Twitch of the d**h Nerve - Made Loose, the Bonds of Piety lyrics

Empire of deception, majestic subterfuge Grandly reveling in their self appointed authority Arrogant dogmatists pronouncing holy edicts, incongruous with innate human mortality Cynical and hateful in nature, insidious prevarications to manipulate Credulous ignorant disciples, hungry to abdicate responsibility for themselves How fragile this artifice, this mask of virtue and purity Men of god pa**ing judgement, along with false vows of abstinence To shield libidinous and perverse appetites Forbidden urges repressed, mutating into depravity, intensified in extreme Decades of abuse in child labour camps Preying on the weak, vulnerable naive wards Dehumanized and stripped naked, raped, tied prostate to the cross Onlookers are forced to participate Subsequently they are whipped and beaten into forced silence Punished, as the blame for their violation is disavowed, one of many such base hypocrisies The crimes hidden at all cost, with abject cynicism In some cases resorting to cold blooded homicide Sexual history disguised by surgical hymenoplasty Pregnant victims murdered in a callous compounding of sins Impudent imperious hypocrites protected by the authorities, masters of propaganda Impenitent serial predators transgress with impunity Accusations result in a move to fresh hunting grounds The church looks on, wearing its infallibility like those new imperial clothes, pharisaic to the end Guilty of ma** systematic abuse, inured by the incessant tide of corruption
