Father Chester Lyrics
People say that little girls lie
Only God knows why
The worst deed is over & done
Right before their eyes
Now you’re living in hell
It’s always on your mind
There’s no one you can tell
Pretend everything’s fine
Oh no
Daddy’s living a sheltered life
Religion’s such a cross to bear
Mask his sins under holy gown
Stalk his prey from the marble chair
Beg forgiveness for the things you’ve done?
Why the hell should we care
Now you’re living in hell
It’s always on your mind
There’s no one you can tell
When it’s payback time
Jack the Ripper – He used a knife
Jeffrey Dahmer – Ate them alive
Doctor Lector – Had a criminal mind
Father Chester – Worst of all crimes
What makes a man do the things he’s done?
Listen when the church bells ring to hear the children’s cries
Well I hear the cries
Lead
Jack the Ripper – He used a knife
Jeffrey Dahmer – Ate them alive
Doctor Lector – Had a criminal mind
Father Chester – Hear them
Father Chester – Screaming
Father Chester – Hurt them
Father Chester – You’re the worst crime
Only God knows why
The worst deed is over & done
Right before their eyes
It’s always on your mind
There’s no one you can tell
Pretend everything’s fine
Oh no
Religion’s such a cross to bear
Mask his sins under holy gown
Stalk his prey from the marble chair
Beg forgiveness for the things you’ve done?
Why the hell should we care
It’s always on your mind
There’s no one you can tell
When it’s payback time
Jeffrey Dahmer – Ate them alive
Doctor Lector – Had a criminal mind
Father Chester – Worst of all crimes
Listen when the church bells ring to hear the children’s cries
Well I hear the cries
Jeffrey Dahmer – Ate them alive
Doctor Lector – Had a criminal mind
Father Chester – Hear them
Father Chester – Screaming
Father Chester – Hurt them
Father Chester – You’re the worst crime

Not exactly subtle in nature, the song is about a priest molesting children. The original lyrics written by guitarist 'The Skank' were about his brother in law who had been accused of molesting his own daughter, however tests proved in conclusive. Singer D2e refined the lyrics with the church angle, religious references & adding organ in the recording studio for a much more "Eeerie vibe".
