Divine Agony
03:24
|
|||
Tortured by the divine
Our cryptic saviour has deceived us
Trapped in agony
Our cryptic saviour has deceived us
Our hands outstretched to the heavens
Beseeching an end to our torment
Our divine time for judgement
Our divine agony
Prayers ignored, unanswered
We suffer without reprieve
The scripture speaks in riddles
The path to redemption veiled
Misplaced confidence in false ideals
Sanity diminished by spiritual reliance
Clinging to our beliefs with failing strength
Last vestiges of hope slowly slipping away
The scripture speaks in riddles
The path to redemption veiled
The scripture speaks in riddles
Our cryptic saviour has deceived us
Without sustenance our faith decays
Disillusioned we backslide
Hands no more outstretched to the heavens
There is no end to our torment
No divine time for judgement
No divine consciousness
Only divine agony
Only agony

Scriptural Excretion
03:43
|
|||
Untouchable
Upon the pedestal of the supercilious
Casting judgement
Imposing guilt for a multitude of sins
Liar, bestowed of silver tongue
Who claims the representation
Of God amongst the mortal souls
Intercessor with hidden agenda
Peddling unscrupulously
Afterlife insurance for their souls
Lucrative and foolproof
Unable to be proven fraudulent
Deflecting questions
By implicating lack of faith
Imploring their confidence
Placating fears through deception
Untouchable
Upon the pedestal of the supercilious
Casting judgement
Imposing guilt for their sins
Perjurer, possessed of forked tongue
Falsifying his representation
Of Jehovah amongst the mortal souls
Narcissist with self-serving agenda
You are the transgressor with darkened heart
Hypocritical charlatan who abuses trust
Capitalizing on the naivety of the innocent
Exploiting the vulnerable who sought your guidance
Traitor to the doctrine you advocated
Message skewed through misinterpretation
Misaligned with human instinct
The congregation ascertain your intentions
Teachings discarded
In pursuit of the tangible
Their search for wholeness continues
Your hubris incites your undoing
The sheep become wolves
Robbed of your embezzlements
Stripped of your finery
Cast down from your pulpit of deceit
You become nothing

Degradation
03:10
|
|||
Worn down by illogical activity
Our resolve fractures irreparably
Brainless idiocies control the herd
Distractedly pursuing frivolity
Worn down by illogical activity
Our resolve fractures irreparably
Downtrodden by those in authority
Enforcing suffering to destroy harmony
Denied the essence of humanity
Reduced to subsisting in poverty
Frail and manipulated
Condemned to mediocrity
Independent thought disparaged
Uprising quashed ruthlessly
Frail and manipulated
Condemned to mediocrity
Independent thought disparaged
Uprising quashed ruthlessly
Downtrodden by those in authority
Enforcing suffering to destroy harmony
Denied the essence of humanity
Reduced to subsisting in poverty
Our once proud dwellings in ruins
Our garments little more than rags
Disease running rampant in squalor
Cloaked in the stench of failure
Hand in hand we are dismembered
Hand in hand we fall
Our strength in unity crumbles
Degradation consumes

Impaled Insignificance
03:47
|
|||
Moonlight gleams in the chill of night
Illuminating a barbaric horde amassing
Worshippers of the blood god seeking victims
Astride their stallions, driving their siege engines
Their neighbours gates shall fall beneath the onslaught
Slaughtering their champions, effortlessly conquering
Their very existence an insult to the warmongers
Dismayed by their own futility, their spirits broken
Meekly they surrender, resigned to their execution
Like a wave of plague decimating the lesser men
Raiding their coffers to sieze their treasures
Their whores raped and set ablaze for amusement
Children thrown to hounds, shredded for dogmeat
Their crest toppled, replaced with the head of their king
Terminated on stakes hewn roughly
Carved from the wreckage of their homes
Weeping kin dispatched beneath their feet
Twitching their last as impaled corpses drain
Stricken from the annals of history
The inferior race shall breed no more
Their bloodline scourged from the earth
Eradicated like disease spreading vermin
Beneath contempt, worthless, insignificant
Victims of sadistic puppet masters
A path placemarked by the slain
Their rigored hands point the way
Along a meandering trail of decay
A gruesome warning to their allies
Abandoned lands haunted by the spirits
Forever scarred by genocide

Fields of Banishment
02:53
|
|||
Deep in dismal realms of exile
Upon stakes suspend the banished
Skewered onto frameworks
Erected in desolate fields
Banished from the greatness they derided
They left this world victims to the ungodly
Indoctrinated with a miserable fallacy
Deep in dismal realms of exile
Upon stakes suspend the banished
Each face bears an agonized rictus
Skewered onto frameworks
Erected in desolate fields
Bloody pools pollute the earth
Tainting the ground beneath
Branded as pariahs
With impure souls
Denounced as heretics
In furtive whispers
Their names erased
Never again uttered
Their forgotten faces
Fading from memory
Now we also shall be shunned
Driven through the forbidden gates
Anguished we set forth
Through lands feared by the righteous
Blindly we follow the deceiver
His passage of impurity
Led us to this place
Led us toward bleakness
Led us to banishment

Monuments stand as malevolent trophies
Devoted to decaying cadavers
Revisiting a place of constant suffering
Decaying pillars shaped from human torsos
Ever-growing columns of deformed atrocities
Ever-growing columns of deformed atrocities
Designs of unnatural degradation
Construction of horrific mutilation
Amputated figures hang lifeless
Amputated figures hang lifeless
Monuments stand as malevolent trophies
Devoted to decaying cadavers
Decaying pillars shaped from human torsos
Ever-growing columns of deformed atrocities
Nailed, bound and carved, limbs wound, victims starved
Nailed, bound and carved, limbs wound, victims starved

Imprisoned Deformity
02:33
|
|||
We are the corrupted and deformed lifeforces of this wasteland
Cast into shackles of painful segregation
and split apart from human interaction
Kept from the righteous path and deprived of life
this violence has become our infatuation
Imprisoned in solid restraints we succumb to devastation
We succumb to devastation
We succumb to devastation
We will never see the light of day again
Hallucinations are our only friends
Now this empty space corrodes our being
Deformities lifeless
Lifeless and void of substance
Every creation and every cell manipulated
Imprisoned deformity

Monolithic Devastation
02:52
|
|||
Rumours of a distant effigy
Blasphemous to the name of the reigning deity
Defying the sacred rites of the almighty
Sacreligious obelisk worshipped blatantly
By those who reneged the hallowed vows of their ancestry
Defiled temples of the wayward children
Defiled temples of the wayward children
Feeding this abomination
The congregation of the dissolute
Ecstatic as hedonism dissolves morality
Unrestrained debauchery hastening mortality
Harvested before they can draw their final breath
Hoisted to the pinnacle in preparation
To assume their place atop their predecessors
Their corpses affixed in putrefying layers
Carnal offering to the expanding grandeur
Fervour of the zealots swells with indignation
Outnumbered they swarm to slay the impenitent
Meagre forces swiftly vanquished and captured
Lives sacrificed in oblation to the false messiah
Interwoven with the ones they sought to destroy

A construction for the divine
A sign of our praise
A sign of our praise
Cemented with the blood of its slaves
A morbid signal to the evil that reigns
Flesh encases a grim sculpture
An horrific stalactite
Headstone for a mass grave
A decrepit landmark solitary
Visible from the horizon
Built upon ceremonial grounds
Constructed by the herd
Through their suffering raised
A sign of our praise
A sign of our praise
With each blood offering it grows
A sacramental gesture for the end
Towering over the enfeebled
A chilling reminder of their imminent demise
Mesmerizing those who seek it
Fearful yet filled with fascination
The sculpture becomes the new divine
Adulated by idolators speaking falsehood
A sign of our praise
A sign of our praise
A sign of our praise
A sign of our praise
Beckoned to join those prostrated
Coerced through fear into devotion
Beckoned to join those prostrated
Coerced through fear into devotion
Forced to worship a barbaric memorial
Huddled beneath its lengthening shadow
