- - - UNHOLY REVERENCE - - -


Speak the demon’s name
A secret word on serpent tongues
Unholy reverence
Brimstone burning like vile incense
Seraphim fallen upon cold steel
When murders of crows
Fly beneath a sky made of stone

But I will recreate
This wasteland in my own image
Offer me another
Sacrificial lamb to slaughter
I will stand upon the recent dead
When Hell opens wide
Unleashing horrors on the Earth

The hour of damnation draws near
The last drop of blood will fall

Strip away the flesh
That tethers the soul to the meat
Behold, gore drenched gallows
Justify your godless antics
Miles of pale skin carved with pentgrams
Stretch across highways
Paved with the skulls of innocents

There will be no salvation for you
Because your god doesn’t care

Lacerated God
And bring Him to his knees
Witness His failure
The slaughter is mercy
Breaking the will of
Cattle led to guillotines
