The Vacant Throne
05:53
|
|||
Of gold and light, crystals and jewels
The father’s of christ, the king of fools
Tarnished, it fades. Shimmer to black
Gems lost their luster. Foundation cracked
As nations crumble. God’s turned away
Death and destruction lie in his wake
As always written, man destroys man.
In the name of god. The divine plan
So to what end do we persist?
Extermination of the religious?
The loss of life? Perhaps the answer.
The path to peace. Rid of the cancer.
Now that the light has left and metal’s become stone
Mankind shall hold the burden and assume the vacant throne
Tormented populace begging for relief
They must be washed of faith or suffer for their beliefs
Mark of the coward. To abandon those –
That had been faithful. Even in death throes.
Passing for nothing. Entering the void
Into the abyss. Hope is destroyed
So we must ask, with nothing to blame –
But yourself. Would the results be the same?
Now that the light’s left us all alone
Mankind will hold. The vacant throne.

Licentious Procession
05:06
|
|||
Lust corrupting faith
Seething to copulate
As the holy congregate
Desire turns into rape
Convents now dens of iniquity
Once for the pious, exist as brothels
Tasting human flesh entranced in sinful pleasure
Oh how they’ve fallen from their path
Twisting mass of greed unified in fornication
Cunts dripping wet in libidinous exploration
Millennia of repressed desire rears its head
Holy faith discarded to worship the flesh instead
Indulging in carnal urges. Sweat beads upon breasts
Fingers buried deep. Thighs spread for their caress
Sighs of pleasure fill the once taciturn halls
Sisters bound by faith incestuous, enthralled
Unrelenting, voracious sexual obsession
Rituals perverted become a licentious procession
Blood as lubricant on the cross for masturbation
Lost in lechery. Consumed with elation
Abbess conducting
Anchorite whores
To clean the nectar
From virgin groin
Abbess conducting
Abbey of sluts
Tongues craving pussy
Once chaste. Now fucked.

Obsolete Ideology
04:39
|
|||
Dreadful existence
Living life to serve
On your knees
For hope you don’t deserve
Eyes gaze upward
Take in the empty sky
There is no heaven
To take you when you die
Mouth running
Spewing misology
Obsolete ideology
Lies upon lies fed to your progeny
Proliferating fictitious prophecy
Stifling science because your god said no
Thousands of years of progress lost, so many more to go
Wars upon wars fought in the name of faith
Mutilate! Murder! Yet love? Fucking disgrace
Crimes upon crimes committed against man
Forcing the youth to join a fight that they don’t understand
Dreadful existence
Living life to serve
On your knees
For hope you don’t deserve
Eyes gaze upward
Take in the empty sky
There is no heaven
To take you when you die
Still you preach
But practice hypocrisy
Pleading and praying
For theocracy
Mouth running
Spewing misology
Obsolete ideology
Hide behind charity
Guiding away from truth
Shepherds to the sheep
Verbatim to the script
With love your told you’ll burn
If you stray from the path
Your holy loving god
Threatens apocalypse
Tighter and tighter grows the grip of conviction
Fiening for the church to slake your addiction
Worthless waste of life contributing to nothing
Spending your time waiting for god to tell you to do something
Over and over we see it all unfold
Persecution. Atrocities untold
Stagnant in pursuit of anthroposophy
In a world enamored with archaic philosophy

Evil Has Its Day
05:22
|
|||
Released from icy chains the ground begins to tremble
Summon the demon! We play the devils metal
Behold! Satan’s emergence upon earth
Rising through the volcano an infernal rebirth
Raining down hellfire and brimstone
Praying for absolution it’s too late to atone
Set to raze the holy of mankind
Nowhere to run. All were left behind
A cosmic storm
Conjured from hell
Assaults the earth
Torches the sky
Flesh melting blaze
Sweeping the globe
Grief stricken religious
Morningstar!
Winds of ashes
All that’s left
Of the church
Incinerated
For those of faith, this day there’s no return
Lucifer’s spread his wings and now you all shall burn
Death to devotion. Death to restraint.
Death to the holy. Satanic campaign!
Released from icy chains the ground begins to tremble
Summon the demon! We play the devils metal
Evil
Has
Its
Day

Dereliction Of Divinity
03:41
|
|||
Graceless enigma
Alpha? Craven master
Exalted fraud
Cloaked in clandestine phrasing
Forever bathing in vanity
Conducting mankind’s misfortune
To watch them suffer, but still obey
Jealous
Avaricious
The holy kingdom
Is locked away
No chance
To enter heaven
The holy scripture
Was all a lie
Relinquish
Your soul to Hades
Unto the pit
When you die
Lucifer is waiting
To receive your eternal soul
The god you loved has abandoned you
Now you’ll rot in hell below
Pleading for salvation
But your prayers will not be heard
You’ll burn here for eternity
Tortured for your sins incurred
Peeling flesh
Demon’s feeding on the sinews of your remains
Negligence on behalf of god has left you engulfed in flames
“Save me”
You plead to nothing
Your god’s not listening
You’re here to stay
Hopeless
Irredeemable
Lie in anguish
For eternity
