Songtext von Sordid Treachery

Conceived in sin, abandoned at birth Twin daughters for a righteous priest One seeks to forgive the other condemns Her father she deems a man of sin Affirming his love, to gain her forgiveness She distrusts his every word Sanctimonious ways, strengthens her spite She believes she must sustain punishment After an evening affair she seizes his mistress Cuts her from ear to ear Phrasing verses, of a furious god As she curses her father's name A blade in hand, she thrusts at the priest He intercepts and impales her chest As he dies she speaks In the voice of her sister The priest he lends one ear But is shocked at what he hears His daughter revealed within her last breath Her sister had died at birth Deceiving her father to make him believe His daughters were both alive She was the one loved and condemned him In hope to change his ways But now a victim of his sin This sordid treachery
