Rasputina- Herb Girls of Birkenau

EXPERIMENT VICTIMS WALK BY ON A HILL
WITH BERRIES IN APRONS, I SE THEM STILL
SEE BLACK EMPTY EYES STARING, NO HAIR, YET AHEAD
THERE'S NO DIGNITY THERE, THEY'RE NOT LIVING, NOT DEAD

SWAYBACK, AND RIPCHORD AND PARACHUTE FACE
WERE PULLED FROM THE WATER AND PUT IN A PLACE
I'VE NOT BEEN TO, BUT WHAT YOU'LL FIND
IS THE KOMMANDMENT HOARDING THE VEGETABLE RINDS

IT'S NOT LIKE THEY MATTERED
WHO SUCKED OUT YOUR SPIRIT?
LISTEN HOW WE SHOUT AT THEM
THEY CAN'T HEAR IT

IT'S NOT FAIR
AND IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE
THAT IT HAPPENED AT ALL
THAT THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO SAW
THE HERB GIRLS OF BIRKENAU

THE HERB GIRLS OF BIRKENAU WALK BY ON A HILL
WITH BERRIES IN APRONS, I STILL SEE THEM STILL

IT'S NOT FAIR
AND IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE
THAT IT HAPPENED AT ALL
THAT THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO SAW
THE HERB GIRLS

BUT WHAT'S FAIR?
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
BUT CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WERE
PEOPLE WHO SAW THE HERB GIRLS?

IT'S NOT FAIR
AND IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE
THAT IT HAPPENED AT ALL
THAT THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO SAW
THE HERB GIRLS OF BIRKENAU

This song always gives me chills.

[42Unknowns]

@MuffinsATTACK69 *claps hands* I applaud you for your knowledge. It is good to know that people know history in a Bieber/Internet obsessed world...

@xchiaroscura Correction: Birkenau= work camp in the Holocaust. Auschwitz was the death camp. Birkenau was the larger portion of the camp as a working facility, whereas Auschwitz was the small portion, since its function was solely mass-execution.

Melora has an "old spirit" if ever there was someone to possess such a thing. The things she sings about are not necessarily pressing issues of daily life for modern folk but still strike a chord (pun somewhat intended) with modern audiences who may never bother to look for a deeper meaning, though it is almost always there. Hauntingly beautiful work.

This song reminds me of something. I can't remember what though, but I know it's not a song.

First time hearing this song, which is surprising.. chilling song.

[SanguaineSeek]

I just got back from their Austin show.

They are so good...

The guy next to me was so drunk and rude but Melora handled it great. We were up front.
