Lyrics:
V1
For the longest time you were my religion
But there are sins of love that can never be forgiven
I am left here with all I sacrificed
Praying at the altar of my pride
PRE CH
Was it heaven or a veil in disguise?
Did I bow to the devil in your eyes?
CH
I gave you my soul, I fed every flame
Built a temple all in your name
Faith can fall just like kingdoms do
The love that I worshiped was never you
You were my religion
But now I’m born again in truth
V1
Through the fever of each and every kiss
The taste of Judas lingered on my lips
I have fallen here upon my knees
To question all that I believe
PRE CH
Was it heaven or a veil in disguise?
Did I bow to the devil in your eyes?
CH
I gave you my soul, I fed every flame
Built a temple all in your name
Faith can fall just like kingdoms do
The love that I worshiped was never you
You were my religion
But now I’m born again in truth
BRIDGE
Your love was gospel wrapped in gold
Only every vow was bought and sold
Now silence tolls where choirs once sang
I bear the cross where our future hangs
CH
I gave you my soul, I fed every flame
Built a temple all in your name
Faith can fall just like kingdoms do
The love that I worshiped was never you
You were my religion
But now I’m born again in truth
For the longest time you were my religion
There are sins of love that can never be forgiven
