Sacrilege Profanity Rabid convulsion Of blasphemy Thus appear my venomous cries To your ears Were they truths or were they lies Rejection Eternal Tyranny Of denial I would surely burn myself at the stake Were my demons the spawn Of your lusts and perversions Parasite Mundane creed Dispassionate Betrayal In times of moral crisis The darkest places in hell Are reserved for the neutral And so you earn My contempt My enmity Malediction Though my path be that of thorns The way of my affliction Is the way to myself The devil will not let me go Though I do not mind Through fiery lakes to where cold rivers flow I honour the contract I signed Sacrilege Profanity Rabid convulsion Of blasphemy Thus appear my venomous cries To your ears Were they truths or were they lies Rejection Eternal Tyranny Of denial I would surely burn myself at the stake Were my demons the spawn Of your lusts and perversions No - the devil will not let me go And I never did mind Through fiery lakes to where cold rivers flow With pleasure I honour the contract I signed
