[Verse 1]

Unholy pedophile, preying on the innocent

Protected by the papacy, so-called men of enlightenment

Children fingered by the hand of God, raped in the name of Christ

They took a vow of chastity yet have torn asunder so many a life

[Chorus]

Chickenhawks of the Catholic church

Out to save and destroy

They have become the priest of burden

And he's become an altered boy

[Verse 2]

Men so benevolent in a position of trust

Molesting children by the score, rendering young life straight to the dust

They're church is their Golgotha, crucified by the priest

Child becomes the victim, Holy Father becomes the beast

[Chorus]

Chickenhawks of the Catholic church

Out to save and destroy

They have become the priest of burden

And he's become an altered boy

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Multi-million dollar payouts, restitution for their crimes

This vile sickness cut so many down in their prime

All the bishops and the cardinals tried to hide it away

In the parish and cathedrals, the predators come to prey

[Chorus]

Chickenhawks of the Catholic church

Out to save and destroy

They have become the priest of burden

And he's become an altered boy

Chickenhawks of the Catholic church

Out to save and destroy

They have become the priest of burden

And he's become an altered boy
