Verse 1
I poured it into the sacred gold cup While the congregation stood looking up They thought it was grace, they thought it was light A holy communion to save them tonight I elevated the glass with a smile so divine And watched them swallow down my venom for wine
Pre-Chorus
Take and drink… every last drop… Once it starts spreading, it never will stop.
Chorus
Holy poison! Blessed by the dark! Holy poison! Igniting the spark! You prayed for a miracle, you prayed for release Now drink down the venom and rest in my peace Holy poison… Sanctus Corruptus!
Verse 2
It tastes like redemption, it burns like a kiss A divine intoxication you wouldn’t miss It flows through the sanctuary, altar to door Leaving your idols face down on the floor The priests try to chant but their voices decay As the holy dark washes their doctrines away
Chorus
Holy poison! Blessed by the dark! Holy poison! Igniting the spark! You prayed for a miracle, you prayed for release Now drink down the venom and rest in my peace Holy poison… Sanctus Corruptus!
Bridge
[Gothic choir singing Latin chants into heavy distortion] Bibite ex hoc omnes… Hic est sanguis meus… Corruptio aeterna!
Final Chorus
Holy poison! The altar is mine! Holy poison! The dark is divine! You took the sacrament and called it a cure Now you are mine and your ruin is pure! Holy poison… Drink up.
