93 Maidens Songtext

von Rachael Sage

I am a maiden - one of 93
But I won't die the least mysteriously
I go to school in the town of Warsaw
Today they came for us all

I am a girl – they are not men
I am a woman but don't know it yet
I have a brother 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 meet 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
Refineries soon, but tomorrow
We'll blacken your noon.”

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 meet you when I reach heaven

Blessed art Thou, Lord our God
King of the Universe
There I must stop
What is the blessing of taking our lives
So we won't become our enemies' wives
Blessed art Thou, Lord our God
King of the Universe
There I must stop
What is the blessing of taking our lives
So 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 meet you when I reach
Meet you when I reach

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 meet you when I reach heaven
I'll meet you when I reach heaven
