Lyrics

I tattooed a line ]under the bottom line
Of my religion.
I made up a sign
To keep reminding me of
My religion.

Mixed up my tears in holy water
Tasted blood upon my tongue
I walked the streets with the faithful
Behind the singing men chanting
?Let Thy Will be done.?

My religion

Follow me
Follow the thin white line

When I am ready I will fall to my knees
If I?m ever ready I will fall to my knees
When my eyes are fall of tears
I will bow my head and pray
When I am ready I will find my own way

I drew a box around myself
In the name of my religion
I slept for years alone and still
In the name of my religion
Keeping me safe
From howling dogs
And unholy women
I drew the veil close
And peered at the madness of the world

My religion

Follow me
Follow the thin white line
