Thieves of the Cloth
Unveiling the Hypocrisy: Thieves of the Cloth Revealed
Lyrics
Stand before
Standing in front of
Your congregation
Your gathered religious community
Forsaken your god
Abandoned or rejected your deity
Again and again
Repeatedly
Wear the cloth
Wearing religious attire
To cover your guilt
To hide your feelings of wrongdoing
The sins you possess
The transgressions you carry
The ones you repressed
Those you suppressed or kept hidden
Path of priesthood
The journey of religious leadership
Perversion and greed
Distorted moral values and excessive desire for wealth
Pardoned transgressors
Granting forgiveness to wrongdoers
A den of thieves
A group of deceitful individuals
A god
A deity
Of your make believe
Imagined or fabricated by you
How weak of the mind
How feeble the intellect
To follow such lies
To believe in such falsehoods
A god
A deity
Of your make believe
Imagined or fabricated by you
Naïve are these sheep
These followers are innocent but gullible
Slaves to a lie
Enslaved by a falsehood
Forgive me father
Seeking forgiveness from a father figure
Continue in sin
Continuing to commit sins
Clear conscience of mind
A clear and guilt-free mind
All is forgiven
All offenses are pardoned
