Lyrics Defiled Innocence - Nuclear Assault

Defiled Innocence

A nightmare rises from the holy places
Daring to sin against it’s ways
An evil impulse rises to the fore
And deadly silence from those above
Bow down on your knees
Who is his man before us
Predator of innocence
Wrapped in the robes of the church
Sick men destroying lives
And silence from the prelates
Shuffled from state to state
Moving abomination
Another proof your god is a dead word
When it comes to those who claim to serve
When suffering countenanced is the way
What does it mean when bishops say amen
Now the victims breaking their silence
Bishops and Cardinals are keeping theirs
Will money wash away all of the stains
That these men have brought to Church’s state
