Sacrilege

Tarot strewn across the floor

Fate creeps under the creaking door

Say farewell to the salad days

Arms held out for the needle haze

Scars, scars start to show

But don't, don't despair

For the shame I know

Bible for the love and damned

Religion for the pagan man

Faith and prayer for the chosen few

Mystic shades of violent hue

Blood, blood on my cheeks

And the taste

The taste of ash curls

Across my tongue

Sacrilege, burning

On the funeral pyre

Sacrilege, toss and turn

On the cross to burn

Rape and pillage, the sacred word

Heart of darkness, crowned and stirred

Rite of passage, reckless whirl

Fruit forbidden, ritual swirl

And you, what can you do?

And I, I say there's nothing

You can do to stop this

Sacrilege, burning

On the funeral pyre

Sacrilege, toss and turn

On the cross to burn

Tarot strewn across the floor

Fate creeps under the creaking door

Say farewell to the salad days

Arms held out for the needle haze

Scars, scars start to show

But don't, don't despair

For the shame I know

Sacrilege, burning

On the funeral pyre

Sacrilege, toss and turn

On the cross to burn
