"Inside the convent..."
Madeleine is running away from herself
Afraid of the shame, she's crying out for help
To be clean again
No one cared and no one ever will
Her feelings were not shared,
She wants to break the spell
and she's going...
Into the convent, a smile on her face
Into the darkness to hide all her sins
Wondering what could go wrong in this place
[Father David:]
"Welcome Sister, I'm Your chaplain
Down on Your knees and pray if You please
In This convent I'm Your master
Kiss My cross, now dearest Sister
In the Name of ..."
Madeleine is running away from herself
As father David said:
"At communion You must be undressed"
Why did she go...
Into the convent, a smile on her face
Into the darkness to hide all her sins
Wondering what could go wrong in this place
[Father David:]
"Come along Sister Madeleine
Unfold Your wildest dreams,
it's time to join and sing
Let the feast begin."
That night she awoke to find The Eye
On the stone cold floor
Why, she never ever would know why
But she put it on
Next day father David passed away
At communion time
Why, he never ever would know why
But he looked at The Eye
The eye of the necklace is laking it's toll
Inside the convent a soul will rejoice
