The Sacrosanct

Cardinal sins of the divine
Cannot force the benign
Even with teardrops dry
Echoes of vain remorse
Celestine words chiseled with despair
Calamity of the soul unveiled
Plagues the sanctity of the sacrosanct
The shrine inspires no hope
The water pure no more
The pulpit shakes and cracks
The pews laden with dust
The chorus forgotten
The pipes frozen
The children defiled
The church reviled
Calamity of the soul unveiled
Celestine words chiseled with despair
Echoes of vain remorse
Even with teardrops dry
Cannot force the benign
Cardinal sins of the divine
