GOSPEL OF DEVILMENT

Spit the blood
It tastes of God
Putrid with
His guilty shit
Less than all
Before the fall
Foot the bill
Of empty will

No one thought to look for the hounds
Deep in burial shrouds
The wolves come out to howl
At cemeteries underground

Drive the stake
Into the grave
Hearts denied
Heavenly crimes
Plastered stains
Of blood drenched dreams
Til the last
With shotgun blasts

Blind my eyes, I don’t want to see
What has been done to me
Gasp as I die inside
As all my scars are brought to light

Touch the cross and go away empty
For God is here and Hell is home
The black abyss is full of plenty
Of broken skulls and crossbones

I’ve walked along well beaten paths
Beside vengeance and wrath
Numbed by the laws of man
I’ve stepped off to walk with the damned

Curse the skies
That God denies
I abhor
With piss and scorn
Always said
Long live the dead
I envy
Those so empty

Touch the stars the devil conceived
For God is dead and Hell is home
Crucify angels that I deceived
With broken skulls and crossbones

Because I cannot relate to sheep
Any fucking day in deprived sleep
I wish I could dream of killing you
In iron maidens and with thumbscrews
Don’t preach to me, the devil relieves
All of the doubts born of your beliefs
Because somewhere deep within your heart
There’s secret songs that tear you apart

Turn the screws
Deeper in you
Agony
And misery
Echo screams
Of haunted dreams
The despair
Of my nightmares

Sew my lips, I don’t dare to speak
The words you dare to seek
They’re more than mere laments
But a gospel of devilment

Touch the cross and go away empty
For God is here and Hell is home
The black abyss is full of plenty
Of broken skulls and crossbones
Touch the stars the devil conceived
For God is dead and Hell is home
Crucify angels that I deceived
With broken skulls and crossbones
