A Song by Sir Seronia Merritt
(OOG: Sung to the Tune of "Boston" by Augustana)
In the light of the sun,
when the battle's done,
nowhere left to run.
The Sessai took the loss,
fields are red and blood is shed,
I barely saw her, then she said,
"You don't know me, and you don't even care,
you don't know me, and you don't wear my chains."
The truth became so real,
I felt the life she lost,
and pain I could not heal.
When strangers bid for you,
they're not the only ones,
lying to deceive you.
She said...
"You don't know me, and you don't even care,
you don't know me, and you don't wear my chains."
She said "I think I'll go to Blackstone,
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over,
where no one knows my pain.
I'll leave all the hurt within ya,
get myself together,
there's so much to discover,
now that the master's slain.
I think I'll go to Blackstone,
chase my fond desires,
I think I need a new town,
to leave this all behind.
I think I need a sunrise,
I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear it's nice in the summer,
some freedom would suffice.
You don't know me, and you don't even care.
Blackstone, where no one known my pain..."
