Defiled Innocence

A nightmare rises from the holy places

Daring to sin against it's ways

An evil impulse rises to the fore

And deadly silence from those above

Bow down on your knees

Who is his man before us

Predator of innocence

Wrapped in the robes of the church

Sick men destroying lives

And silence from the prelates

Shuffled from state to state

Moving abomination

Another proof your god is a dead word

When it comes to those who claim to serve

When suffering countenanced is the way

What does it mean when bishops say amen

Now the victims breaking their silence

Bishops and Cardinals are keeping theirs

Will money wash away all of the stains

That these men have brought to Church's state
