lyrics

Sister

Sister, sister, heard the word,
And an angel pierced her with a sword.
It slides across he neck.
At once a quivering wreck.
Each time he drove it in,
The blood trickled o-er her skin.

I look up, I see Jesus, strung above me,
Begging for blasphemy, he say,
Boy it's time for you to stand, time to,
Be a man!
Put behind you all you've been taught
Against which your flesh has fought.

Sister, sister, on the ground
Rolling around, ecstatic nun.
Where is your Lord? Where is your Lord?
Where is my Lord?
And each time he drove it in,
The blood trickled o-er her skin,
Dripping softly, christening the chapel floor.

Sister, sister, heard the word,
And an angel pierced her with a sword.
It slides across he neck.
At once a quivering wreck.
Each time he drove it in,
The blood trickled o-er her skin.
Dripping softly, christening the chapel floor.
