Treasonous

I learned the lord is my master

though his name I no more chant

I removed my silver crucifix

harken not to the preacher's rant

My only bible has been burned

that was the last time I kneeled

Nothing in church I ever learned

only to my selfish urge I'd yield

I am traitorous

I am treasonous

Sworn allegiance I desert

to sin and lust I convert

My unbelief prevaricates

the abode of hell my soul awaits

So I burn

oh they feed me flames

At the stake I taste the merciless fire

so I burn

Oh but the devil knows

I shall rise renewed from the ashes of my death

I was throbbing in my desire

holy doctrines I no more knew

When i was praying at the altar

the words all seemed too few

Tempted to sell my soul

my mind corrupted with vanity

Obsessed to reach my goal

enticed beyond the gates of insanity

Perverse intent in my mind

Heresy is my guilty creed

in perjury engulfed in greed
