[Verse 1]

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?


[Verse 2]

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


[Bridge]

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


[Verse 3]

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


[Ad lib]

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
