"Treasonous" lyrics - BLOODBATH

BLOODBATH
"Treasonous"

I learned the lord is my master
Though his name I no more chant
I removed my silver crucifix
Harken not the preacher's rant
My only Bible has been burned
That was the last time I kneeled
Nothing in church I ever learned
To my selfish urge I'd yield

[Refrain:]
I'm traitorous
I'm treasonous

Sworn allegiance I desert
To sin and lust I convert
My unbelief prevaricates
The abode of hell my soul awaits

[Chorus:]
I burn
Ooh, they feed me flames
At the stake I taste the merciless fire
So I burn
Ooh, but the devil knows
I shall rise renewed from ashes of my death

I was throbbing in my desire
Holy doctrines I no more knew
When I was praying at the altar
Words all seemed too few
Tempted to sell my soul
My mind corrupted with vanity
Obsessed to reach my goal
Enticed beyond gates of insanity

[Refrain:]
I'm traitorous
I'm treasonous

Perverse intent in my mind
High on deceit and what I can blind
Heresy is my guilty creed
Perjury, engulfed in greed

[Chorus:]
I burn
Ooh, they feed me flames
At the stake I taste the merciless fire
So I burn
Ooh, but the devil knows
I shall rise renewed from ashes of my death

[Guitar solo]

[Refrain:]
I'm traitorous
I'm treasonous

[Chorus:]
I burn
Ooh, they feed me flames
At the stake I taste the merciless fire
So I burn
Ooh, but the devil knows
I shall rise renewed from ashes of my death

[Outro:]
Burn!
