Brave & True from Iona by Chrysalis

[Violet]

When I was a baby
My mother dropped me
On a side street
She didn’t want me

And ever since that day
It feels like they all say
I should’ve stayed that way
Frozen stiff and gray

‘Cause who wants a whoreson
A bastard, a killer
A slut and a monster
Oh, what haven’t I heard?

And all I wanted was to see your kingdom fall
And now with the chance I find I can’t hate you at all
I spent my life thinking about nothing except for you
But when I die I want to die for something brave and true

Jezebel, promise me
You’ll destroy everything
Iona, queens, kings
The land deeds and slavery

We can’t build on soiled ground
I trust that you’ll know how
To keep all of your vows
And do what you espouse

[Violet] + (Jezebel)

And all I wanted was to see your kingdom fall (how can this be true)
And now with the chance I find I can’t hate you at all (I disappointed you)
I spent my life thinking ‘bout nothing except you (to make my kingdom fall)
But when I die I want to die for something brave and true (but I know it’s all my fault)

[Violet]

We will be heard
We won’t be their slaves
We toiled long hours
But not today

[Annabelle]

If you could see the way that I see you
You wouldn’t have to prove a thing, you could just be you
Didn’t have to save the world, you just had to stay alive
Now try

[Jezebel]

Iona
Land that I call home
My love for you it grows
But the suffering it shows

Iona
Land that I call home
My love for you was pure
But I guess it is no more
