Demon Lie Exposed

Under the shroud of blind obedience, 
  the Church forever hides

Its loyalty to the Pope and Rome,
  it chides and chides and chides 

Canon Law and its corrupted faith 
  walk proudly side by side….

          “Where a child of eight 
           in parochial school 
           was brainwashed deep inside”

But guilt then crumbled, damnation cursed
  by heavens light deposed

The truth and God now one again 
   —the demon lie exposed
