Sister

Sister I asked for the world to stop,
life but the living has blown it up
I give my prayer to you
I cast my face in the deepest mud,
I killed our mother with the coldest blood
But still I pray to you

Dear sister, sister,
free me from our sins
Touch these blisters,
heal them with thy kiss

I tried to steal what was dear to me,
Only to find it was dearer where,
it once had had it's place
Power and wealth was a pale disguise,
and what it betrayed has long sins demised
I wrecked the highest praise

Dear sister, sister,
free me from our sins
Touch these blisters,
heal them with thy kiss

Sister, sister,
free me from our sins
Touch these blisters,
heal them with thy kiss

Sister, sister

Sister, sister

Motherly love is worthless, dead and gone
Retrenched from the heart it was given from
I shot myself
I shot myself
With her

And sister, sister
heal me with thy kiss
