Sanctimonious - Attic

Sunset, darkness had fallen on the hill

A storm was raging on outside the abbey

In supplication sister Joan was kneeling at the convent gate

Begging for admission once again

Joan:

«Purify me, forgive me my sins mother

Purify me, remove the demon within»

The gate swung open and Joan was taken by the hand

The old draconic abbess grasped her with an icy grip

Margaret:

«I'll punish defection, won’t tolerate your sins

I’ll bring salvation,» mother Margaret said

Joan:

«Purify me, forgive me my sins mother

Purify me, remove the demon within»

Margaret:

«Your sins can be forgiven

Just die by my hand

De profundis clamavi ad te domine

They all plead for their lives and repent

Oh father rest her soul in the end

You deceived the Lord, acted the innocent

You sanctimonious whore»

Margaret:

«Hell awaits all infidels

Hell awaits all apostates

The day you left my convent, you were dead to me girl

Now you return to die again»

Margaret tore off her sister’s veil and

Dragged her about by the hair

To the cloister courtyard

A dagger in her hand

Margaret:

«Your sins can be forgiven

Just die by my hand

De profundis clamavi ad te domine

They all plead for their lives and repent

Oh father rest her soul in the end

You deceived the Lord, acted the innocent

You sanctimonious whore»
