It is a story of a priest who abused a child and takes his own life, he speaks of having committed these faults “In the Name of God” and blames the child for this attraction, however, the torment gives him no rest and he takes his own life as a way of escape, however, this is not enough to erase his atrocity.
lyrics
IN THE NAME OF GOD
Blood and tears on your grave
the sky unfolds in pain
souls run screaming your name
your confused spirit is alone
Oh my lord
for charity
this was for love
the child forced me
No!
In the name of God I’ll conquer
may all your children come to me
In the Name of God
I will be your guide
his suicide was your offering?
in front of your cross you tore his soul
Blood and tears on your grave
the priest decided to flee through death
souls run screaming his name
her rotten soul is wanted
Someone waits for him
