This song was inspired by the story of John Geoghan, a Catholic priest in Boston who raped 150 kids over 30 years of service. After being sentenced to jail, he was murdered by an inmate who broke into his cell.
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
A devil in a midnight mass
He preyed behind stained glass
A memory of Sunday class
Resurrected from the past
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold your breath and count to four
Pinky swears don't work no more
Footsteps down the hallway floor
Getting closer to my door
I was alive but now I'm singing
[Chorus]
"Silent Night" for the rest of my life
"Silent Night" for the rest of my life
Violent knight at the edge of your knife
"Forgive me, Father" won't make it right
"Silent Night" for the rest of my life
Silent night at the edge of your knife
You're guilty
[Verse 2]
A devil in a midnight mass
Killed the boy inside the man
The holy water in his hands
Can never wash away his sins
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold your breath and count to four
Pinky swears don't work no more
Put my trust in God that day
Not the man that taught his way
I was alive but now I'm singing
[Chorus]
"Silent Night" for the rest of my life
"Silent Night" for the rest of my life
Violent knight at the edge of your knife
"Forgive me, Father" won't make it right
"Silent Night" for the rest of my life
Silent night at the edge of your knife
You're guilty
[Bridge]
Whisper, whisper, don't make a sound
Your bed is made, it's in the ground
Whisper, whisper, don't make a sound
Your bed is made, it's in the ground
[Outro]
Whisper, whisper, don't make a sound
Your bed is made, it's in the ground
Whisper, whisper, don't make a sound
Your bed is made, it's in the ground
Whisper, whisper, don't make a sound
Your bed is made, it's in the ground
Whisper, whisper, don't make a sound
Your bed is made and it's in the ground
