homily from millennium by precious little life

forgive me father, for i have sinned
put my trust in you and let you in
i knew all my warchants, i worshipped your son
but above all else, my family become one

after going to classes learning about your religion
i slowly felt hollow, determination fleeing
like there was something nailing me down to your
liturgical cross day in and day out

i felt like you won and i lost,
i was under your control
i wasn't aware anymore
your mind manipulation tactics froze me in place
as i ate your body and drank your blood

contracting all of your diseases from generations past
your bleach covered pews giving me suicidal thoughts
as i listen to the voice you tried to tell me
was the devil and my conscience rolling into one
