The song thematizes child abuse by clerics. Corey Taylor sings from the perspective of a man who was sexually abused by a priest when he was a child and now confronts his abuser.

The song was co-written by ex-Filter guitarist and composer Geno Lenardo and vocalist Johnny Andrews.[ citation needed ]
