93 Maidens Lyrics

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.
