attic - on choir stalls lyrics
margaret:
“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
margaret:
“sing!”
she could hardly climb the stairs
margaret:
“sing like an angel!”
alice:
“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
margaret:
brazen pharisee, you broke your chast-ty”
a stream of blood like claret
and the child came out dead
the sisters were petrified in fear
margaret:
“no!
you won’t blemish and defile
these halls no more
i’ll get rid of the child
you others, clean that floor!”
margaret:
“sin!
fornication means d-mnation!
…d-mnation!”
alice:
“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
margaret:
brazen pharisee, you broke your chast-ty”
the pain was sharp and searing
like a hot coal, burning in her stomach
like being eaten from inside
margaret:
“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”
