This song is about people who use religion for sexual abuse. More specifically the song centers around the case of Father Lawrence Murphy who abused over 200 children and was HIDDEN by the church, and his peers.
lyrics
Step into the blackest of minds
The perversion of grace
So their talons can cut inside
They come a little closer with the trust that makes them clean
But our absence of morality will destroy every dream
There is an exit
but a true escape you will never find
Because inside your mind there is realities to bleak to rewind .
The marks and the gashes will fade
But the true wounds glow bright red every time someone offers to pray.
The wolf has never had to work so much less
As if the lambs lay down in front of him and open their necks
And with a single bite
Their destroyed adolescence becomes his meal for tonight
Welcome to the darkest of souls
Where the ashes gather from the hearts fires now cold.
There is now darkness greater than someone masks it with light
Supplementing sasscore insanity with bolstered vocals and pop-punk songcraft, the California band are kicking ass and breaking boundaries. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 21, 2024
