Salt of the Land
04:35
|
|||
Bastard people, breed and die
Distrusting, disgusting sheep begging for the slaughter
Incapable of real thought, can’t see past the ends of your nose
Claiming that you know God’s will, a laughable farce at best
Your God is not here today
He was never here at all
All of your efforts are empty
You’re still going to die forever
No amount of insistence will make him exist
No amount of singing or crying out his names
There are no beautiful hosts in heaven
Oblivion is all you’ll find on the other side
So in the end you’re just pretending
Getting dressed every week for church
Getting high on endorphins, and calling them Jesus
Mass psychosis you refer to as the holy ghost

Monolith
04:24
|
|||
Given from the heavens
Descended from the sky
Worship the object
You do not understand
Thousands of years pass
And people pray to an empty sky
Worship the sun and deny it
Never knowing they honor a copy
Mithra and Horus came before
Amon Ra the ancient god of Egypt
Common thinking worships the weak god
Fall on your knees in humble supplication

Doing the Devil's Work
03:57
|
|||
Come inside this place of damnation
Redemption will never rear its head here
The violence these walls have seen
The blood stains too deep to ever come clean
There is no stronger magic than direct defiance of God
In carnal wickedness, satisfying my own will
My mind is bent on suffering and torture
The voices in the walls screaming for me to kill
Hell bent for bringing death
I only live to mutilate the living
Turning beauty into ugliness
Making screaming mouths never scream again
I am a man of my own will
But it brings me such pleasure
I am the Devil
And I am here to do the Devil’s work
There is no stronger magic than direct defiance of God
In carnal wickedness, satisfying my own will
My mind is bent on suffering and torture
The voices in the walls screaming for me to kill

Judgement for All
04:28
|
|||
You were brought into this world to be tested and tortured
To see if you can take the pain, to be worthy to be judged
To serve an almighty god who never shows his face
And if your faith should fail, you will burn in hell for your disgrace
So give unto the church your money and your time
Serve unto hypocrisy that they may grow fat and bloated
Wickedness incarnate under your nose you cannot smell
You’d better fall in line or else you’ll wind up in hell
Such conviction and nothing based on fact
They’d sooner kill you than question themselves
They pretend to bring the word of a loving god
And all they bring is judgement for all
Holding onto scriptures they think predict the end
But your apocalypse is just a bullet away my friend
The grip of your control slips further every day
And they’re just itching for a holy war to make us pay

The storm over the water
Waves crashing against the rocks
Forces of beauty and chaos
Invokes something ancient and primeval
The rain strips pretention away
The cold robs the mind of intention
Retreating back to the shadows
Trying to escape what cannot be run from
No amount of distance will liberate from the echoes
No amount of wandering will allow such sweet escape
Calling out to me
Haunting my dreams
The agony so searing
Though the flesh has long since healed

Babylon
06:14
|
|||
What ancient secrets whispered
At the twilight in the hanging gardens
A thriving people, powerful and fierce
The echoes of doom on the winds of time
Hail to Dagon, dragon king on high
Failure to recognize, punishable by death
An eye for and eye, wrong for wrong
Order brought with the edge of the blade
Babylon
The lost empire
Babylon
Buried under time
We know the Semitic peoples damned them as heathens
They warred fiercely, but the ancient city fell
And with their silenced voices, so went ancient secrets
A path forgotten, lost in the ether

Creavit Daemonia
06:30
|
|||
Suffer to thee to come unto me
Unintentional authors
Apply unto me the torture to be
The tool of my descent
Fallacious accounts of demonic acts
Sewn with fear and worry
While wishing to teach of the angels in heaven
You have shown me the way to hell
Ticking clockwork
Reinforced obedience
Only enforced by a lie
Only perception of malediction
Creates the need for a cure
So bring me fire
I will show you Gehenna
In the valley of Hinnom
I will show you sorrow
Ascending steps soaked in blood
I will give you your apocalypse
I will show you the end
Cast out into the wind
Born of my own will
Into the wilderness
I wandered lost
13 years and I will never return
The wastelands taught me strength
I have seen the strong fall
I will see the stronger fall yet
Carefully the lie fed
Taught with gentleness and care
You would not bite the hand that loves
There are things out there in the dark
Hungry things with teeth and claws
So stay where you’re told here in the light
Pay no attention to the jaws

Breath quickens against a pounding heart
Corruption breathed into the lungs bringing on disdain
Trivial luxuries enhance the false façade of safety
Weapons lay in secret; death remains a silent whisper
There are no more hands to save them, falling through the cracks
Slipping into eternal darkness, back into the black
Endless stillness
Aware but unalive
Physical blasphemies carried out with swiftness
The sickening sounds of the last few moments
Wicked in the eyes of God, monster in the eyes of man
Blood stained stones hide horrors long forgotten
Echoes of slaughter
Unceasingly watching

In Darkness Majestic
04:58
|
|||
Esoteric rumors told behind closed doors
Hints toward certainty, but no one says the name
Fortune fails for every man, destiny betrays
But I’ve looked through the shadows and I know who’s waiting
Hela
Nirriti
Lilith
The ancient one
You hear her calling at the end of your life
That subtle whisper urging you to let go
Kings and queens and savages of the wild
All come to her in majestic darkness
You don’t need to believe to see her in the end
The other side of the coin, forever hidden behind the curtain
Channels of fate, walking us through our steps
But when the strings are cut we all go back to her

Catharsis
04:20
|
|||
A cold walk home on a night I can’t forget
The screaming in my mind against the noise of the rain
In just a moment a person’s life can change forever
In just a moment it can end
There is no point in grieving your mistakes
Lying there in the dark in a pool of blood
The folly of fools to provoke that which they did not understand
And now they’ve paid the price, and now so will I
And now I wait for the authorities to arrive
Miles away from the scene of the horror
In the dark again, here all alone
Do I regret it, or do I feel satisfied?
They will parade me through the streets
And gawk at me the monster which I am
I place the barrel up to my temple
Fucking waiting, and fuck this shit
