Song Lyrics

"Distarnish Priest"

by Mortification
Album: The Best Of...Five Years

Distarnish Priest,
Distarnish Priest.

I'm clean, washed in blood,
Sanctified inside out,
Oh, I'm dead to Satan's grasp,
Justified by the cross.

Vertical convulsion, striven force,
Grasp desired service,
Hideous onslaught attacks the mind,
Vicious intent prevails.

Serve your God,
Your time will come.

Beware the trap of stardom faith,
Seek guidance for your life,
Do not adorn the priestly robes,
Covering filthy manifestation.

Distarnish Priest,
Distarnish Priest.

I'm clean, washed in blood,
Sanctified inside out,
Oh, I'm dead to Satan's grasp,
Justified by the cross.

Guard your heart, bow before God,
Sack cloth and ashes, repentance,
Radical conversion, zeal of love,
Put faith in actions.

I'm lost,
Inside your ways I've found a new escape,
This life: no fantasy,
New ways: reality.

Always growing, never fading,
Hope increasing, peace astounding,
Always knowing, never falling,
My salvation making me.

Distarnish Priest,
Distarnish Priest.

I'm clean, washed in blood,
Sanctified inside out,
Oh, I'm dead to Satan's grasp,
Justified by the cross.

Wretched man that I am,
Chronicle thought diseases,
My priestly robes must be clean,
Penitence of ministers.

Serve your God,
Your time will come.

Bow at the altar of sacrifice,
Living flesh submission,
Eucharist served to others passed,
Priest of life's maturity.

Distarnish Priest.
