Lyrics[]

 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 it's no longer conceals
 
 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 a false sanctity
 Holy phony 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 exception, 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 when 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
