A world in chaos, a people lost
Days of sorrow, days of bedlam Anticipate it's coming, world upheaval The darkness upon us, soon to come At the coming of the dawn No one hears our dying cries Our somber vigils nevermore From humble beginnings comes the one To lead us blindly into the night Obscure and prophetic, his rise to God Many will perish in the wake of this savior As we near our final days Will we see beyond the dark Has our blood been shed in vain You will all be fooled You will all be fooled When he reveals himself When he reveals himself You will all be fooled You will all be fooled He sees withing your hearts He sees within your souls A people divided Turn on each other No one shall rival Our new found messiah And all shall follow And heed his calling Ensure his reign Will span the heavens He'll rise... We'll fall... His rule... Our end... At the coming of the dawn We've seen into the dark In the shadow of the beast We'll close our eyes one final time You will all be fooled You will all be fooled When he reveals himself When he reveals himself You will all be fooled You will all be fooled He sees withing your hearts He sees within your souls 02. No Jesus, No Beast
No Christ... no cross
No pain... no loss No wanton guilt for us to bear No body... no blood No crown... no thorns No bastard son, no chosen one I count the days When the oppressed are released The ending of his reign No Jesus, No Beast No pits of sin to languish in No path of just for us to follow No foolish prayer and seething lies No virgin birth on pagan earth I await the time When our hatred is unleashed He'll rule no more No Jesus, No Beast Leader of fools Creator of sin Extractor of hope Deceiver of truth Can you hear us... Death to Jesus As horizons overcast with menacing formations Those who will stand are committed no more Icon of icons, shattered and overtaken This Bastard, this Beast, this Jesus must die No Christ... no cross No pain... no loss No wanton guilt for us to bear No body... no blood No Crown... no thorns No bastard son, no chosen one I count the days When the oppressed are released The ending of his reign No Jesus, No Beast 03. Failures For Gods
Have faith in their words
From your weakness they are born Messiahs to the masses But failures for all Send millions to worship Send millions to die Devoted, they follow in blindness Lost, they can not find their way Eminent... immortal Crowned by our hands Bringers of terror, all will cower in fear Bringers of war, their people perish and die Bringers of plague, the faithful wither and fade Bringers of famine, the hunger grows and grows Cure not our ills... Feed on our souls... Promise eternity... Eternity never comes... Their lies will lull the chaos While humanity falls around them Impoverished, in droves they'll grovel In confusion and fear they flourish They've failed to lead the way out of darkness Their wourds man nothing, your gods are dead Let them rape you Let them rule you They will take you You're failures for gods No promis land No love toward man No perfect end You're failures for gods Can they not see the deception and thetyranny So desperate they've become the victims not eh victors Can they not see the tragedy in thier beliefs The failures you worship are the failures you've become Eminent... immortal Crowned by our hands 04. Unsaved
Shining with hues of magnificent splendor
Leading the way, revere him The righteous, the saved Hand in hand, poised in rapture Blissful delusion, believe in forever Choirs of angels strike chords of transgression How you are like your savior With souls impure and vile Rescued from our presence Your fall will be divine Behold, the days of righteousness are coming For wicked are the hearts of men and gods Cleanse yourselves, step out of the light Purge me of Christ... empowered, unsaved Humble before him... the price for their saving Don't pray for my soul for I'll rise above you My hatred is my strength and through this I'll conquer The fear and the weakness I see in your eyes Touched by the divine They hide in the light Adorn me with his crown 05. God Made Filth
The ways of the blessed
Scourging mankind Such reverence and obedience As we drown in his filth The fires of depravity Are burning with vigor Professing his name to all Writhing and crying, for a savior you're calling Wretched and broken, humanity is falling Selfish and wicked, you rape and you take Reach up and take the hand of God, For everything he touches is turned to shit Follow him into glory, Leave behind the Eden that you've ravaged Filthy Christians Will your crosses help you cleanse your filthy souls Filthy liars, Wallow in the dimming light of promise Laughing and beaming, revel in our ruin Turning his back, shakes our blood from his hands A world in denial of being denied Will you ever see the river of black spilling from his wounds Will you ever hear the somber walls of winds that carry hope Can you crawl from beneath the layers of his filth The fires of depravity Still burning and burning Professing and declaring His kingdom on earth 06. Stench Of High Heaven
Father in Heaven, a desolate kingdom
His paradise, his promise, a faded flame extinguished by the dark Lifetimes of devotion...eternities of nothing The place for which you long, eludes and embitters In the hands of fools and liars...trade your lives for grace Your souls are weak and empty, now kiss his throne of sorrow From crooked tongues...takes of pristine glory Consumed by flames it burns, the fall of the holy kingdom So high... Absurd... Sickening... is the stench of high heaven Through the clouds Through the lies You'll never see what's never been At the passing of life and the coming of death Pass not through it's gates, but into the dark No light... No love... No glory... No heaven... Fallen has the king... fallen has the kingdom Fall into uplifted arms below The stench of heaven... lingers above Sour is the air But soon the air will clear 07. Your Angel Died
Angel of beauty
Angel of the spirit Come down and walk among us Let the spirit die within you Shed your ties to God Shed your holy grace Come down and walk among us Be tempted b the flesh Denounce he who keeps you Turn away from his light Let your eyes feast upon The debauchery that awaits Indulge in your desires Taste the fruits of sin Angel of the spirit Become one of the flesh I will tempt you Child of light Show your weakness Child of God Revolted by it's weakness So easily corrupted Let us plague you with perversion You've become what you abhor No longer will you know The raptures of the heavens But instead what you will see Is the sickness of the world Taste the sweetness of the flesh Let it feed our vestal needs Taste the sweetness of desire Your wings will burn and turn to dust The flesh is crude, this flesh is evil Forever banished to flesh and blood Abandon he who commands the light Forsake the holy spirit You will feel the charms of lust Know the pain of loss Envy what's not yours And covet with selfish greed Now flesh of my flesh Open to my hunger Permeate your pureness With the corrupted seen of humanity I will tempt you Child of light Show your weakness Child of sin 08. The Devil I Know
Cold and empty
His essence malign This absence of light Casts out and condemns... God's will His soul, his essence Lives inside us This wretched mark Has stained our souls... Forever Through us his war is won Victorious over God and his son Persuasive and dominant his presence Shall break the strongest of wills The devout can't endure his storms Grant passage into our world His shadow will consume his storms Grant passage into our world His shadow will consume and feed Upon your blessed trinity Cripple and erase it's curse Bring upon the end of faith Until your savior comes again He'll come alive through our beliefs We hear his laughter through our tears His cries of glory as we stray from the light Defeated and shamed, chastised and silent Angels, and Saints, and God forgotten The path to heaven ends at conception Our souls will fall far below the clouds Through us his war is won Victorious over God and his son Persuasive and dominant his presence Shall break the strongest of wills The devout can't endure his storms Grant passage into our world |
