i stick my finger down your throat

explore my thoughts of murder

a journey through the human heart

dark places filled with terror

obsession lets me have my way

devotion makes you stay

this mercy seat you imitate

wont let you get away

in praise of him i pray

in praise of him i'm saved

in praise of him i give myself away

come kiss away my honesty

exploit me with your pain

learn to love this monster you created in your name

confession lets you face your fear

redemption leaves a stain

the thought of me makes you so sick

theres nothing left to hate

in praise of him i pray

in praise of him im saved

in praise of him i gave myself away again

in praise of him i've prayed

in praise of him i'm saved

in praise of him i gave myself away

a different sort of suffering

i practise what i preach

aromatherapeutic death

can you smell me speak

if violence is religion then everyones a star

it doesnt matter what youve done

only who you are

who you are

who you are

underneath the hollywood cross

underneath this holy wood cross

my lover let me tie you down

hold your heart my hostage

i promise after i am through

your skin will still taste salted

my mouth is not your enemy

my lips are not your friend

if we were still together

i would torture you again

in praise of him i pray

in praise of him i'm saved

in praise of him i give myself away

in praise of him ive prayed

in praise of him im saved

in praise of him i hate myself today

you never know what you will find

until you look inside

i never knew what i would find

and then i looked inside

let me torture you again

torture you m
