To the water Father Finlee walks Hardly bothered by the ten-pound lock ‘Round his ankles, every step he takes Heaven’s angels tremble in his wake Never seen a wall so high, Watch dogs around the clock Guards at every corner (And they don’t bother calling the coroner) Once a man gets locked inside He’s here ‘till the reaper knocks Or so they thought, till they saw one night That man escape, and to this day Every inmate knows his name To the water Father Finlee walks Hardly bothered by the ten-pound lock ‘Round his ankles, every step he takes Heaven’s angels tremble in his wake Legend has it he was raised in an attic Mom and dad could barely afford the same pattern Of asylum after asylum, praying to Poseidon To keep the darkness outside of him; CLASSIC They say he never muttered a word Until the crucifix around the neck of a corrections officer Caught his eye, he said “My oh my, I think I just found my ticket out of Hell on earth.” To the water Father Finlee walks Hardly bothered by the ten-pound lock ‘Round his ankles, every step he takes Heaven’s angels tremble in his wake It only takes a week or two To break a god-fearing man Ease him in with the smalltalk (And then plant ideas ‘till his ears fall off) Finlee played that guard like a fiddle Turned his own fears into a honing missile “Father can you save my soul…” “Well first you gotta bring me a little C4” Bang flash - take an educated guess How the blast didn’t singe a single hair on his chest He just stands in the rubble, beneath the floodlights When despite the chains on his feet and weak muscles He walked off, spawned a generation of knock-off Fanatics who got caught claiming they was raised in the attic To follow in the steps of a priest Who traded his fate for the depths of the sea Feet hurt, hands are dirty Warden said supper ends ‘round 5:30 But I don’t think we need to Save him a seat tonight To the water Father Finlee walks Hardly bothered by the ten-pound lock ‘Round his ankles, every step he takes Heaven’s angels tremble in his wake
