Emilia Galotti
Emilia Galotti is a play in five acts by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729–1781), which premiered on 8 March 1772 in Brunswick ("Braunschweig" in German). The work is a classic example of German bürgerliches Trauerspiel (bourgeois tragedy). Other works in this category include Schiller's Kabale und Liebe and Hebbel's Maria Magdalene. The story is based upon the Roman myth of Verginia.
Emilia Galotti is a drama of the Enlightenment, though it doesn't precisely follow the standard French model of the era. Although love is a central theme, in reality Emilia Galotti is primarily a political commentary. The arbitrary style of rule by the aristocracy is placed in stark contrast to the new and enlightened morality of the bourgeoisie. The more feudal ideas of love and marriage thus come into conflict with the growing tendency to marry for love, rather than family tradition and power. This combination results in a rather explosive situation. It was made into a film in 1958.

EMILY
by: ColdThere's a cross she made that has her name
In the garden by the store
With a picture and a note that says
I can't feel you anymore
Was it God in here
Did He make you pray
Did He burn you up
Does it taste the same
When everyone around you falls apart
Was it God in here
Did He make you pray
Did He burn you up
Did He save the day
When everyone around you falls apart
I can see her through the window pane
Trying hard not to call
When she lost her boy she went insane
She don't live her anymore
Was it God in here
Did He make you pray
Did He burn you up
Does it taste the same
When everyone around you falls apart
Was it God in here
Did He make you pray
Did He burn you up
Did He save the day
When everyone around you falls apart
She stood and prayed for our souls
Our hearts, our love to start
Was it God in here
Did He make you pray
Did He burn you up
Does it taste the same
When everyone around you falls apart
Was it God in here
Did He make you pray
Did He burn you up
Did He save the day
