Lyrics Deprave to Redeem - Hour of Penance

Deprave to Redeem

Indulging in the pleasures of the flesh
The slavery of lust condemned men to feed the swarm of Christ
Fornication denied — no reason, no god
«The spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak» (Mark 14: 38)
Nailed upon the cross
What really lies beneath the shameful vest of the priest?
What really lies beneath the sacred walls of god?
Impotent victims pay the price of your sins
Violated souls that god will never redeem
False light of faith that blinds humanity’s sight
While you ask salvation by the dirty hands of your false god
Blessed criminal speak the words of god!
Where does the divine justice of god lies
If there’s no god here to rule this corrupted world?
Swallowed into the pit
Swallowed into the pit
Betrayed — Aroused — Mistreat — Abused
Deceived — Seduced — Deprived
The purity of your innocence is gone
Castrated — Defiled — Destroyed — Tortured
Bleed out to death — Now pray
The choosing of your punishment is done
Indulging in the pleasures of the flesh
The slavery of lust condemned men to feed the swarm of Christ
Fornication denied — no reason, no god
«The spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak» (Mark 14: 38)
Nailed upon the cross
The sacred walls of god
Impotent victims pay the price of your sins
Violated souls that god will never redeem
False light of faith that blinds humanity sight
While you ask salvation by the dirty hands of your false god
Q: So the abuse and the molestation was almost a full time avocation during
your entire priesthood?
O’GRADY: I would say it was a significant part of the early priesthood
Q: What else happened to you as a consequence of abusing?
O’GRADY: Actually nothing happened.
Life continued
