Death of the First Born
03:36
|
|||
Rapture’s end
Wrath of sacrifice
In exodus
Innocence
Consumed by the sins of genesis
Countless slain
Divine consequence of the enslaved
Reckoning comes
In the death of the first born son
None spared
None spared
In the whims of destruction
Ten plagues convicting the masses
All are indebted in the bones of the first born son
Rapture’s end
Wrath of sacrifice in exodus
Innocence
Consumed by the sins of genesis
Countless slain
Ten plagues
Convicting the masses
Ten plagues
To realize catharsis
Requiring the pharaoh’s first born son
First born son

Lineage

Walk through the bloodline
Pulsing through ancestor's veins
Trace the legacy back to the precursor's age
From their ashes we're forged
In a cast iron hearth to bring forth a new era
To follow the footsteps of those
Usurpers of plebeian thrones
Sharpening the blade on a stone
Release impurities of bone
Imbued in firescale - I
Walk through the bloodline
Pulsing through ancestor's veins
Trace the legacy back to the precursor's age
From their ashes we're forged
In a cast iron hearth to bring forth a new era
Sculpted from statue's flesh
Testament to the raw earthen elements
(x2)
Trace the legacy
Back to the precursor's age
To follow the footsteps of those
Usurpers of plebeian thrones
Trace the legacy
Back to the precursor's age
Back to the precursor's age

Dichotomy
02:40
|
|||
Moral dissection
The dichotomy of man
Seeking to transcend the vices binding us to mortal land
Purge
Purge
The interest of self -
Altruism holds the weight of the proletariat
Atlas of ethics
Relinquish the inferior
From our broken necks
Moral dissection
The dichotomy of man
Contains Cartesian decay of the will
I think therefore I kill

The Pendulum
04:24
|
|||
Dissolve -
The natural order in the motions of the thurible and fog
Seeping through their skulls
The gas collecting in the pews into pustulent tumors
Rise, with the harvesting of innocent lives
Rise, as the masses contort and write
Skin splits over festering wounds
On the hands of the crooked-spined
Assembly of fog corrodes order in the anomolous path of the pendulum
The gas collecting in the pews into pustulent tumors
They rot from their entrails and out of their mouths
To propagate the masses
To stain fog with blood
The pendulum swings out of sync -
When worshiping the warped
The sanctuary rots into the ground
Foundations of oak corrode from inside out
Dissolve
The natural order in the motions of the thurible and fog
Seeping through their skulls
They rot from their entrails and out of their mouths
To propagate the masses
To stain fog with blood

Consecration
03:25
|
|||
His blistered hands
Clenching splinters of the working class
Inflamed by humble servitude
Infected by a simple doctrine
For he plows
The drought stricken fields resurrecting the grains for consecration
He is the hollowed shell of a man
Siphoned of blood
For the body of Christ
Dying vicariously
Through the worship of vice
Infected by a simple doctrine
Siphoned of blood he stands forever in the shadow
Of consecration
Siphoned of blood, a hollow shell
Dying vicariously
He stands forever

Ascension
03:39
|
|||
He enslaves himself
With a deontic lens
Indentured servant to the whims of Virtue
Perpetuated with the ideal forms
Prophetic misconception
Elevate that which cannot be attained
He seeks ascension to the grave
He enslaves himself
With a deontic lens
Indentured servant to the whims of Virtue
Perpetuated with the ideal forms
Prophetic misconception
Elevate that which cannot be attained
He seeks ascension to the grave

Omnipotence
Enter the problem of evil
Wickedness drips from the tongues
Of his own creations
Misinformation
Benevolence
Resounding the hymns of impoverished
Suffering in filth
Created in his image
Omniscience
A world torn asunder by ignorance
Ravaged by falsehood
Omnipotence
Yet wickedness drips from the tongues
Of his own creations
Omniscience
Benevolence
Omnipotence
Why call him god
