D#m A childhood innocence was drowned in your tears The demons that you fought are feeding your fears The poisoned secrets of your life stand revealed The truth destroys you it's no longer concealed Chorus: G#m D# Dear Father, forsaken G#m E You knew what you were doing G#m D# In silence, your violence G#m E D#m Has left my life in ruin, yeah D#m In ruin, yeah You preyed upon my flesh then prayed for my soul Belief betrayed by lust, the faith that you stole Indoctrination by a twisted desire The catechism of an evil messiah Chorus: Dear Father, forgive me I know just what I'm doing In silence, this violence Will leave your life in ruin, yeah In ruin, yeah D#m D D#m B Preacher of theocracy Hiding your hypocrisy Under a false sanctity Holy phony empathy You have taken my life Now it's your turn to die Fm Can you sleep at night? When you close your eyes Do you think of all the pain from your lies? Or do you deny, you're responsible For the victims of the sins you devised? G What you gonna tell them, when they ask you well then? Is your conscience pure in your heart? G#m There is no exemption when you seek redemption A# For all the lives that you've torn apart! Your molestations of the cross you defiled A man once holy, now despised and reviled You took possession while confessing my sins And now you have to face whatever death brings, yeah! Chorus: Dear Father, forsaken You knew what you were doing In silence, your violence Has left my life in ruin, yeah In ruin, yeah, yeah, yeah In ruin, yeah | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA A# D D#m E Fm G G#m B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
