Napier’s Bride

Zadig September 5, 1999

Tags:

How much more shall ye bleed

How much more shall ye suffer

How much more shall ye sweat

All for the sake of the other,

while you yourself whiter

How sad Napier would be,

to look upon thee

For Napier's bride is no more



They taunt thee,

They sell thy soul, thy innocence

They
href="/tag/rape">rape thee--again and again

And God looks away in shame,

as ye suffer is pain

How sad Napier would be,

to look upon thee

For Napier's bride is no more



They've killed thy father, thy mother

and also thy sister, and thy brother

They molest thy child in perverted frenzy

They torture and torment thee as well

And cursed is thy health,

for the sake of their wealth

How sad Napier would be,

to look upon thee

For Napier's bride is no more



They steal from thee,

They betray thee--time and again

And ye do nothing, but stand still--Why?

'Tis time to change, to unleash your fury

'Tis time to regain your past glory

O! How happy Napier would be, to look upon thee

If Napier's bride is once more.

Zadig is a disillusioned engineering student who finds refuge in existential philosophy, poetry, and Russian literature
