Jim Skiff - The Confrontation

Chaya, my Varra, what brings you here today?
And you, how dare you show your face again?

My chief, I must confess, I never thought that I would say,
I'm pleased to see your smiling face again.
Of course, I've not forgotten that the last time that we met
You caused me to regret that I had come
But fate has turned the tables, now, I'm happy to report
Some news of great importance to your rule!

Silence! Stay your endless nonsense.
Tell me why you bring this girl before me chained in iron.

We caught this woman burying the body, burying the body
Sprinkling dirt upon that stinking corpse
She is the one who buried the body, buried the body
Now she will be the one to bear your curse.

So, tell me now, my guard, if she was taken in the act?
Describe for me precisely what you saw.

She was caught red handed Sire, I will swear to that
In flagrant disobedience of your law
The other guards and I kept watch atop a nearby hill
So we'd not have to smell that putrid stench
We caught her in broad daylight as she poured the sacred wine
Wailing all the while like some wild bird

Silence! her guilt is obvious!
You're free to go I wish to question her alone

I did not seek to break your rule
But only to obey the laws
That have been given by O Del
For honoring the dead
All those who live will one day die
And though I die before my time,
I know that a reward is mine
Because I have been true
Unto the Apple of the Moon
The Silver Apple of The Moon
I'll not be judged by mortal standards when I die
