Dear Father Lyrics - 13 - Black Sabbath

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 false sanctity, holy phoney 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
