O’ Sister (Live) Lyrics

O' sister
What's wrong with your mind?
You used to be, so strong and stable

My sister, What made you fall from grace?
I'm sorry that I, was not there to catch you
What have the demons done?
What have the demons done with the luminous light
That once shined from your eyes?
What makes you feel so alone?
Is it the whispering ghosts, that you fear the most?

But the blackness in your heart won't last forever
I know it's tearing you apart
But it's a storm you can weather

O' sister
Those lines etched in your hands
They're hardened and rough
Like a road map of sorrow

My sister
There is a sadness on your face
You're like a motherless child
Whose longing for comfort
What's running through your veins
That's causing you such pain?
Does it have something to do
With the pills they gave to you?
What is eating at your soul?
Was it the whispering ghost
That left you out in the cold?

But the blackness in your heart won't last forever
I know it's tearing you apart
But it's a storm you can weather

O' sister
My sister
