Lyrics 93 Maidens - Rachael Sage

93 Maidens

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 yourselves beautiful — you have no choice
we’ll come for your 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
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
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
…I'll meet you when I reach heaven.
