lyrics

Victims
V1
There’s an elephant in the room, need to be addressed.
Paedophiles and rapists hidden among the blessed, Call it what you want blasphemy or worse, surely it’s the victims we should be putting first.
V2
Who will be the voice for the ghost of the child? Who’s suffered the abuse in silence and denial. What about those infants buried under lies? Innocent and helpless wasted little lives.
Chorus
But that’s ok, the saviours on his way, to shine a light on our darkest days, preaching forgiveness unity and love, a frail attempt to patch things up.






V3
An ancient land built on blood and tears, rising from the ashes of dark oppressive years.
Hijacked by religion, borrowed sold and bought, beaten to submission by the so called men of cloth.
Chorus

Bridge
We don’t need salvation we can find it on our own.
No more the fallen nation that you bullied and controlled.
We are not the subjects praying to be saved,
unlike those generations that you brutalised and shamed.

Chorus
