Lost Religion
Verse 1:
My naked soul has finally let you go
In secrecy, passionately dismayed
Slandered kisses, unforgiving nights
Finding no truce in words betrayed
Verse 2:
My trusting mind, a wasted time
An ending to our once sacred song
Notes disappear into the atmosphere
With prayers untold, love has gone
Chorus:
I have discovered you like a lost religion
Put my faith in a love without evidence
Recovering from my sickened condition
Salvation swallowed by my ignorance
I have discovered you like a lost religion
Put my faith in a love without evidence
While all you asked was for my submission
The conditional terms of your benevolence
Verse 3:
Desired you like that tempter’s touch
When your whispers brushed my soul
These silk sewn eyes, once hypnotized
Washed and weakened under your control
Verse 4:
Was I just your relic, a passing mystery
I'm the person you taught me how to hate
First you sold me on my worthlessness
Then you offered me your impious fate
Chorus:
I have discovered you like a lost religion
Put my faith in a love without evidence
Recovering from my sickened condition
Salvation swallowed by my ignorance
I have discovered you like a lost religion
Put my faith in a love without evidence
While all you asked was for my submission
The conditional terms of your benevolence
Chorus Repeat
