King Diamond

Altered Boy

King Diamond


Unholy pedophile 
Preying on the innocent 
Protected by the papacy 
So called men of enlightenment 
Children fingered by the hand of God 
Raped in the name of Christ 
They took a vow of chastity 
Yet have torn asunder so many a life 

Chorus: 
Chickenhawks of the Catholic Church 
Out to save and destroy 
They have become the preist of burden 
And he's become an altered boy 

Men so benevolent 
In a position of trust 
Molesting children by the score 
Rendering young life straight into the dust 
They're curch is their Golgotha 
Their crucified by the priest 
Child becomes the victim 
Holy Father becomes the beast 

Repeat chorus 

Multi-million dollar payouts 
Restitution for their crimes 
This vile sickness 
Cut so many down in their prime 
All the bishops and the cardinals 
Tried to hide it away 
In the parish and cathedrals 
The predators come to prey 

Repeat chorus
