Silly Blasphemy Song

Rosemary’s Baby was on Epix tonight, and it reminded me of this sketch I wrote once long ago, intended for Robot Chicken, using the Bee Gees’ song: “Tragedy”, with some Roman Catholic guy accusing Martin Luther of blasphemy and heresy, and while there’s lots more, here’s the best part (based on the song’s first two choruses):

It’s blasphemy,
Through your mourning cries you still don’t know why,
It’s hard to pray,
With no one to guide you you’re going to hell.
