Like a Virgin (Iron Preacher Version)

Verse 1 From the cloister’s chains I wander, With a heart so bound in prayer. I was lost in lust and thunder, Till your sermon pierced the air. Pre-Chorus I confess in candlelight, On my knees through endless night. Chorus (choir + band, hymn-like) Like a virgin – touched by holy flame, Sanctified in sin, I’ll never be the same. Like a virgin – bound in iron tight, Blessed by morning shame, redeemed in darkest night. Verse 2 Every vow was sworn in sorrow, Every kiss a crown of pain. Now your cross has marked tomorrow, Holy pleasure, dark refrain. Pre-Chorus I confess in candlelight, Chains of purity ignite. Chorus (bigger, more bombastic) Like a virgin – touched by holy flame, Sanctified in sin, I’ll never be the same. Like a virgin – bound in iron tight, Blessed by morning shame, redeemed in darkest night. (solo) Bridge (dramatic, with organ + choir) Raise the chalice high, let the sinners sing, Kneel before the altar, crown the fallen king! Virgin blood or sacred wine, Sin and virtue intertwine! Final Chorus (double, with variation) Like a virgin – Touched for the very first time Sanctified in sin, I’ll never be the same. Like a virgin – bound in iron tight, Blessed by morning shame, redeemed in darkest night. Like a virgin – bells of midnight call, Iron Preacher’s gospel conquers one and all
