This song speaks of the fragility that can reach any religious person who practices celibacy, this tortuous measure to suppress the desires and the unnatural punishment to which his body is subjected. The flesh is flesh and everything needs a balance, celibacy definitely does not have any attribute that allows that balance, who knows if this is part of the problem within this institution to commit so many abuses.
lyrics
CAELIBATUS
Caelibatus (bis)
Venerable Fathers of the Council
with his permission and the invocation of the Paraclete Spirit
we follow our mandates
with the holy cross as a witness
Eternal father forgive my wishes
the cross on his chest distracts my oath
the sweat on my face reveals my desires
are demons showing me the way
I want to bite
her juicy lips
is this sin?
she talks to me
her look is a snake
is she a demon?
I wish to escape
from my prison
is this sin?
I want to wallow
in their deep sins
is she my love?
she talks to me
her look is a snake
I wish to escape
from my prison
Caelibatus (bis)
