You want to spend your life serving God Willing to make a sacrifice Abstinence is part of a priest's morality Forever obliged to suppress, suppress, suppress your sexuality Celibacy can be hard, we do understand So if you cannot keep your promise, then...
We will forever conceal the truth Within this holy church of abuse Silence is golden, it's our salvation A covenant of obfuscation
Turned out to be harder than expected You begin to understand why you yourself were subjected To sexual abuse as a seminarian Repeat the vicious cycle, again and again and again, you have become the same as them Baptized in sadism, oppression and sodomy Untold horror tales of the ministry
We asked for forgiveness from the holy spirit Our sins have been cleansed, no apologies given The Lord has blessed us with redemption Our missteps will never, never, never again have to be mentioned A tradition of secrecy, Vatican justice Discarding dark stories into the abyss
