Hiding Behind the Collar

Father please forgive him For once again he’s sinned The words come all too easy It’s as if they’ve been penned Sing praises of Hail Mary One so full of grace It only takes a penance To free him from this place Locked inside a darkness His soul begs to be well While he is granted forgiveness Another’s soul resides in hell Having wiped his hands clean And his secret safely locked away He remains free to sin again Another victim, another day Suffer the little children Unto him they shall come But it is the demon in disguise They need protection from Hiding behind the collar Shielded by our laws Another child is molested Still religious order has no flaws…
