lyrics

Surmounting divinity - devastate
All who oppose our might.
Crushing, prevailing, defeating
Their icons trampled deep beneath

Souls full of loathing - hatred
Unfold a path of ruination
Seeking abolishment of their
Malevolent idolatry

Destroying what was once so pure
Now tainted by the blight of man
Dethroning you, the seers of lies
The righteous fall; a dogma despised.

A sanctum that once was of holiness
Is ravaged now and gone forever
(Their) doctrines of savagery are ripped and torn
Beheld as an abomination

Sodomized and lacerated - no sympathy for
Preachers of contemptuous nature
Writhing in the feculence of a veneration that
Sermonizes fabrication.

Abhorrence for a faith so false
Treacherous tongues are severed and burnt
Witness here this temple of deceit
No more shall we bow; their fall is nigh.

Tyrants, see them crawl
Cowering, groveling, bending unto our will
Scriptures of blasphemous ways
Forsaken, admonished, forever to burn in Hell

End of imperious reign
Topple their altars and celebrate agony.
Hail forth a cleansing dawn
Void of religion’s unyielding sycophants.

Rise
To dethrone
The pious
Righteousness now dead
Their hypocrisy
Now revoked
Sanctity is now quelled.
