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
 high on deceit and what I can blind
 Heresy is my guilty creed
 in perjury engulfed in greed
