Touched By An Angel

Cephalic Carnage

The church is all powerful, they influence the entire world 
Amass great wealth, the pope is like the president 
The bible is a book of rules, explaining how to live 
The trails of those before, beliefs for you 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 you 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 morbid plague 
The cycle is repeated silence is their way, of dealing with it 
Another kid gets touched, 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 you 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?
