CHRISTIAN PIETY

As the lords medieval knew,
few crimes in Christendom
you can't pay for with
a new monastery.

If you burned a church,
plundered an abbey?
Don't you worry, sire -
just found a monastery!

If you kidnapped an heiress
from a nunnery for a wife?
Don't you worry, sire -
just found a monastery!

If you had to slain your cousin
dear to be a count or a duke?
Don't you worry, sire -
just found a monastery!

As the lords medieval knew,
few crimes in Christendom
you can't pay for with
a new monastery.
