The morning bell was chiming through the dormitory
Time for the nuns to pray the lauds
Joan’s bed still empty
She ran away, trying to break free
The sisters gathered in the chapel
They felt something was wrong
With empty eyes Margaret bowed her head
«There was an accident,» she said
But she was telling lies
Alice saw it in her eyes
Brazen lies without devout disguise
Abbess Margaret is a serpent in the pulpit
Spreading her evil sway
Abbess Margaret is a serpent in the pulpit
Bow to her morbid obsession with sin!
Margaret:
«There's work to do in the churchyard
Put sister Joan to rest!
Right where the bare headstone stands
Even she died by her own hands»
Oh she was telling lies
Alice saw it in her eyes
Brazen lies behind devout disguise
Abbess Margaret is a serpent in the pulpit
Spreading her evil sway
Abbess Margaret is a serpent in the pulpit
Bow to her morbid obsession with sin!
All the sisters:
Now earth to earth in convent walls, to earth in churchyard sod
You were not good enough for men and so you’re given to God!
…and so you’re given to God"
Lies…
Brazen lies behind devout disguise
Abbess Margaret is a serpent in the pulpit
Spreading her evil sway
Abbess Margaret is a serpent in the pulpit
Bow to her morbid obsession with sin!
wow only the 8th person to comment. these guys put some serious work into there musical masterpieces. definitely getting the vinyl someday so i can listen n walk through the whole story with the illustrations in it. whats more metal than a whole album that sounds fukin great and is a story of a we call them nuns in america that just couldnt live the "christian" way of life. needless to say this is some of the top fav metal ive found yet. And i used to say very few would ever take and master and turn the kings influences. all the riffs everything blows my mind.
