Rending hacking tearing slashing Gnaw and rip your flesh apart Changing form and disappearing Into darkness they depart Sacrificed upon their alters Tribal ties are torn away Ancient magic utilized to stalk And torment human prey Wearing pelts upon their bodies They don't hide their wickedness Evil cults convene in darkness Stalking through the wilderness Violating all traditions Stealing minds and body parts Techniques used to paralyze They feast upon your beating Heart Alchemy and rituals Immortal, forsaken soul Violence and burning hate Blood red thirst to satiate Craving the taste Of human flesh Apex hunter Its appetite endless Doppelganger Shapeshifter Necromancer Skinwalker Rending hacking tearing slashing Gnaw and rip your flesh apart Changing form and disappearing Into darkness they depart Sacrificed upon their alters Tribal ties are torn away Ancient magic utilized to stalk And torment human prey
2.	Weaponized Faith 03:14	lyrics	buy track
Battle rages across the earth, as cities burn to dust Temples are raised unto the ground A violent god's command Marching forth for regicide A homicidal faith Set to dominate the world As free will is erased Mankind betrays mankind in violent division Heresy whispered into their starving ears Congregations of vile filth, religion of violence Urged to action by demagogue The masses roused to kill Marching forth to enslave clones, Of opposing faith Spill their blood and guts in the sand As lies begin to fade Mankind slaughters mankind, indoctrinated ignorance Blasphemy weaponized, instilling fear Kill Blind, sadistic intent Burn, suffer, repent Tearing the world asunder In pursuit of religious victory Commandments defied by man Deceased morality Battle rages across the earth, as cities burn to dust Temples are raised unto the ground A violent god's command Homicide! God denied! Make them die! Deicide
3.	Freedom Is Death 05:06	lyrics	buy track
Behold the mortal realm! Natural prison fabricated in a man made fucking hell I stand alone, and gaze forlorn upon the battlefield Existence meaningless until we are six feet underground Entrenched upon the earth Look to the heavens and the sky Each breath a step towards liberation Knowing we are born to die Immortal fantasies will not survive the decay of your mind From conception, our woven fate we cannot defy Watch the faces of the young They're starving in this dying world Massacred without bloodshed Dead, yet still alive Faceless men of avarice They force our kind to kill for scrap Absolved of the financial murder Bone, bare, lifeless Trudge through darkness Begging for our lives to end to ease our mortal pain Freedom! Is Death! Dead! Buried! Free!
4.	Christ Lobotomy 05:15	lyrics	buy track
Ascending upon the heavens To reap cataclysmic torment Ascend upon his light To lobotomize the mind of Jesus Christ Exterminating angels, causing heaven's fall Dispelling hidden intentions for all Fictitious books that corrupt human minds Consciously planting these diminished lies The heavens are red, drowning in agony Severed angel heads impaled on...spears of blasphemy Infernal thrones fabricated with soulless meat Christ's smashed skull rests under my feet While hell born vultures circle the souls of the weak Awaiting Hell's command This is God's final stand Usurp omnipotence Exert my dominance Suffocate the spawn of Christians' god and obliterate the garden of eden Lucifer, lord of all humanity Bow before him, on your knees I shall serve Him Outcast, lord of Hell Etched into human history when The god of murder fell This is the Christ lobotomy Lobotomize your false savior And filet him alive
5.	Phantoms 04:00	lyrics	buy track
Hate, bitter hate I loath my own reflection Failure staring back at me Liquid suicide will burn the pain away Hastening the path To my grave Chase away the phantoms of my past Temporary solace never lasts Screaming for my imminent demise Look at me through the devil's eyes Self inflicted pain I can hear your voice Your face is staring back at me Memories of you Kill me everyday To the bottle I become enslaved Poison vomit erupts From my mouth as I Collapse in self disgust Begging myself to die
