Absence Of The Sacred - Atrocities That Birthed Abominations lyrics



Tracks



01. I (Intro)

[Instrumental]

02. The Malignant Strain

Countdown to the second hour
Dying comes a little bit slower
Revive not the human race
An epitaph of life

Contempt is taking over
Witness the innocent suffer
Consequence will deal the hand
A return to life

Open up to swallow the lie
See the hate infesting inside
They isolate themselves
For their demons

Sadistic motives are found
Their hands are pulling me down
Disassembling the masses
For their demons

Complicit movements
Accentuate madness
Compelled and enthralled
Physicality enslaved

Fear seems to bring forward
The ending of times to come
A process of bleeding inwards
They call it blood for blood...

An epitaph of life.

03. My Vendetta

False prophets and religion
Bleed their believers for faith and disease
I shall bring down your ascension
Drown in your own filth and corruption

Tears away the laws of the world
Dying divinity descending low
Indulge in the blood of your martyr
Bleeding like a venomous crescendo

For which I create
A method to subjugate...
Your perverted words
Your scheme of sufferance...

Global web of deceit...
Robes cast from gold and greed...
Spreading their calculative lies
In front of sheltered eyes

Cast upon the throne of hypocrisy
A crown of thorns to pierce in malice
Scriptures awashed in innocent blood
Bullets fired by the crowds in apostasy

Fear is their weapon of choice
My weapon shall be my voice
I shall destroy the influence
Nothing controls my mind

I have no gods and no masters
I spit upon empty idolatry
Desecrate the houses of the holy
Nothing is sacred, nothing is safe from
My vendetta.

04. Fallen Into Obscurity

Time will waste away
Remnants of thought and mortality
Rot the ignorant flesh
Nothing ever stays

In the bleak desolation
Even dreams will decay
Expunged into non-existence
Null and void

Exile the spirit and mind
From silent bodies
Drifting in dead reverie
Null and void

Withdrawn beyond comprehension
Purposelessness conceived
Cease the flow and connection
Dispel all belief

Memories...
Fallen into obscurity
Overshadowed...
By harsh reality
Everything fades to grey...
Non-existence

Time will waste away
Remnants of thought and mortality
Rot the ignorant flesh
Nothing ever stays

05. Our Glorious Dead

Lies in the trench, feel the fire underneath
Blood is boiling now,wings of death are flying free
Veil of sovereignty, lies built for us to see
Wounded dogs of war, a bloodied history

A bloodied history...

Fear engulfs the weak
Kill the need to hear and speak
Stained foreheads of the young
Imprisoned where they don't belong

Take the rebellious ones
Chaingangs of the strong
Churn the wheels of hate
Watch this world disintegrate

Fire at the opposing force
They shall not get across
Finish them off, critical strike
Decimation of the enemy lines

Retaliate..for this anger to satiate
Revenge is sworn through the blood
Retaliate...for this anger to satiate
Revenge is sworn through the blood

Rebel lands swept in dust
Bodies rest in decay
Open tombs for the suffering
Behold the everlasting day...

The lasting day.

06. Grifter

Shadowed walls breached by the
Figure of untold apprehension
Bullets graze nothing but the
Air that he breathes

Movements made to subtlety deceive
Then comes the sleight-of-hand
Weapons used as a divine reprieve
There is nothing to understand

Wreck, kill, maim
Causes of sabotage
Aim, load, fire
Arts of assassination
Meld, hide and wait
Methods of deception

Silent as death-like sleep
Cloaked mercenary
Merciless and swift
Judgment upon the wicked

07. Deadening The Dispirited

Walking blind towards the road of self-destruction
The depths of a hell unknown
Questioning the integrity of self-preservation
We take the first hurting steps...

From sufferance comes perseverance
Limited by imperfection
In the presence of burning time
The failures of the human condition
Hinders the ability to heal and proceed

Scaling the heights of revelation...
Only to fall through the hands of grace
Holding onto what is left...
The remants of beliefs and shattered faith

The gratification of recurring delusions
Distracts the focus of a direction

Purpose of being has been denominated
Decimated...
Reason condemned before accusing eyes
Sewn shut with lies...

We feel ourselves nearing the end

Failure is an option that should be cast aside
A step away from the edge of decline
To let time heal all our wounds in kind
But the deepened, engraved scars still remain

08. Atrocities That Birthed Abominations

Crawl upon the threshold of
Tolerance
And severity
Trespass not the boundaries
Digress the atrocities

Birthed are the the fallen ones
Atone for nothing they have done
Conceive destruction through the
Mouth of the temple

Requit the visions of
The formless ones
Through penace
Re-assailed

We have waited so long
For this time to come
We have waited for so long

We have waited so long
For time time to come
We have waited for so long
For this time to decrown

Contradictions of life condescend
Fractions of thought derailed
Consequences re-construed
Fragments of life re-assumed

Freefall of command
Enunciation of power and strength
Denouncement of integrity
Shroud of war descends...

Through this mortal coil
Relieve this turmoil
Reject the final day
Head downwards to praise

Receive the anointment
Of statutory rape
Defile the innocence
With uncorruptible hate

Atrocities...
That birthed abominations
First world...
Genocide

Collapse the empires...
Ensnare and
Dethrone the liar

Defile all innocent
With uncorruptible hate

09. IX (Outro)
