- FORTUNE FAVORS THE BRAVE Lyrics SOLDIERS Oh, Oh Fortune Favors the Brave Oh, Oh Fortune Favors the Brave (RADAMES, an Egyptian Army Captain enters.) RADAMES We have swept to glory, Egypt's mastery expands From the Nile's northern most delta To the dry, dry southern sands The more we find, the more we see, The more we come to learn The more that we explore, The more we shall return SOLDIERS Oh, oh Fortune favors the brave RADAMES It's all worked out, my road is clear The lines of latitude extend Way beyond my wildest dreams Toward some great triumphant end We seize the day We turned the tide We touched the stars We mocked the grave We moved into uncharted lands RADAMES & SOLDIERS Fortune favors the brave RADAMES The more we find, the more we see The more we come to learn The more that we explore The more we shall return Nothing is an accident We are free to have it all We are what we want to be It's in ourselves to rise or fall This is easy to believe When distant places call to me It's harder from the palace yard Fortune favors the free SOLDIERS Oh, oh RADAMES Fortune favors the young! SOLDIERS Oh, oh RADAMES Fortune favors the brave! (Suddenly, AIDA and NUBIAN WOMEN are pushed onstage. She stumbles. RADAMES goes over to inspect the Nubians.) RADAMES What have we here? SOLDIER #1 We found them along the riverbank, Captain. (SOLDIER pushes AIDA forward, into RADAMES' path.) RADAMES (to AIDA) Your country is at war and you go wandering along the Nile's edge. Your must have a burning desire to see Egypt. (to SOLDIER) Put her in Chains (SOLDIER begins putting AIDA in chains. RADAMES turns to another SOLDIER.) Have you finished the map? SOLDIER #2 Yes, Captain. RADAMES Good work. But this is wrong. (He traces his finger over the map) But this is wrong, from the mast it looked like it curved to the North...like this. Here, let me show you. (AIDA has taken a sword from a drunken soldier and is pointing it at the man who shackled her.) SOLDIER #1 My sword! My sword! (AIDA sword fights with the soldiers, taking one captive.) AIDA Release them. RADAMES (Crossing to AIDA) Hand it over. Now! AIDA (She holds the sword close to the soldier's neck.) You took us from Nubia...and now you say we belong to you, yes? RADAMES Yes. AIDA Well, I took this soldier from your ranks. So, by your own logic he belongs to me. Now let them go. (RADAMES smiles in acknowledgement, then points to THE WOMEN. SOLDIERS instantly grab them. AIDA lays down the sword. A SOLDIER snatches it up.) SOLDIER #1 Throw her in the River. RADAMES No, I have a better plan for her.
