| Lyrics: | She was binding the wounds of her enemies when they came They battered the door with their rifle-butts, crashed into it They haled her before the judges where they sat With question and menace the judges assailed her, “Yes, I have broken your law,” she said. “I have tended the hurt and hidden the hunted, have done As a sister does to a brother, “Deal as you will with me. To live in the life I vowed.” In the terrible hour of the dawn, when the veins are cold, They led her forth to the wall. She said Love requires of me all. She faced them gentle and bold She faced them gentle and bold She faced them gentle and bold She faced them gentle and bold Instrumental She faced them gentle and bold She faced them gentle and bold She faced them gentle and bold She faced them gentle and bold |
