Impure absolver
Conflicting the light
Somewhere between our alters
And stars that align
A blight and cleric alike
In ways of war and of want
A bastard son sways a mass of ill-informed
Sentenced to repeat their hymns
As if to kiss and forgive themselves
God-damned
Bastard hymn
Inadequate offers
Through smoke and mirrors
You suffer us
We're cursed to know your love
Forever singing your hymn
Lay your trophies down
Sing for every life you owe
Take my blood and ransomed soul
Rend them all to urgŠµ your will
Bastard hymn
