There's something in the air
Another confession, another prayer
Silently tonight
Another child turns off the light
If you're listening up there
What's with all of this despair
Sunday sermon comes
He's getting used to feeling numb
Detached from the abuse
Misguided and confused
A devil's christening
Coercive conditioning
A man of god, a disease
Hope you never find peace
Disgraceful you see
Another child on their knees
As they beg and they plead
Yet still you proceed
Are you listening
As their cries and their screams
Forever fall on deaf ears
Never drying the tears
Sickening fall from grace
A religious disgrace
You'll just watch them succumb
Keep them under your thumb
Your torturous deeds
To a child on their knees
'Til kingdom come
Never find salvation
Man of god, evil stems
From what you do unto them
In the name of the lord
Rotten to the core
Nothing holy within
You took their faith, with a grin
Never thought you'd be found out
You've always hidden from this
The institution that protects you
Still claiming ignorance
When did you start to believe
That the things you do are okay
Using your privileged position
To make children obey
Where's your fear of god
No excuses for the things you've done
There'll be no forgiveness
You won't ever get to heaven
When times runs out
There's no bright lights and there's no pearly gates
For those who abused their faith
A man of god, a disease
No you'll never find peace
Disgraceful you see
Another child on their knees
As they beg and they plead
Yet still you proceed
Man of god, a disease
How can you lie with such ease
Disgraceful you see
Another child on their knees
Man of god, evil stems
From what you do unto them
In the name of the lord
Can't take it anymore
Nothing holy within
You took their faith, once again
Still they beg and they plead
And they just want to please
And they want to find peace
