Oh Father... did you speak to God?

Oh Father... did he speak to you?

In the Church of Saint Anne

Oh Father... your eyes could heal the sick

Yeah, heal the sick

Oh Father... no one could ever forget

Oh Father... the night your eyes went black

In the Church of Saint Anne

Oh Father... God left you for dead

It was a black year for the Church of Saint Anne

It was a black year when the miracles began

In the Church of Saint Anne

The sick got sicker and the well got ill

Your congregation said you lost "God's will"

You ran to the altar, said another prayer

You ran to the altar, but God was never there

So they threw you out, and stoned you down

Stoned you down to the ground

It was a black year for the Church of Saint Anne

It was a black year when the miracles began

In the Church of Saint Anne

Oh Father... betrayed by your own

Oh Father... did Satan take your soul?

They found him in the tower hanging from the bell

A twisted smile on his face as if he came straight from Hell

"If thine eyes deceive thee, pluck them out"
