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
