Confession

Lyrics

(Verse 1) When I was a boy I was raised to believe The church was where you saved your soul Mother dressed us like a picture every Sunday just to kneel in rows In rows (Verse 2) I remember thinking something's very wrong when I was ten years old We could never chew the host but we would go back to a raging home (Post-Chorus) To the ground, ground, ground, ground Down to a place where Christ won't forgive me (Chorus) Blasphemer Hypocrisy Stigmother Bleed for me For me For me Spoken Bridge: You think it's a blessing to do what god wants? I'll tell you what he wants He wants to push me over (Verse 3) You know I have to laugh at the people I know Who think they're out on the fringe They're the Catholics who fear God's hand will strike if they dare to question him (Post-Chorus) To the ground, ground, ground, ground To the ground, ground, ground, ground Down to a place where Christ won't forgive me (Chorus) Blasphemer Hypocrisy Stigmother Bleed for me Bleed For me Spoken Bridge: On the day of the lord Blood flow from wood And stones of the houses will come alive and kill those Spoken Bridge Part 2: Forgive me friend for I have sinned It's been a long time since my last confession and these are my sins Musical Bridge: I hate, I cheat, I steal, I lie I've often lost the will to try I take from women who will give I've often lost the will to live I hate your church, I hate your shrine Your rituals, your chronic lies Believer's money that you rob The way that you've betrayed my god (Guitar Solo) Spoken Bridge 2: "You're the next to be sacrificed" "No" "No you don't" "Not messiah?" "No, No I'm not" (Verse 4) Now I am a man with choices of my own but still the guilt remains Sunday you can often find me quite depressed and even more insane (Pre-Chorus) To the ground, ground, ground, ground To the ground, ground, ground, ground To the ground, ground, ground, ground Down to a place where Christ won't forgive me (Chorus) Blasphemer Hypocrisy (Yeah, Yeah) Stigmother Bleed for me Bleed for me (Outro) Bleed for me Bleed for me Bleed for me Bleed for me Spoken Outro: "You see, you don't know how much people need god"
