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
