Lyrics
Lucretia
by Tammy
© 2013
Virtuous Lucretia, fairest of all creatures
Her husband wanted it known
to all the King's son's of Rome
his wife was beyond compare
one son's lust could not be beared
Virtuous Lucretia, fairest of all creatures
his thirst for her must be quenched
his sword pressed upon her breast
an invasion of her soul
took her honor and his own
Bridge
Avenge me!
Lucretia begged her family
then she plunged a knife in deep
to set herself free
Virtuous Lucretia, fairest of all creatures
the bloodied blade held up high
war was waged for all their crimes
no longer will Kings rule Rome
Lucretia's soul has come home
