Tonart: D major•
Verse 1
D
I've heard that they call me the woman
Em
D
Who has fallen into many sins
They made me bear myrrh to the burial
Cm
D
And at the graveside, I began to sing
Verse 2
D
Woe to me, all of you sinners
I'm the lady of a moonless night
A
D
Gm
The darkness to me is my ecstasy
D
But for my sins I am far from contrite
They dragged me away from the library
I was cast to the bride- show's
harsh light
A
Gm
Where I told the king I was better than him
D
And thus earned Theophilus' spite
Verse 3
Em
And Theo, he thinks I still love him
D
But I know him, and he knows not a thing
Em
D
They call me Kassiani
Verse 4
The woman who rejected the king
D
Now the emperor, he tore down the icons
The images and words thought divine
A
But in the quiet of my cell
D
And the name that I signed with was mine
I was scourged with the lash
for my impudence
My tears were a fountain of brine
A
D
But I conceded no defeat,
Gm
my groaning heart beats
D
With defiant blue blood Byzantine
Verse 5
Em
And Theo, he thinks I still love him
knows not a thing
Em
Don't disregard me as a servant,
As the woman who rejected
Interlude 1
the king

D
Verse 6
Cm
Yes I hid from his eyes
when he visited
D
But don't dare think me
frightened or meek
Cm
I was sick of his ineffable condescension
D
And I will not kiss those sacred feet
Cm
I will make his footsteps into music
D
To be heard by both heathen
and Greek
Cm
They will mock his meanderings
in Paradise at twilight
D
Gm
D
And they'll remember me, Kassiani
A
D
She who hates silence
G
D
when it's time to speak
Verse 7
Em
And Theo, he thinks I still love him
D
He knows not the multitude
of my sins
Em
They will sing my song after
Byzantium has gone
D
The woman who rejected the king
Verse 8
D
I've heard all the things
that they've called me
D
It's just so many arrows and slings
Leave the glory to the stepmother,
and to the son
I'm the woman who rejected the king
