IL FIGLIO DEL PRETE Lyrics
[Strofa 1]
Il figlio del prete nasconde la storia che tutti sapete
Ha rapito minori venduti alla fede
Si muove nel buio, nessuno lo vede
Il figlio del prete ha sete di sangue, di pura vendetta
Nessuno lo ama, nessuno lo aspetta
Ha fretta di chiudere il colpo alla svelta
Il figlio del prete non crede alla Chiesa, ma sta in una setta
La sua religione si chiama Beretta e nessuno bestemmia
Il figlio del prete, il figlio di un mostro
Santificato come il Padre Nostro
Il male più forte quando è corrisposto
[Ritornello]
È il figlio del prete
Il figlio del prete
Il figlio del prete
Il figlio del prete
Il figlio del –
Il figlio del –
[Strofa 2]
Il figlio del prete è un tipo che non scherza
Non togliere una vita sembra un’occasione persa
Rapire un’altra vittima è legittima difesa
Contro lo Stato, il Vaticano e la Chiesa
C’ha la terza media e laureato in strada
Il panico negli occhi, il freddo di una lama
Che taglierà la lingua a un altro figlio di putta–
Il figlio del prete non si infama
Sporchi come i soldi del banchiere di Dio
Questo sangue nel bicchiere mezzo pieno non è mio
E allora chi sarà stato? Non l’hanno mai beccato
Il figlio del prete, nato dal peccato
Colpi di martello sopra le campane
Corpi sulle strade piangono un diluvio universale
Dormi questa notte presa male
Perché sta per arrivare nei tuoi sogni, amen
[Ritornello]
Il figlio del prete
Il figlio del prete
Il figlio del prete
Il figlio del prete
IL FIGLIO DEL PRETE Lyrics Meaning
[Strofa 1]
Salmo introduces “il figlio del prete” as a child born into secrecy and abuse, implicating the Church in crimes of predation and cover-up. The protagonist is shaped by abandonment, trauma, and vengeance, harboring a thirst for blood as a response to being dehumanized. He doesn’t believe in the Church but instead pledges loyalty to violence—symbolized by his new “religion,” a Beretta firearm. The verse draws a chilling parallel between sacred symbols and monstrous behavior, exposing the irony in worshiping figures capable of such evil. Salmo’s lyricism turns the priest’s son into both a victim and a weapon—unloved, unseen, and transformed by his past.
[Ritornello]
The repetition of “Il figlio del prete” in the chorus acts like a chant or mantra, amplifying the mythic and ominous nature of the character. It reinforces his presence as a looming figure of reckoning, almost ghostlike in his persistence. The lack of additional lyrics mirrors the character’s singular identity, as if his entire being has been reduced to this haunting label.
[Strofa 2]
The second verse deepens the narrative, portraying the priest’s son as cold, strategic, and merciless. He views murder not as sin but as a necessary act of resistance against institutions like the Vatican and the State. Salmo contrasts academic education with “laureato in strada,” emphasizing the character’s street-hardened wisdom. Imagery of knives, blood, and hammer blows on church bells paints a grim picture of vengeance masquerading as justice. He calls out the Church’s financial corruption while suggesting that the violence he unleashes is a consequence of their moral bankruptcy. The verse closes with a warning—the priest’s son will haunt dreams, evoking both fear and reckoning.
[Ritornello]
The final chorus echoes like a final toll of a bell, driving home the chilling presence of the protagonist. His identity remains fixed and unforgettable—a symbol of pain that refuses to be silenced or sanctified.
