Of The Collar

Your heart is black and the collar white
Both are symbols of your faith
You'd think you'd know what's wrong or right
Your title was all a mistake

Alone in your room, a bottle in hand
The people, we don't have a clue
It's all going just as you planned
Do as I say, not as I do

(Fr Ryan) "So why should you forgive me? 
           You know not who I am"
          "You see son, I'm a man of God,
           What can't you understand?"

Rise up Father Ryan, you're held in high regard
Can't you hear all the children crying?
You forgot you're a man of God
Stand up Father Ryan, It's time to pay for what you've done
Can't you hear Mother Mary is crying
To see what you've become

(Fr Ryan) "So son, can you forgive me?
           You know I'm just a man"
          "You see, the devil, he made me do it 
           What can't you understand?"
