93 Maidens

Rachael Sage · The Blistering Sun [2006]

I am a maiden one of 93

But I won't die the least bit mysteriously

I go to school in the town of Warsaw

Today they came for us all

I am a girl but they are not men

I am a woman but don't know it yet

I have a brother but don't know his name

He was born in the barracks in shame



Mama where are you, where have you gone?

I need you with me to drink the poison

For I'm nobody's martyr, only your daughter

I'll reach you when I reach heaven



One of them spoke with a terrible voice

He said make yourself beautiful - you have no choice

We'll come for you refinery soon

By tomorrow we'll blacken the moon



Mama where are you, where have you gone?

I need you with me to drink the poison

For I'm nobody's martyr, only your daughter

I'll reach you when I reach heaven



Blessed art thou oh lord our God

King of the universe there I must stop,

What is the blessing for taking our lives

So that we won't become our enemies wives
