Take the Cold Lyrics

A childhood cut short
By the loss of parents
In care of her siblings
Nothing will come easy
A formidable challenge
Still waits around the bend

Adding insult to injury
The child made blind
She remained undeterred
Becoming literate
Trying to forge a path
Left the home of her father

At just the age of twelve
She finds herself
In the bed of her confessor
A man of the cloth, abusing his power

Relegated to a concubine
By a fucking monster
Wielding his "holy" power
Over a girl alone in the world

It is said
She'd bed the priest
"To take the cold out of her"

To feel so alone
To have no real choice
Preyed upon to fill that void

A man of power
Seemingly pious
Chose to be a desecrator
