Rammstien

Rammstien mocking the recent scandals that have rocked (no pun intended) the Catholic Church

Do we dare highlight the evils perpetrated by the Islamic priests? Homosexuality is rampant there too

He is religious and very sensitive
on his wall is a picture of the Lord
he wipes the spots from the Bible
he gladly distributes the Communion

He loves the boys in the choir
they keep their souls pure
but the tenor worries him
so he must be the closest to him *
on his nightstand, quiet and wordless
a picture of the Lord
he slowly turns it around

When the church clock strikes twice
hallelujah
he folds his hands for prayer
hallelujah
he has remained without a wife
hallelujah
so he must love his neighbor *
hallelujah

The young man is allowed to stay with him
the sin nests above the leg
so he gladly helps to exorcize it
to music and candlelight

When the church clock strikes twice
hallelujah
he folds his hands for prayer
hallelujah
he has remained without a wife
hallelujah
so he must love his neighbor *
hallelujah

When the church clock strikes twice
hallelujah
he takes the boy into his prayers
hallelujah
he is the true Christian
hallelujah
and knows what charity is *
hallelujah

Turn around slowly
Turn around

* There is sort of a pun used in this song. When he loves his neighbor, "seinen Nächsten lieben" it is as if he is giving to charity, which is "Nächstenliebe". When it says that he knows what charity is, it is also as if knows what loving his neighbor is. Closest to, "am nächsten", is also part of this pun because it associates being close with neighbors once again, simply because the same word is used.

Interestingly, this song is not available from itunes, Zune downloads or most of the other music (legit) download sites and you will be hard pressed to find it anywhere but on you tube.

Wikipedia mentions the album (Mutter) that this song is a part of but fails to state anything about this particular song

Censorship under pressure from the Catholic church?
