a song about Agafia Lykova

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agafia_Lykova

lyrics

deep in the northern forests
beyond the reach of wars and heresies
at the edge of a fallen world
with a mind from the 17th century
fled down the raging river
in a boat made from a hollow tree
to escape extermination
by the soviet police

Agafia

now you're sat spinning wool
in a tiny rickety hut
your teeth are all ground down
to yellowing stumps
every surface covered
in a fine layer of dirt
you're laughing through the pain
and setting back to work

Agafia

buried beneath wooden crosses
your family all dead
god took them from this earth
now you're the only one that's left
baking bread and milking goats
tending crops and chopping wood
you sing matins and vespers
and wait for the end of the world

Agafia
