Sacrifice The Scripture
(Lyrics by Nazgul and Murmur)

lyrics

In the presence of this congregation
I ask to whom do you pay homage
Cowering upon your knees
With holy scriptures in your hands
The lord for whom you beg forgiveness
Cast no eyes upon this land
It is we who come to save you, now take my hand
Cast down that which enslaves you
And denounce all that you have been taught
Sacrifice the scripture and forget the holy names
With fire and blasphemy you will be born again!

Archaic indoctrination spreads like a disease throughout all lands
Childish fables allowed to flourish in the minds of man
With twisted brains overflowing with prejudice and hate
Man-made god and god made man so who’s really to blame

Countless faiths and countless creators all so sure they’re right
Mankind is left to suffer the murder, hatred and plight
For this we demand a sacrifice to be made
Not of flesh and blood, but in ink and paper it must be paid

Countless faiths and countless creators all so sure they’re right
Mankind is left to suffer the murder, hatred and plight
For this we demand a sacrifice to be made
Not of flesh and blood, but in ink and paper it must be paid

Create a fire that will burn so bright
Sacrifice the scripture upon the Obsidian Shrine

Thousands of years have come and gone with no progress
Minds bound by faith, eternally suppressed
Buried in scripture, blinded by deceit
Studying the art of enslavement, authored by the elite

Neglecting carnal urges for the hope of paradise
Controlled, manipulated, tongues stuck in a vise
Force fed a fairy tale, brainwashing the youth
Worshipping, following, ignorant to the truth

Clinging to prophesied rewards upon death
Genocide, massacres, praising god till the last breath
Gripping the pages, oh how the words connive
Praying to god as if you were ever really alive

Free yourself of torment, of guilt, of regret
Sacrifice the scripture allow yourself to forget
Release yourself of dogmatic constraints
Renounce your savior and be truly born again

Down with the walls of Jerusalem
Expose the secrets of the Vatican
Publish what is hidden, all that’s held within

Annihilate mecca, set the Kaaba ablaze
Despoil every temple, every venue of praise
Wipe religion from the world without a trace

Approach the shrine
And free your mind
Of religious malignancies

Erase your faith
And embrace
Profligacy

Sacrifice the scripture
Cast down that which enslaves you
Sacrifice the scripture
Forget the holy names

Sacrifice the scripture
Cast down that which enslaves you
Sacrifice the scripture
Sacrifice the scripture
