| 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..." | |
| 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, | |
| lipservice to the sermon even while his fingers fiddle | |
| blindeyed 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" | |
