Name: Unholy
Duration: P00H04M25S
Description: I hadn’t thought ahead to what the subject of the fourth song would be, but when the horrific news about Catholic priests in Pennsylvania broke, the decision wasn’t hard. Musically, “Unholy,” began with another idea I had written down: Improvise a 16 bar syncopated rhythm, transcribe it, and then record a guitar track playing that same rhythm.

lyrics

You raise yourself up high
Claiming moral authority
In the name of God
You are a disease
Scarring minds and souls
The antithesis of what you claim to be and stand for

If there is a hell, you will burn there
Face your consequence slowly
Filth and evil lie behind your stare
Godless and unholy

Years and years of heinous crimes
Concealed and buried
They knew and did nothing
How can you live with yourself?
Accomplice. Criminal.
You deserve no mercy

Burn it all to the ground
