Defiled Innocence Lyrics - Nuclear Assault

A nightmare rises from the holy places 

Daring to sin against it's ways 

An evil impulse rises to the fore 

And deadly silence from those above 

Bow down on your knees 

Who is his man before us 

Predator of innocence 

Wrapped in the robes of the church 

Sick men destroying lives 

And silence from the prelates 

Shuffled from state to state 

Moving abomination 

Another proof your god is a dead word 

When it comes to those who claim to serve 

When suffering countenanced is the way 

What does it mean when bishops say amen 

Now the victims breaking their silence 

Bishops and Cardinals are keeping theirs 

Will money wash away all of the stains 

That these men have brought to Church's state
