Lyrics / Baptized in Mainstream
I sold my soul years ago, and discovered souls go cheap.
In a back road religion of the fast lane god,
was the shepherd of strung out sheep.
We worshiped blindly, but our church was rock,
lived our prayers while our profits bled -
All was spent for an ascent on wings of decibels,
and other ways to get out of our heads.
Our choir, hard- voiced screaming guitars, sang our praises home.
From the metal clergy, to the acid saints.
May they reign forever over our bones.
“I will not sell out.” was our brethren vow,
but our stoned wouldn’t turn to bread.
So we made our way to a greener place
to keep more than our spirits fed.
Still, I’d desecrate churches just to get to you.
Burn sermons as they’re screamed.
Ain’t what I do best, just what I do
to keep me from being
baptized in mainstream.
Well, they raised me up and they taught me to prey,
me, a child of a lesser god.
I fell to my knees at the corporate alter, now I’m Bishop of Rebel Facade.
Hell, I’m rich, the new religion’s bitch. There’s millions in my hands.
The lesson, this: the ground will shift if our faith is a house on sand.
Still, I’d desecrate those churches just to get to you.
I’d be the devil’s best wet dream.
Ain’t what I do best, it’s just what I do

Not much to say.. Excellent lyrics.. Harder for me to appreciate what with only having lived 17 years and all.. I’m sort of at the beginning of where this song starts out… I’d love to hear the music that goes with this. Nice work

Yes I loved this I loved the meaning,the tirle the lyrics it was awsome.If its supposed to be a song try flowing in a song like form just to give it a beat when you read it.Nice grammer alsow and the use of words was top notch.
Overall very very very nice work.
