Well hello! It's nice being back here!" "...where it all began!" [Verse 1] Thunder cracked the sky like a judgment call, Through storm and shadow, I scratched at the wall. A small shape at the gate, fur soaked and cold, With a babe in my arms, fragile to hold. The gates swung wide, and the sisters drew near, Two lost souls cradled from sorrow and fear. They took us inside, gave names and gave love— Prudence and Scuzzy, both blessings from above. [Chorus] They are the Sisters of the Twelvefold Oath, Twelve hold the vow and the trials endured. The world sent them beasts, but they gave us their bread— Now the beasts stand watch, by oath reassured. [Verse 2] Well I was quiet, with posture exact, Hands always folded, my tunic intact. I answered each bell with a baow and a nod, A child of the order, devoted to God. Scuzzy, a wild thing, a flame in the night, Kicking over candles, chasing moonlight. She laughed with the friars, she broke every rule, A spirit untamed, no convent could school. [Bridge] Agnes, she trained me to fight with the blade, I knelt beside her and together we prayed. Scuzzy departed with hips in command Of a friar half-dressed with chalice in hand. [Chorus] They are the Sisters of the Twelvefold Oath, Their vigil is long, and their chapel is stone. Two came in blood, and they made us their daughters— Now I walk alone, and Scuzzy walks unknown. [Verse 3] I, Prudence, the blonde flame, in black leather robed, Wield holy Excalibur where the faith has erode. It cleaves through the darkness, the blighted and lost, A sword sworn to justice, no matter the cost. And Scuzzy, our Scuzzy, with fire in her eyes, A sinner, a saint, in a devilish guise. Yet walks a path sung by angels unseen, Her heart held in light, though she’s wild and obscene. [Chorus] We are the Sisters of the Twelvefold Oath, Bound to the flame and the watch that we chose. They took in the strays when the world would not hold us— And taught us to fight in the Name of the Rose. [Outro] Fidelis sorores, Hyenae sacrae, Per noctem et diem, Lucent et pugnant. Prudentia gladii, Scuzzia spiritus, Duae filiae Dei, Lux in tenebris "Here she is! My sister!"
