[RUMOUR-MONGER IN CAPTIVITY] (To the R-M chords, slow, dragging) I hurt. I don't know if I can stand any more. I hurt. This never happened before. I hurt. All these indignities heaped upon me. Besides I've given rumours for free. I never meant to betray them. I'm just not the hero breed. Now the reivers will slay them In the hour of their greatest need. I couldn't stand all the questions-- They got what they came to get, And the torturer, damn him, never even Worked up a sweat. My fault. That all my friends will be dead tonight. My fault. Death now would just serve me right. My fault. No, a quick death would be far too humane For me, I should just live with the pain. I should have said I was lying, Should have told them a different tale, But it was no use denying, I suppose I was bound to fail. So the prince and my master, And the captain, the girl and all, If I live they will haunt me For causing their fall. Hey, you! You priests, come listen to what I say! Hey, you! You'll need a victim today. Hey, you! I know you sacrifice folk to the Flame. Take me. You know I'll burn just the same. Use me, For I just can't face the shame.
