歌詞

Bless me father For you've sinned against me It's been one week since you've raped me Holy Father, your spirit inside me Holy Father, robbed my virtue Holy Mary, mother of Christ The fruit of thy womb has poisoned me Father, you're not a father Rapist, selfish taker of youth The fires you cast out I promise you for eternity Our father who aren't in heaven Inside of me, my soul is lost My manhood, so miniscule, was stolen The Rosary has gripped tight around my neck I hailed Mary...Over and over again You've failed Mary You've raped Mary...Over and over again You've walked beside me, but I was alone You've walked on top of me, crushing me My innocence and my emotions Were wiped away and you didn't care You just hid behind your collar The hardest time, I was helpless And it was too late, much too late Touch me I'm warm, but not alive Feel my hot breath, but I'm not living Dead inside, Alone forever Father why...Father why Father, you're not a father Rapist, selfish taker of youth The fires you cast out I promise you for eternity
