Death of a Nun

[Verse 1]
There seems to be a problem, the people won't behave
They seem to fear our power less than what's beyond the grave
The clergy won't preach all the doctrines we ask
We have to round them up, we can take them to task
We'll blame guerrillas for what has been done
The burnt church of Jesus, the death of a nun

[Verse 2]
The church has preached resistance for what the poor hold dear
Stronger than the army we sent to instill fear
A US torturer designed just for you
Agony guaranteed, they know what to do
CIA assassins are coming with guns
The people will mourn for their dead priests and nuns
Kill with no mercy, men and women of the cloth
Ineffective martyrs for the God they brought forth

[Verse 3]
Is their retribution only time will tell?
Agents don't believe and the people live in hell
We'll destroy their faith in their God and His Son
A plain wooden casket destined for a nun
We will not compete with religious belief
Burn the church, kill the priest, leave them in grief
Unlike their savior, they'll die with no cross
Shown their mortality, they'll know who is boss

[Verse 4]
Destroy their faith in their God and His Son
Show what we will do for our power and money
A blood-spattered habit, amen
The death of a nun
