Lyrics for “Satanized”
Please note that the following lyrics may not be entirely accurate:
There is something inside me and they don’t know if there is a cure
A demonic possession unlike any before
It’s a sickening heartache and it’s slowly tormenting my soul
I’ve invested my prayers into making me whole
I should have known not to give in
I should have known not to give in
Blasphemy (heresy)
Save me from the monster that is eating me
I’m victimized
Blasphemy (heresy)
Save me, from the bottom of my heart I know
I’m Satanized (I’m Satanized, I’m Satanized)
Through a life of devotion I’ve been quelling my earnest to burst
I’ve been fighting the notion to my love be coerced
I should have known not to give in
I should have known not to give in
Blasphemy (heresy)
Save me from the monster that is eating me
I’m paralyzed
Blasphemy (heresy)
Save me from the bottom of my heart I know
I’m Satanized (I’m Satanized, I’m Satanized)
Like a deadly affliction that is twisting and bending my core
I thank God for the remedy, but I’m no longer sure
I should have known not to give in
I should have known not to give in
Blasphemy (heresy)
Save me from the monster that is eating me
I’m [lyric indecipherable]
Blasphemy (heresy)
Save me from the bottom of my heart I know
I’m Satanized
Save me from the bottom of my heart I know
I’m Satanized
Save me from the bottom of my heart I know
I’m Satanized (I’m Satanized, I’m Satanized)
