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.

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.

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

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

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
