And they said "They shall all be fed, | |
all the weak and powerless shall be comforted..." | |
The Church's arms are open to embrace its orphans | |
but this unholy priest's an earthly sod | |
with his cock thrust casually through his vestments | |
behind the screen of the confessional. | |
Father's fumbling in the vestry, | |
lip-service to the sermon even while his fingers fiddle; | |
blind-eyed nuns ignore the soiled habits... | |
For the innocents there's no escape – | |
what hell on earth (in the name of Christ) was this they'd entered? | |
Oh, they said "They shall be fed" | |
and meant that this young flesh | |
should be devoured. | |
The lambs were to be led | |
to be fed to the wolves, | |
fed to the wolves. | |
(They should be safe in God's House. | |
Does it get any worse than this? | |
The children are in their power | |
and power is naked. | |
They should be safe in God's House | |
but here's no mercy, just abuse. | |
And the damage that is done | |
is worse than unholy.) | |
They said "They shall be fed" | |
but they're abused rather than comforted | |
by the very ones who pose as their protectors | |
and to complain would only bring a beating down upon their backs | |
for their own imagined wickedness. | |
No escape from such unholy earthly powers: | |
the lambs shall be devoured, | |
the lambs shall all be fed to the wolves. | |
They shall be fed to the wolves. | |
Pray for the prey, | |
fed to the wolves. | |
(And the damage that is done | |
is worse than unholy.) |
And they said " They shall all be fed, | |
all the weak and powerless shall be comforted..." | |
