Touched By An Angel

The church is all powerful, they influence the entire world
 Amass great wealth, the pope is like the president
 The bible is a book of rules, explaining how to live
 The trails of those before, beliefs for you explore
 Priests read scripts of faith, take a vow of celibacy
 To be pure and of god, not to bring pain on man
 For centuries imposing their will, molesting the youth of the world
 Exempt from the law, papal supreme, scarring their minds
 Cure you of sin, destroy you from within, tormenting thy dreams
 Touched by an angel, blessed by the hand of god
 Victims of clerical abuse, live in fear
 They cant escape
 The rage inside, it just burns in their minds
 Pontiffs disregard the allegations, settlements are paid
 He's sent to a new congregation, to spread his morbid plague
 The cycle is repeated silence is their way, of dealing with it
 Another kid gets touched, pedophile is made
 For centuries imposing their will, molesting the youth of the world
 Exempt from the law, papal supreme, scarring their minds
 Cure you of sin, destroy you from within, tormenting thy dreams
 Touched by an angel, blessed by the hand of god
 A priest should be allowed to marry a bride
 Procreate with her, and to bare the gift of life
 Instead they swore the oath, to recite holy words
 For his mass, not to cast shame upon his loyal flock
 Someday this will be the downfall of the church
 When faith has died, who will you preach to now?
