidaia
(Villagers) Welcome home, Gabrielle
Welcome home!
(Lilla) Villains, fools, and kings have made their mark on you
Leave their easy evil in the dust
If your child had lived we'd surely make her welcome too
(Villagers) You and me love peace
With the ducks and goats and geese
Wile the hours away
Making bread, pitching hay
We love peace, peace, peace
Simple joys that never cease
(Villager) Nothing changes but the time
(Villagers) We don't even change our minds
Villagers love peace, peace peace
(Ares) Pulverizing foes require strategy
There's no mortal born who meets your skill
Xena join my vision, don't deny your destiny
(Army) You and me love war
Doesn't matter what it's for
(Warrior) Chop the tree down
Burn the root
(Ares) Vengeance can be such a hoot
(Army) Warriors love war, war, war
(Lilla) Xena was no friend - she worked to twist your mind
Though you tried to change her deadly ways
Take this scythe
It's just a case of killing to be kind
(Villagers) You and me love peace
With the ducks and goats and geese
(Lilla) Sit and watch the world go by
(Villagers) Vegetate until you die
Villagers love peace, peace peace!
(Army) We love war / (Villagers) Peace is such a lovely state
(Villagers) War can kill you so can hate
(Army) Fear, lies / (Villagers) Here the simple life's a delight!
(Army) Smite and smoke and pulverize!
(Villagers) Just you put your hand in mine / (Army) Pus and gore
(Villagers) Sure your future's on the line
(Army) You've a son you must avenge / (Villagers) You must know that when
(Army) Know you must extract revenge
(Villagers) Hope died to free you / (Army) Don't be put aside by beauty
(Army) Xena you must do your duty!
Peace! War! Peace! War!
Peace! War! Peace! War!
