I Know Who You Were
I know you,
All of you,
Sitting across from me...
He was my husband
We were slaves
The night after our wedding night
He was sent
To be a gladiator,
He died the next morning.
And her, she was my sister.
She poisoned her bread
To end her life
I ate it instead,
On accident.
Then there was him,
He is fatter now, and has blue hair...
He was my lover
My husband found out
I was hanged
The next morning....
But you, sitting here next to me,
I'm not sure who you were.
Did I know you?
Just sit here next to me
Tell your soul
To sing me a gentle song
I will tell you how I know you.
