Cephalic Carnage - Touched by an Angel lyrics

The Church is all powerful
They influence the entire world
Amass great wealth
The Pope is like a president
The Bible is a book of
Rules explaining how to live
The trials of those before
Beliefs for you to explore
Priests read scripts of faith
Take a vow of celibacy
To be pure and of God
Not to bring pain on man

For centuries imposing their will
Molesting the youth of the world
Exempt from the law, papal supreme
Scarring their minds
Cure you of sin, destroy from within
Tormenting thy dreams touched by an angel
Blessed by the hand of God

Victims of clerical abuse, live in fear
They can't escape the rage inside
It just burns in their minds
Pontiffs disregard the allegations
Settlements are paid
He's sent to a new congregation
To spread his plague the cycle is repeated
Silence is their way of dealing with it
Another kid gets touched, a pedophile is made

For centuries imposing their will
Molesting the youth of the world
Exempt from the law, papal supreme
Scarring their minds
Cure you of sin, destroy from within
Tormenting thy dreams touched by an angel
Blessed by the hand of God

A priest should be allowed to marry a bride
Procreate with her
And to bare the gift of life
Instead they swore the oath
To recite holy words for his mass
Not to cast shame upon his loyal flock
Someday this will be the
Downfall of the Church when faith has died
Who will you preach to now?
