Sister

Those spirits in the wood

I can't count them all

Run me down the briar

Chase me till I fall

The dead white witch's gaze

Mirror's mine at night

Dares my soul to sleep

Wants my soul to keep

Sister

Sister of mine

Set the sky on fire

The savage kingdom is blind

Those spirits in the wood

I can't name them all

Place me in a hood

Walk me to the wall

All these lonely things

I have held so near

You glean just the same

Yet they're never here

Sister

Sister of mine

Set the sky on fire

The savage kingdom is blind

The morphine drugged the man who marooned

The captain steered the ship to ruin

The crow released the Crimson balloon

The morphine drugged the man who marooned
