You threw a stone down the wishing well And put your faith in a ceramic shell, As the rock disturbed the water You thanked the Lord, your Father. Your ceramic shell is full of sand, And you must obey every command. In this I mean no disrespect, But it has to be what you expect For centuries you've tortured souls Claiming it will save your own If I don't believe in him, That must be the greatest sin, Worse than denying human beings Of their own instinctive feelings Can you blame me for my hate? When you stole, murdered, lied and ***** .........."But all that you need is Faith"

Ceramic (s)Hell
You threw a stone down the wishing well And put your faith in a ceramic shell, As the rock disturbed the water You thanked the Lord, your Father. Your ceramic shell is full of sand, And you must obey every command. In this I mean no disrespect, But it has to be what you expect For centuries you've tortured souls Claiming it will save your own If I don't believe in him, That must be the greatest sin, Worse than denying human beings Of their own instinctive feelings Can you blame me for my hate? When you stole, murdered, lied and ***** .........."But all that you need is Faith"
Sure it won't be popular but this is how I feel growing up in a previously hugely catholic country, which still affects Irish people's lives today.
