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 masked as divine
