Текст песни: Poor Sisters of Nazareth + перевод

The choking fears

The children’s tears

The sisters‘ lap

The congregation

Plain cruelty

And agony

Behind the mask

Of veneration

A mother’s love

Promised the coif

A place to live

For lonely children

But in the night

They suffer blight

The vile touch

Of the truncheon

And when the storm begins

Above the convent spire

There is no God in here

Here’s but infernal fire

The walls are closing in

On youthful lives so dire

A day at sea

Serenity

As something was lost

Among the waves

Her tiny arms

They struggled hard

Against the drift

To no avail

Come heavy rain

Wash off the pain

Wash off the stains

And memories

Dare not to sleep

Dare not to weep

Dare not to speak

Keep silence

And so they reign

By dread and pain

In lightless days

Unending

For you are dirt

You shall be hurt

Your soul is cleansed

By being broken

And to this day

The demons stay

Forevermore

Within me

There’s no relief

There’s just reprieve

The will of God

Is tribulation
