Ignite the flame of violence
At the dawn of wrath
For we shall not see the real holy trinity
The killer, the rapist and the deceiver
Seated on the thrones you’ve made
And let them judge the living and the dead

At the right and the left hand of God you stay
Marking your path with the deeds most vicious

Indoctrinate
Manipulate
Annihilate
Cement our faith
Through oppression and suffering
Re-create the dead body of the redeemer
With the blood torn from our veins

Provoke the doubtful
Ignore the lament of the meek
Have no mercy
Feast upon their foolish hopes

Rise above
The civil law and justice
Impose thy moral codes with sword and fire
Rise above
The age of reason
Proclaim thy will supreme

Can you hear me from the depths I’ve fallen
From the cage of thorns you made and left me hopeless
Flies circle around the dead body of mine
Still my heart keeps beating
But nothing can comfort an empty hollow soul
Lord, why have you forgotten me

How come I can’t reach you anymore
There’s nothing I can relate to in places I used to adorn
Thy servants so odd and hostile
They see through me
And speak words that shatter like glass
Comfort my soul like sleet and acid rain
Lord, why have you forgotten me

Banished from light
With fear I stumble and fall
Every time I struggle to rise
Seeking redemption
From the misery you’ve been dragging me through

Have pity and uplift the rotting essence of mine
Burned and swallowed by seething darkness
The darkness of God

Clans of hyenas
Make your way to the herd
And sing unto the Lord the same song of mass deception
Declare his decrepit glory among the nations
And use the power of suggestion and fear
For Lord’s wrath is to be feared

Honour aside
The world once established shall not be moved
Give unto the Lord the glory
Don’t mind it all has been taken down
Lying in ruins

Poison the fields of the earth and all that is herein
Let clouds and darkness enshroud the judgement of all living
For his righteousness has to be seen
Declare his decrepit glory among the nations
Use the power of deceptive persuasion
Bring sacrificial lambs and lead the herd into his courts
Stripped of all strength and beauty

Honour aside
The world once established shall not be moved
Give unto the Lord the glory
Don’t mind it all has been taken down
Lying in ruins
Worship the Lord in the dismay of the punishment eternal
Sing unto the Lord
Bless his name
Let resound the echo of the void

Illuminate the fading light and brace the crumbling structures
Apologetics: defenders of morbid fantasies
Proclaim thy faith rock solid, carved in stone
But even stones and rocks erode
And great would be the fall

Raise the monuments of earth and stone and bone
The final perfect image in the form
Of everything in heaven and in the waters below
Thou shalt bow down thyself to them and serve them
For I the Lord, thy Lord
Am not a jealous God

Refill the chalice of the holy thirst
Reward thy offspring with the dish of the sacred hunger
Choirs from thy spires caress thee and bless thee
The icon of a hundred mouths is devouring thy cattle and thy goats

Devotion and precision
Forgotten vowels, mortal words in endless permutations
To each deity a faith, ebony altars, ivory thrones
In newfound bizarre combinations
God‘s features distort
Mutated beyond comprehension

To each new Lord his own
Ebony altars, ivory thrones

Lo and behold
Raise them high
Let them reign supreme
Forever deceiving dismal gods

For his faith is a consuming fire
Let the fire forge the man himself
For his faith is a flowing water
Let the water fill the man himself
So that he may know

Raise their monuments of earth and stone and bone
The final perfect image takes its form
Atrocities of heaven and the waters below
Thou shalt bow down thyself to them
Forever deceiving dismal gods

Blessed shall be he who takes lives
Of the most vulnerable ones
And seizes them with the burden of sin
Since they are supposed to come
Like that since birth
Leave a stain that would not heal

Make them suffer
For the rest of their lives
Living in shame

Infest their lives with a cardinal sin
O Father
Conceal thy failure in a putrid haze
Infest their lives with a cardinal sin
O Father
Conceal thy failure
In a putrid haze of sanctity

God delusion in a form of ulcers grows
As anger cumulates
Burnt out and bleeding
In a cyclic mass of hope and desperation
Stigmata eternal, wounds that never heal
But drag you down like a mark of dishonour
Father, thou hast brought nothing
Cover yourself in shame

Inflict their lives with a cardinal sin
O Father
Conceal thy failure in a putrid haze
Lock thyself in a shelter
Of all despicable liars
In the deepest depths of abomination
O Father, heaven awaits
Burning with fire and brimstone

Buried on the darkest day of the year
O Father, blessed be thy coffin and thy rotting remains
Words of final commendation and farewell go unheard
While holy water sprays all over
As a reminder of a life you wish you could have
Servants of filth
Receive his soul and present him to the Lord of all worms and vermin

Into thy hands we commend this cowardly swine

As the Moon hides the circle of the Sun, now the grave has hidden thee
Thy mortal body eclipsed in death, like flesh of all mortal men
The flesh of so called God buried beneath the earth
Consumed by darkness, leaving no trace of hope

It is our right to despise thee, giver of plague
For thou has stretched our arms upon the cross with no redemption
It is our right to despise thee, giver of death
For through thy passion we are condemned to suffer a thousand deaths

Dead in appearance, yet alive through mythos, O Jesus,
Thou leadest up the fallen from the earth to nothingness
O Christ, the failure, by thy death thou hast invoked death
And murder became art and fountain of anguish for the world

It is our right to despise thee, giver of plague
For thou has stretched our arms upon the cross with no redemption
It is our right to despise thee, bringer of death
For through thy passion we are condemned to suffer a thousand deaths

Uplifted on the cross, thou hast uplifted with thyself no one
But the weight of thy own grief
Stretched out upon the wood, thou hast drawn mortal men
To unity in death and misery
I feel nothing to thy passion and sufferings
I won’t praise thy burial
By abandoning thy word I am set free

I shall not be ashamed
For I have erased thy words from my memory
Forsake me utterly

[Instrumental]

Great rejoicing
Tore the night asunder
At first light, the spear was driven through its chest
The lamb was calm
And from the way it fell
Omens were drawn
As to the welfare of the commonwealth

Let thy neighbour be thy scapegoat instead of thy beast
For to err is human
Place all the sins of the world upon his shoulders
For human is the animal divine

May ashes and chalk cover the face of the unworthy
Spare us from mercy on whom we could have known
Hath not thy hand made all these things
Let the tainted fleece cleanse the blood that the sheep have spilled

Tears of joy caress their cheeks
A distant gaze of wide open eyes
O misfortune, leave our doorsteps as we soften the celestial scorn
A gentle smile, a nod of agreement
When the honest work is done
High heavens reflected in pools of black and crimson
Their perfection descends upon the ground
In an image reversed

Go forth, O tortured souls, from this world
In the name of God who created thee
Like a fruit that has grown in thy light
Becometh a nest of worms in thy shade

Blinded by the great deceiver
Spreading the words of blasphemy
Away from God and thy Holy Church
Forsaken upon funeral pyres

Go forth, O fallen souls, from this world
In the name of God, who created thee
Those who raise their voice against thy holy teachings
Those who have no hope but thy mercy

Blinded by the great deceiver
Spreading the words of blasphemy
Away from God and thy Holy Church
Forsaken upon funeral pyres

May thy holy words and thy pristine law proceed

Consumed by flames, redeeming black clouds of death
Reaching higher
Towards unending heavenly skies

Dispersed and absorbed
Contagious sinful essence turned to ash

Revolted by the stench of a burning sin
I turned my face away with grief
