Queen of sorrow ain't that your name In a world of darkness with no one to blame You watch from a distance and wonder how come Some people walk so easily under the sun Tell me darlin' what are you thinking of When you give your loyalty to strangers And betray the ones you love Is it because of all those strangers They help you go on hiding from Your loss of faith to your rightful place Under the sun Once you walked so proud to a rebel drum But all your victories were too hard won And all the precious gifts of the land Fell through your tired hands Queen of sorrow ain't that your name What's born in anger ends in shame Trust me darlin' we shall overcome Take my hand and face your rightful place Under the sun
