Siege of the Abbey (LIVE in Bumblef-)

"Okay, this is a heavy one." "I'll be playin' the part of Agnes..." "So I'll try an' keep the cussin' to a fuckin' minimum!" [Intro] Fuckin' walk the halls, each step a careful sound, While dreams of my sisters stir the quiet ground. Fuckin' hundred voices rise from hill and glade, Their cries slice through the forest like a blade. Fuckin' siege is upon the abbey — fear strikes like steel, My blood races, now we must fight, not fuckin' kneel. [Verse 1] Fuckin' Lepers at the gate, iron maces pounding, I rouse my sisters, call to arms sounding. "Defend the abbey! Hold these fuckin' sacred halls!" The Twelvefold Sisterhood ain't gonna fuckin' fall! The Monks burst in, choking us with fury and stench We brace, we fight, fuckin' improvised weapons, entrenched. [Chorus] Aaaaaahhhh! Sisters keep our vows, A holy charge to us endowed. Aaaaaahhhh aaaaahhhh! Through pain and loss, We stand together no matter the cost! [Verse 2] I see them moving toward the East Wing door, Bilious, our charge, fuckin' reason for this war? Fuckin' rush to protect him, through smoke and flame, Out from the vestibule, six lepers slain. Through shadowed halls, I charge forward fast, I'm gonna fuckin' reach him, whatever may pass. [Verse 3] Fuckin' Monks surround me, I crack them with my staff. Strength is their numbers, but I cut them in half. But... a blade pierces my back, sudden and fuckin' sharp, I twist—and see Bilious, grinning in the dark. Flames curl the walls, the floor groaning beneath, I drop to the ground, betrayed, fuckin' reeling in grief. [Chorus] Aaaaaahhhh! Sisters keep our vows, A holy charge to us endowed. Aaaaaahhhh aaaaahhhh! Through pain and loss, We stand together no matter the cost! [Bridge] Through smoke, a glimmer, fuckin' shining ladle bright, Toby Bones appears, cutting through the blight. Fuckin' spark of hope flares, brief and true, A fragile chance in the darkness and doom. [Verse 4] But Toby is just a child, the leper fucks carry him away, The abbey burns around me, but the shit's all turning gray. Despair closes in as my strength departs, My sisters and daughters weigh heavy on my heart. "Scuzzy, Prudence," your names my last breath. I fade away, surrendering to death. [Chorus] Aaaaaahhhh! Sisters, keep the vows, A holy charge to you endowed. Aaaaaahhhh aaaaahhhh! Through pain and loss, You must stand together no matter the cost! "Now they've fuckin' done it, goddamn killed our momma!" Rrrraaaaaghhh!!
