Lyrics

Chorus
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

[Verse one]

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

Bridge

Serve your god
Your time will come

[Verse two]

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

[Interlude]

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

Chorus

[Verse four]

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

Bridge

[Verse five]

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