Elizabeth
When Plagues Collide Lyrics

Eager eyes stripping the portrait of innocence and of purity
A description of the predator's gaze as they take away the victim's innocence and purity

His unhallowed sanctity sinful and immoral and according to the holy insincerity
The predatory behavior is immoral and insincere, despite being cloaked in a holy facade

For thy shall abuse power and abuse our children and the non-existence of Godlike surveillance
The predator takes advantage of their power and preys on children, knowing they won't be caught by a divine power

The true translation of divine
Questioning what the true divine translation is if these heinous acts exist under the guise of religious authority

Veiled annotations of the holy book
The holy book has hidden, possibly damning, annotations

Concealed under 'faith' and covered by clerical deception
The misconduct is hidden under the guise of faith and is covered up by those in authority

Sacred falsification
Clergy members falsify their behavior and acts under the guise of religious authority

Hallowed verses rewritten by diabolical hands
Even the hallowed and sacred verses are rewritten with a malevolent intent

Bearer of the hollow pledge
Those in religious authority hold a pledge which is meaningless as they go against it with their actions

Barbaric prophecies demand obedience and the silence of her contaminated lips
Religious prophecies demand obedience and silence from victims to maintain their power and hide their misconduct

As his flesh enters hers
The act of rape is described in graphic detail

Her hymen ripped while her heart is raped
A vivid description of the physical and emotional trauma experienced by the victim

Calamitous abomination
The act of rape is an abomination and has consequences beyond the immediate physical trauma

Afraid of his burning eyes she turns silent
The victim is afraid and silenced by the predator's gaze

Psychological suicide
The victim's spirit is broken and their sense of self-worth is destroyed

Self-hatred becomes key
The victim internalizes the trauma and self-hatred becomes a key part of their existence

This infant body bereaved of its purity
The victim, who is possibly an infant, has been robbed of their purity

Claimed by the rapacious palm of lust and of time
The predator and the passage of time have laid claim to the victim

Sentenced to purgatory to wander in the stillness of her young and broken mind
The victim is sentenced to a mental purgatory where their broken mind is trapped in stillness

Deprivation of life through the hands of His Unholy Excellency
The predator takes away the victim's life and the lack of divine intervention implies that they have been abandoned by God

For thy shall abuse ignorance and abuse their children
The predator knowingly takes advantage of the community's ignorance and specifically targets children

And then plea silence and threaten with the flames and eternal torture
After committing their heinous acts, the predator threatens their victim with eternal damnation

Her contaminated lips will stain the faith of a thousand disciples
The victim's trauma will affect many and has the potential to harm the faith of many more

Protect the throne
The religious authority's power and reputation must be protected at all costs

She shall die as martyr
The victim, despite being taken advantage of by those in authority, will die and be portrayed as a martyr to the faith

Nails penetrated wrists as if it were her cunt
The victim is described as being crucified in a graphic and sexualized manner

The cross inverted
Even the symbol of salvation and hope is corrupted and inverted by the actions of those in religious authority

And the hands of a thousand children now bound by this pestilential sanctity
The victims of sexual abuse, and possibly their future actions, are held captive by the predatory behavior of those in religious authority

Punished is the innocence of our kind
The innocence of all humanity is punished by the immoral and corrupt actions of those in religious authority

To sew mouths shut and conserve the credibility of the burning Book of God
Victims are silenced to maintain the credibility of religious authority and its texts

Malignant whispers selling death
Those involved in predatory behavior spread whispers and lies that lead to the destruction of innocent lives

As the claiming of the virginity of the smallest of infants collects their lives
The taking of the virginity of even the youngest of victims leads to the destruction of their lives

Revered paedophiles infecting our existence
Religious authority figures who commit sexual abuse are held in high esteem and their actions are infecting our society

And getting nothing but the blessing of their father
Despite the heinousness of their actions, those in religious authority still receive the approval and blessing of God
