Xena: Warrior Princess
Volume 3. The Bitter Suite: Musical Odyssey (1998)
Music and lyrics by Joseph LoDuca 

DAHAK:
It begins very small
Seems like nothing much at all
Just a germ, just a speck, just a grain
But the seed has been sown
And before you know it’s grown
It has spread through your life like a stain
And its power will strangle your love and your joy
And its hunger consumes for it lives to destroy

XENA (spoken):
Gabrielle, that’s what we’re fighting: hatred!
 [bad word] 
Hate is the star
It [bad word] who you are
Not the hated but the hater
Has a torment that’s greater

DAHAK:
It will eat you alive
Consume you and spit you out
Hate’s gonna win,
That there’s no doubt about
Hate doesn’t care who you are
 [bad word] 
Hate is the star!

DAHAK:
Learning hate is an art
Even people who are smart
Can be caught
Can be [bad word] Can be creamed
It has swallowed you whole…
Did you think you’re in control?
Hate you thought, hate you spoke, hate you dreamed
All your hate gave me substance
Your lives are undone
It’s your eve of [bad word] Your hatred has won
