I'm tired of the Church keeping dragons as pets
I'm tired of the Church with its cavernous dungeons
She plays "Mother of Dragons", thinking dragons can be tamed
She loves being kissed by flames, but
How long until she's consumed?
I'm tired of the Church wearing dragon scales
I'm tired of the Church with its heart of stone
Such a beautiful stone, flawless and cold
Brilliant and lifeless
My soul goes hungry as they feed the dragon
This relic
Kept alive for lack of faith
I'm tired of her beast!
So I'm calling St. George
Let's put on a feast
