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,
they feed me flames.
At the stake I taste
the merciless fire.

So I burn,
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.

I am traitorous,
I am treasonous.

Perverse intent in my mind,
high on deceit and what I can blind.
Heresy is my guilty creed
in perjury engulfed in greed.

So I burn,
they feed me flames.
At the stake I taste
the merciless fire.

So I burn,
but the Devil knows
I shall rise renewed
from the ashes of my death.

I am traitorous,
I am treasonous.

So I burn,
they feed me flames.
At the stake I taste
the merciless fire.

So I burn,
but the Devil knows
I shall rise renewed
from the ashes of my death.
