This song is to do with the Catholic Church and the abuse of power and hypocrisy within it: Ranging from their freedom to escape economical responsibilities to sexual abuse within the institution, all their acts are excused and overlooked in the eyes of the law.
[Verse 1]
How can you get away with a murder?
Scot-free when you're found guilty in the first degree
It's pretty simple when you're so powerful
It's who you know
Untouchable, lying through your teeth
Break the doctrine, they're all laughing
Double-parking tax-free control monopoly
So complacent, it's adjacent to the demons you summon from your faculty
[Chorus]
Supreme ascendancy, tomfoolery
You're not above the law, no matter your beliefs
Supreme ascendancy, tomfoolery
You're not above the law, no matter your beliefs
[Post-Chorus]
Supreme ascendancy
Supreme ascendancy
[Verse 2]
Satan in a cassock casting black magic
Childhoods tragically ripped from their shaking feet
Conscious yet inadequate
The bullshit catalyst
Far flung inaction by the ministry of presbytery
[Chorus]
Supreme ascendancy, tomfoolery
You're not above the law, no matter your beliefs
Supreme ascendancy, tomfoolery
You're not above the law, no matter your beliefs
Supreme ascendancy, tomfoolery
You're not above the law, no matter your beliefs
Supreme ascendancy, tomfoolery
The holy hands of God, justice impedes
[Outro]
Supreme ascendancy
Supreme ascendancy
Supreme ascendancy
Permanent purgatory
