Ghosts of the Charnel House
Our knees were cracked and broken
Genuflect in dirt
Broken glass that tears the sheets
And grinds teeth as black as night
Where the demons of the cloth
Rape our wretched flesh
The ghosts of the Charnel House
They were born to deathless guilt
The ghosts of the Charnel House
They were born to shameful night
Pale backs are ripe from the lash
Fingers are worked to the bone
Scavengers of the cross
They flicker in perdition's - perdition's light
The ghosts of the Charnel House
They were born to deathless guilt
The ghosts of the Charnel House
They were born to shameful night
The poor mouth, it speaks
Of the begging bowl politics
It's words cast long - long shadows
From the doorway of the Charnel House
The ghosts of the Charnel House
They were born to deathless guilt
The ghosts of the Charnel House
They were born to shameful night
Genuflect in dirt
Broken glass that tears the sheets
And grinds teeth as black as night
Where the demons of the cloth
Rape our wretched flesh
The ghosts of the Charnel House
They were born to deathless guilt
The ghosts of the Charnel House
They were born to shameful night
Pale backs are ripe from the lash
Fingers are worked to the bone
Scavengers of the cross
They flicker in perdition's - perdition's light
The ghosts of the Charnel House
They were born to deathless guilt
The ghosts of the Charnel House
They were born to shameful night
The poor mouth, it speaks
Of the begging bowl politics
It's words cast long - long shadows
From the doorway of the Charnel House
The ghosts of the Charnel House
They were born to deathless guilt
The ghosts of the Charnel House
They were born to shameful night
