[Intro]
(Heavy church bells echo under warped synth pads + whispered Female ad-libs)
Hallelujah... hallelujah...
You're the sin I'll never give up...
[Verse 1]
I wear your name like a rosary chain
Blood on my tongue, calling out your name
You break me slow, make me beg
Crown of thorns tangled in my head
I'm your disciple, you're my holy war
I swear I'll suffer if you'll give me more
Hands on my throat — I'm still coming back
Heaven never hurt me like that
[Pre-Chorus]
Baptized in your touch
You're holy till you hurt too much
Hallelujah on my breath
Love you like God... worship you to death
[Chorus]
You're my bad religion
Every kiss is contradiction
Burn me down, make me believe
I'll kneel if you promise you'll never leave
You're my bad religion
Cross my heart in your submission
Break me, bless me, call it devotion
You're the sin that feels like heaven...
[Post-Chorus]
(Ethereal choir + glitch vocals layered with whispered ad-libs)
Hallelujah... hallelujah...
I'll pray for you — if you pray for me...
[Verse 2]
Your hands are gospel underneath my skin
I taste your wrath every time you let me in
You're the knife and I'm the lamb
I beg for mercy just to bleed again
You turn my bed into an altar
Every touch leaves me closer to slaughter
You could save me — but you never will
I'll worship you while you burn me still
[Pre-Chorus]
Baptized in your touch
You're holy till you hurt too much
Hallelujah on my breath
Love you like God... worship you to death
[Chorus]
You're my bad religion
Every kiss is contradiction
Burn me down, make me believe
I'll kneel if you promise you'll never leave
You're my bad religion
Cross my heart in your submission
Break me, bless me, call it devotion
You're the sin that feels like heaven...
[Bridge]
(Beat cuts out — soft haunting choir vocals + breathy whispers)
You never loved me...
But I'd die to prove you did
Say my name like a prayer
And I'll call it salvation...
[Final Chorus]
You're my bad religion
Every kiss is contradiction
Drown me in every lie you preach
I'll kneel if you promise you'll never leave
You're my bad religion
Bleeding out in your submission
Hallelujah, burn me whole
You're the sin I'll never let go...
[Outro]
(Echoed whispers + warped synth fade out)
Hallelujah... hallelujah...
Worship me to death...
VENNA... Venom...
