"Choir practice today
There's no excuse to stay away"
Alice was still in bed
A piercing pain, in her head
Her condition got worse
A fellow Sister:
"If you don't go, you'll be coerced"
So she made her way up to the choir
"Sing!"
She could hardly climb the stairs
"Sing like an angel!"
"Oh God," she cried
"There's blood on the choir stalls"
Her pregnancy exposed, blood has drenched her clothes
"Oh God, my child"
Her blood on the choir stalls
Brazen Pharisee, you broke your chastity"
A stream of blood like claret
And the child came out dead
The sisters were petrified in fear
"No!
You won't blemish and defile
These halls no more
I'll get rid of the child
You others, clean that floor!"
"Sin!
Fornication means damnation!
...Damnation!"
"Oh God," she cried
"There's blood on the choir stalls"
Her pregnancy exposed, blood has drenched her clothes
"Oh God, my child"
Her blood on the choir stalls
Brazen Pharisee, you broke your chastity"
The pain was sharp and searing
Like a hot coal, burning in her stomach
Like being eaten from inside
"Take her away
To the tower
She brought disgrace on this holy place
Isolated she shall dwell
In her tower cell
No on should ever to speak to her... again"
