Lyrics

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

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"
