unexpected words on our way home
there´s a story you never come to know
and as you´re growing older
let´s not a___yze, it´s over
she disappeared in the twenties
her brothers died sailing the east
the waves still carry answears
time is up, I will die anxious

Maria is gone
did she end up all alone?
did she find a place to call home
noone can ever tell
Maria is laughing in her grave

all I know is that she had to leave
worked as a maid in a rich family
slaved for starvation wages
then the book contains some empty pages
maybe she ended up alone
at the time a woman wasn´t her own
now she´s there to remind
the unjustice of another time

the corset is bound to hard
they pulled the ropes around her heart
but she refused to
get used to

the corset is bound to hard
they pulled the ropes around her heart
but she refused to dig her own grave
took the dust of her wings to fly away
