A ghost in the killing fields, full of grace.

Lyrics to Tupac Shakur’s “Hail Mary” accidentally found their way onto the back of a Sri Lankan song sheet in place of the carol.

The Nelum Pokuna Theatre in Colombo printed the incredibly not safe for work — or church — lyrics for the 2016 Catholic Joy to the World earlier in the month.

Tupac’s “Hail Mary” includes graphic lyrics about sex, death and drugs.

The event was a fundraiser for Poverty Alleviation Projects, organized by the Archdiocese of Commbo and the St. Joseph Vaz Trust.

Instead of the traditional Catholic prayer, the service’s message was one of sex, death and drugs.

Tupac, who was shot and killed in 1996, will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year.
