Death of the Altar

Here's the church, here's the steeple Here lies the end of you and me Champagne for the people Three cheers, a perfect tragedy Threw it all away, flowers on a grave Held you until death did us apart Said my name in vain, looked me in the face Even when you stabbed me in the heart There's poison in the holy water (Welcome to the death of the altar) They say what loves you makes you suffer (Welcome to the death of the altar) A deadly sin, a deadly truth I've been losing faith in you If you're my God, then God's a monster Welcome to the death of the altar No sympathy for the Devil You tied the knot to tie the noose Haystack and the needle Buried my bones to hide the proof Threw it all away, flowers on a grave Held you until death did us apart Said my name in vain, looked me in the face Even when you stabbed me in the heart There's poison in the holy water (Welcome to the death of the altar) They say what loves you makes you suffer (Welcome to the death of the altar) A deadly sin, a deadly truth I've been losing faith in you If you're my God, then God's a monster Welcome to the death of the altar Gave me love in name alone Welcome to the death of the altar There's poison in the holy water (Welcome to the death of the altar) They say what loves you makes you suffer (Welcome to the death of the altar) A deadly sin, a deadly truth I've been losing faith in you If you're my God, then God's a monster Welcome to the death of the altar
