[Verse 1]
The night is black, seven figures walk the streets of Louviers
Picard is one, another two are priests and then the nuns going to

[Chorus]
The meetings held in secrecy, evil company
Full of secrecy, again and again

[Verse 2]
The room is dark, candies on the wall, they've been here before
The Christian cross is hanging high above the altar of God

[Guitar Solo: Pete Blakk]

[Verse 3]
Madeleine is at the gate
Hazy feeling in her brain as the strangers come into

[Chorus]
The meetings held in secrecy, evil company
Full of secrecy, again and again

[Verse 4]
The strangers brought the sweetest little child, but something's wrong
The baby cries, someone here will die and now the nuns pray
[Chorus]
The meetings held in secrecy, evil company
Full of secrecy, again and again

[Outro]
Madeleine and the other nuns
They hold the infant up to the cross
As Father Picard and the priests
Approach with hammers and nails
There's no more to tell

[Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque]
