Dear Father - MMOBB

A childhood innocence was drowned in your tears The demons that you fought are feeding your fears The poisoned secrets of your life stand revealed The truth destroys you, its no longer concealed Dear Father, forsaken You knew what you were doing In silence, your violence Has left my life in ruin, yeah In ruin, yeah You preyed upon my flesh then prayed for my soul Belief betrayed by lust, the faith that you stole Indoctrination by a twisted desire The catechism of an evil messiah Dear Father, forgive me I know just what I'm doing In silence, this violence Will leave your life in ruin, yeah In ruin, yeah Preacher of theocracy Hiding your hypocrisy Under a false sanctity Holy phony empathy You have taken my life Now it's your turn to die Can you sleep at night? When you close your eyes Do you think of all the pain from your lies? Or do you deny you're responsible For the victims of the sins you devised? What you gonna tell them when they ask you, well then? Is your conscience pure in your heart? There is no exemption when you seek redemption For all the lives that you've torn apart Your molestations of the cross you defiled A man once holy now despised and reviled You took possession while confessing my sins And now you have to face whatever death brings, yeah Dear Father, forsaken You knew what you were doing In silence your violence Has left my life in ruin, yeah In ruin, yeah, yeah, yeah In ruin, yeah

Dear father I've got your photographs Thank God for photographs hip hip hooray Dear father I know you loved to laugh though In most of your photographs it didn't seem that way Dear father I can't let you go just yet And I still can't forget you walking around Dear father you're starring in my dreams And you're stealing all the scenes where did you go? In my wandering mind I stumble through time I sing through the air I look for you there Dear father I never got to say goodbye I was singing on the River Clyde and I didn't know Dear father I see you dancing still And I think I always will till the day I die Dear father I feel your healing hands As I fall asleep I can plain as the day Dear father you're in my reflection now As I reach out and touch you now where did you go? Dear father I am still curious why You still make me furious it was so long ago Dear father I've got your photographs Thank God for photographs hip hip hooray
