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
