Seventeen Years of Sorrow Lyrics

Voice - Elizabeth Lilburne (Maddy Prior)

Chorus:
Seventeen years of sorrow pierce my heart
Seventeen years of sorrow pierce my heart
My one regret is for the time we spent apart.
Seventeen years of sorrow pierce my heart
You said you neither love a slave nor fear a tyrant,
While all these days you've been more a slave than most.
Chained by your own ideas of Freedom.
'Til you left the ones you love the most.
You are even now as a candle
Burning out your heart to light the way.
But as you did what needed to be done
You let seventeen years of sorrow pierce my heart.
