Lyrics

Black Priest

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Part one:

I wear the cross, pose as your guide

In his own temple, is where I hide

I speak of hope, pervert the truth

Gain your trust, then lie to you

When you come and seek a savior

Don't be surprised by my behavior

Cause like my father, I'm the deceiver

Here to prey on all believers

Black priest in white chapel

Evil elder, sacred bethel

Black priest in white chapel

Corrupt our spirit, spoil your soul

Until I have complete control

Challenge your faith, I test your will

And when you break, the better still

When you come and seek a savior

Don't be surprised by my behavior

Cause like my father, I'm the deceiver

Here to prey on all believers

Black priest in white chapel

Evil elder, sacred bethel

Black priest in white chapel

I have my way once you are shorn

Of all defense you've now been torn

I take convenience here that you're frail

For you to see beneath the veil

When you come and seek a savior

Don't be surprised by my behavior

Cause like my father, I'm the deceiver

Here to prey on all believers

Black priest in white chapel

Evil elder, sacred bethel

Black priest in white chapel

Part two:

When you lay your head against me

For some comfort when you're faint

Won't be long as you're to soon see

You'll get no pious from this saint

Let me put my hands upon you

You'll be anointed when I'm through

Rejoice as you are of the chosen

I exalt those only that are chaste

Remove the shrouds that you have woven

Now take your innocence away

Let me put my hands upon you

You'll be anointed when I'm through

Oh my child, you are so blessed

Cherish the vestal they so pure

The young can be so weak and tepid

I'll be gentle rest assured

Let me put my hands upon you

You'll be anointed when I'm through

Part three:

I wear the cross, pose as your guide

In his own temple, is where I hide

I speak of hope, pervert the truth

Gain your trust, then lie to you

When you come and seek a savior

Don't be surprised by my behavior

Cause like my father, I'm the deceiver

Here to prey on all believers
