Behind The Collar
They hide in plain sight,
Smile and wave
But then comes the night
And the smiles go away
Out comes the grin
From the devil himself
Stifled cries and prayers unheard
Until the clock strikes twelve
They wear their collars like a disguise
They're doing "gods work"
In the dark if the night
But god isn't there
This is not what he asked
Yet they hide their evil
behind this mask
Again and again
It happens again
Nobody to stop
The unending pain
A children's home not filled with love
But filled with evil hiding behind god
A lie
And the lie goes on
