corruption in the chapel



father, priest, preacher,
preach of christ the redeemer
god's one and only son,
the world's greatest teacher
conceal your sins,
feel a little cleaner
hide your pain,
numb it like ether
holy man,
don't tell the people
hypocrite,
don't tell the people
holier than thou,
filthy dirty creature
