"The Maiden Wouldn't Sing" is a song in Ghost of a Tale. It recounts the story of Tilo and Merra, who were imprisoned by Baron Osdrik for refusing to perform.
Lyrics[]
"Sing the Poisoned Cup, for to hear it I demand!"
Barked the Baron from his throne to the maiden down below
"Oh please, Merra my love! Do as asked, it matters not"
"You need not mean it, you do not!" implored the minstrel to his doe
But the maiden wouldn't sing and her silence grew so loud
That a clamor to chastise her rose like thunder through the crowd
