- - - THE ORDER OF GASH - - -

"We have such sights to show you."  
 
On the fiery steps of  
Lucifer's cathedral  
Eager masses gather for Him  
Draped in chains and black leathers  
Infernal faces answer the call  
Torment awaits for those  
With the blood of the Seraphim  
 
"The suffering of strangers, the agony of friends. There is a secret song at the center of the world and its sound is like razors through flesh."  
 
We are the order of Gash  
Lord Lucifer's chosen  
The blessed and the damned alike  
Modify broken bodies  
Taint the lamb's blood and dip it in sin  
Along the trail of bones  
The Hell Priest claims flesh that's ripe  
 
"The beauty of suffering."  
 
Suffer in denial  
As the chains rip the flesh  
Invigoration  
When pain becomes pleasure  
The lamentations  
Are the songs we treasure  
The congregation  
Yes, we are indeed, of the  
Configuration  
 
When your paltry God wept  
Upon the cross, blood stained  
Bitter tears did more than suffice  
Suffering the sweet sorrow  
We revel in agony and pain  
Behold glorious sin  
Those fortunate to pay the price  
 
"The box... you opened it, we came."  
 
Splendor and denial  
As the chains rip the flesh  
Invigoration  
When pain becomes pleasure  
The lamentations  
Are the songs we treasure  
The congregation  
Yes, we are indeed, of the  
Configuration  
 
Alas, we are the damned  
Blessed to taste desire  
Every inch of tainted flesh  
All the way to the marrow  
We were baptized within the fire  
Behold glorious pain  
Maggots crawl just beneath the mesh  
 
... of virgin skin ...  
 
"But please, feel free, explore. We have eternity to know your flesh."  
 
Savor the denial  
Holy experience  
No intervention  
By hollow deities  
The lamentations  
They are the songs we bleed  
The congregation  
Yes, we are indeed, of the  
Configuration  
 
Suffer in denial  
As the chains rip the flesh  
Invigoration  
When pain becomes pleasure  
The lamentations  
Are the songs we treasure  
The congregation  
We will watch indeed as the  
Configuration  
 
Tears your soul apart
