lyrics

If Agnes returned how do you think she’d feel
About her venerated innocence when that’s what got her killed?
And being made a Catholic Saint for purity and youth
in a desperate smokescreen used to bury such ugly truths

She was murdered by men for whom she wouldn’t submit
and martyred by the church in the name of virtue
despite the fact that it...
covers up child abuse and takes away victims voices
forbids abortion and bans women’s contraceptive choices

And the lamb she gently holds
is nothing more than a Sunday meal
Another Symbol of innocence
turned twisted and venal

And it’s all done through pacifying lies
with cognitive dissonance supplied
So you never have to see the pain in your victim’s eyes
Your victims eyes

When I was young my Grandfather took me to a slaughterhouse
I tried to comprehend such awful sights and sounds
My parents owned a butchers shop and made me work in too
I don’t think they understood what it put me through
But fuck it, now I walk around with my eyes open
To the suffering and exploitation that we all play a part in
Either through passiveness or active involvement

And Agnes’ Sainthood was just to mask the horror
Just like stroking baby lambs and killing them at Easter
But if there’s one thing I’ve learnt from all of this
She was just a young girl who wouldn’t put up with your shit
‘Cos when someone says no they fucking well mean it
