From the recording The Life and Death of Mary Read
Lyrics
For what one would or would not do, no one to wile
You’re like your peers - predictable
Never the first to feel warranted, justified
Faith and forgiving
Rue and remorse
Pretense and lies
Silver and salt
Faith and forgiving
Rue and remorse
Pretense and lies
Silver and salt
Granted respite but not safety - where are you, Anne?
She, unlike you, is favoured
Fever and blood need no jury, no sentence
Faith and forgiving
Rue and remorse
Pretense and lies
Silver and salt
Faith and forgiving
Rue and remorse
Pretense and lies
Silver and salt
