lyrics

Katarina (Katharina Schmidlin,1641-52)
An Ode to the Witch-hunt – Lucerne, Switzerland

A fair Swiss girl
Eleven years young
Full of hope
Beauty unsung
She knew why her clay bird would fly away

Rugged sculptor
Birds her muse
Stuck in a time
When power abuse
She knew why her clay bird would fly away

Katarina Katarina
Looked to the sky above
Katarina Katarina
Surrendered to love

Caught in the wheel
Political shun
Collective hate
To the fire succumb
She knew why her clay bird would fly away

Katarina Katarina
Looked to the sky above
Katarina Katarina
Surrendered to love

Dark day
Heart betrayed
God looked away
Breath gone
Pain gone
Soaring…flying

Katarina Katarina
Looked to the sky above
Katarina Katarina
Surrendered to love…..

She would fly away
