[00:55.859]The courtroom ...
[00:55.859]The courtroom was packed as the verdict was delivered
[01:04.279]The quiet defendant sat paralysed in disbelief
[01:07.306]Her hands would be severed, she would be hung and then burnt
[01:44.255]I turned to console her but she was already being ushered away
[01:48.603]Her life had never been an easy one
[01:52.868]Forced to procreate like beasts in dark stables
[01:56.960]She wept whenever she laid her head down to sleep

[04:26.952]But when the hangman tripped the switch
[04:31.699]Her body finally fell towards its fate
[04:37.048]Afterwards the empty carcass was flunt upon the pyre
[04:43.068]Her neighbors and comrades all watched as the hem of her skirt ignited
