The Priest Lyrics - Milow

I'm Peter van der Hold 

I'm 68 years old 

I doubt some questions have increased 

In 42 years of being a priest 

I'm at the end of my life 

I'm not sure if I'm gonna survive 

I often don't know what to say 

When I talk to Him, when I pray 

In reply I receive 

Only silence, no relief 

I've waited in vain for a little advice 

from that great voice in the ethereal skies

Once I was revolutionary 

A devoted mercenary 

A gifted student in God's hands 

Now I'm old and sick of his demands 

I tried to be honest and good 

Did my job the best I could 

But I always stayed that average man 

Right in the spot where I'll began 

During the grief with which I've dealt 

Spent three decades since I've felt 

The certainty I so have thought 'bout the existence of the Lord 

I've seen enough, that's why I know 

God left this place, long long time ago 

Photos 

I'll give him to my perish 

Things I don't have myself but cherish 

And namely love and charity 

Mostly purpose that's what sets you free 

So I'm where the metaphore 

I'm not comforting anymore 

I think I'm almost done with my search 

Got old so fast even in my church 

But feels as if I'm kept out 

Some sort of secret about 

The meaning of life sometimes 

Can't fail to notice these are mediocre types 

I've seen enough, that's why I know 

God left this place, long long time ago 

I've seen enough, that's why I know 

God left this place, long long time ago 

And time has made me good at one thing 

And horrible at everything else 

The blessings of a world divine 

Were always elsewhere and never mine 

Oh, I would like to hold someone 

Briefly maybe have some fun 

My body's hardly designed 

So I'm not really the hugging kind 

Not once has it been 

Someone with a softer skin 

Who reached out for me in the middle of the night 

'Cause my own lumpy mattress would've turn on the light 

I think I've been miscast 

And the time of saints is passed 

My faith is reclassed but not least 

After 42 years of being a priest 

The church is like a woman 

Thing out of reach like a vision 

She glimmers in the distance which I could never quite get 

Now I've left you with my regret 

I've seen enough, that's why I know 

God left this place, long long time ago 

I've seen enough, that's why I know 

God left this place, long long time ago 

I've seen enough, that's why I know 

God left this place, long long time ago 

I've seen enough, that's why I know 

God left this place, long long time ago 

It's my portion, it's my call... 

It's my portion, it's my call...
