[English]

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

(An nescitis quoniam membra vestra)

(Templum est Spiritus Sancti)

(Qui in vobis est quem habetis a Deo et non estis vestri)

Through a life of devotion, I've been quelling my urges 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 have thanked God for the remedy, but I'm not 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 laicized

Blasphemy, heresy

Save me from the bottom of my heart, I know

I'm Satanized

From the bottom of my heart, I know

I'm Satanized

From the bottom of my heart, I know

I'm Satanized, I'm Satanized, I'm Satanized

...
