Sacreligion Lyrics

We're free-willed individuals, perform not on command
Our own unholy rituals spread terror across the land
No one tells us what to write, or what we're gonna play
We'll fight the faith of penitence until our dying day

If we had religion, pleasure be thy name, but
we live for sacreligion, that our blasphemies proclaim!
If we had a deity, Lucifer He'd be, but
we'll never stoop to piety, nor cease to tout our ideology!

We've been around and seen the fools who kneel before the altar
We play by no one else's rules - our egos hardly falter
We play our heavy metal loud, though it's considered rude
Bein' ousted makes us proud, and fellates our attitude!

If we had religion, pleasure be thy name, but
we live for sacreligion, that our blasphemies proclaim!
If we had a deity, Lucifer He'd be, but
we'll never stoop to piety, nor cease to doubt we're free!

...the madness that has come before
this hardbitten allegory we're left...

Would that it were so easy! Would that we had the strength
Would that our ignorance, wanton and stark,
gave creed to our insolence!
When the great are distilled from the swarms
and strike untrodden paths by their step
would that the tracks of our blazing souls
looked well upon that which came before (in retrospect)...
...Some day I will die!
