The Bricklayer's Lament

The Bricklayer's Lament is a song well known among the slaves and working class people of Bightport. In Chapter 3.2, Idyllwyl requests that Fiero sing the song and play it on guitar. Maatzyn suggests that they sing it at the same time. The song is slow and dirgy and Fiero admits that he is out of practice due to its unpopularity in King's Promise.

The Lyrics:

Beyond these walls

We sang of better times

These hearts will interwine

Beyond the walls

The bricks resemble

Our pain inside our hearts

And so like the mason

We lay down our hearts
