Sweet Sister Temperance

Rasputina

Sweet Sister Temperance
She of the model-hearted innocence
So eloquent and immune to despair
Her tears smooth bands of reddish hair

Why subtle for a
She fainted while baking in the kitchen
Overturning all her merry schemes
For great and small and all things in between

For future and happiness
In a blue field violence
For her glory and her power
She found in her final hour
Great and small and all in between

Sweet Sister Temperance
She of the model-hearted innocence
So eloquent and immune to despair
Her tears smooth bands of reddish hair

One can see the consequence
Of her endless virtue is penitence
In a scarlet letter all her tailored deed
Her tears smooth bands of reddish hair

All defeated I should cry the memory
All defeated I should cry the memory

We had just laid out the garden
Handsome more so now than ever
And exquisite cleanness showing
In diamond square

She kept us enraptured
Gently captured by her tender emotion
Wildflowers growing, we strode a moonlit path
In silent pairs

Sweet Sister Temperance
She of the model-hearted innocence
So eloquent and immune to despair
Her tears smooth bands of reddish hair

One can see the consequence
Of her endless virtue is penitence
In a scarlet letter all her tailored deed
Her tears smooth bands of reddish hair

In a scarlet letter all her tailored deed
Her tears smooth bands of reddish hair

Oh this soon
Oh this soon
Oh this soon
Oh this soon
Oh this soon
Oh this soon
