Lyrics
Sanctimonious
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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!
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!
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!
