RELIGIOUS INFECTION
05:06
|

Religious Infection
They are lost, lost in their lives, abandoned by friends, cast away
Left behind, disinherited and ruined, there appears to be no escape
Escape from the grievous reality, where all has fell apart
They yearn for facile rescue, they are now ready to convert
Collapsed into despair and gloom
For they lost what they held most dear
But they refuse to see
That the doing was their own
Deprived of their will they let
The disease to spread and corrupt their minds
And then they simply fall
Into snares that were long set
As a herd of calves with unpretentious
Spirits they roam around and await a shepherd to come
To lead the way, to show them to their barns
To feed them comforting lies and fill their weakened hearts
In deepest fear, they show who they are
And blindly follow anyone
Collapsed into despair and gloom
For they lost what they held most dear
But they refuse to see
That the doing was their own
Deprived of their will they let
The disease to spread and corrupt their minds
And then they simply fall
Into snares that were long set
In hardest times, when all is lost
When plague, war and hunger strike
The weakness awakes and determination dies
With illusion of effortless deliverance herdsmen arise

THE GREATEST DECEPTION
06:40
|

The Greatest Deception
Torn to pieces, the end draws near
Sorrow not! Wipe your tears
They await with open arms
"Come!" they call, "Come to us!"
What you have lost, we will give you twice
What you fear, will vanish from your life
What makes you insecure, will become your strong side
What you always desired, you will now receive
But if your eyes still see, we will make them blind
Greater satisfaction you can never find
Than to kneel down and to praise our god
To your newfound religion you will be confined
Forget all your hardships and overflow with joy
Leave behind your misery and rejoice in the "Lord"
Ignorance is happiness, etch that in your memory
Do not ask, do not urge, walk your given road
It is the greatest gift, you only have to accept
It is the one thing, that you've been always looking for
The one thing, which you have missed within your soul
To be ruled, to be led, to be part of something more
Keep in mind, that this is what you chose
With your free will, to regain what you've lost
Purpose of life, direction of your steps
Just listen and comply with the edicts you will get
But if your eyes still see, we will make them blind
Greater satisfaction you can never find
Than to kneel down and to praise our god
To your newfound religion you will be confined
You should listen only to the wisdom of your own flesh
For god is like a physician who has the plague himself
Now too late it is to change your fate
You've accepted simple life, to obey and serve

ENFORCED DISCIPLINE
06:34

Enforced Discipline
One ordinance wasn't enough for them and their rotten faith
To create a greater dependency, they came with more and more commands
Under the disguise of redeeming your spirits
As weeds and vermin grow in untilled ground which now spreads all around
Sin and vices grow in idle and untilled heart
It must be sowed with discipline and restrictions of any kind
Since only then you can reap a harvest of glory for your god
But their intentions
Were completely different
From what their baldly proclaimed
They didn't care to help
They didn't care to preach
They didn't care to enlighten
They only wanted you
To restrain and deny
Your very own personality
Join your new family of brothers and sisters
Forget what you've learned, begin the life of penance
Through hard labor and poverty you shall
Abandon your attachments to your ego and wealth
One ordinance wasn't enough for them and their rotten faith
To create a greater dependency, they came with more and more commands
Under the disguise of redeeming your spirits
Now it is time, for you to swear an oath
Of discipline and obedience, of stability and silence
Pray and work, converse your manners
Purity of soul will be your divine reward
Obliterate your memories, your aims and your thoughts
Purge your old self and be reborn

DIE FOR YOUR GOD

Die For Your God
Die for your god!
Obsessed and absorbed by fabricated laws
Die! Die for your god! Die for your god! Enter the void and turn into dust
No heaven awaits for there is none, you will be left to rot
You cannot ever find what you have sought
Die! Die for your god! Die for your god! Enter the void and turn into dust
No heaven awaits for there is none, you will be left to rot
Die! Die for your god!
Into a web of lies you have been caught
Die! Die for your god! Die for your god! Enter the void and turn into dust
No heaven awaits for there is none, you will be left to rot
As a disgusting worm in the mud you crawl before their authority
Die! Die for your god!
Overwhelmed by all the glory and fake vows
You forgot who you are
Transformed into slave who cannot see, hear or think
As if you'd be drowning in tar
Dazed by flimsy glitter that never shines
But casts dark, foul shadows
Oblivious to reason, freed from sanity
You turn your thoughts into prayers
Die! Die for your god!
Die! Die for your god! Die for your god! Enter the void and turn into dust
No heaven awaits for there is none, you will be left to rot
Shivering with fear as a reed you tremble before their sovereignty
Die! Die for your god!
Weak as decaying vine your mind twists around their ideology
Die! Die for your god! Die for your god! Enter the void and turn into dust
No heaven awaits for there is none, you will be left to rot

FANATICAL WORSHIP
07:23
|

Fanatical Worship
Searing fire and countless numbers of sparks
Burned them in their eyes, as they stood and watched the blaze
Anguished voices, echoed to vast distance
So holy were their intents, yet so ruthless were their tasks
Fat of their vile bodies shall melt in fire
There is no peace for the wicked until they are purged
Alongside busy paths corpses were found nailed to the trees
Lifeless limbs hanging down, incinerated, moving in the breeze
Cruel deeds committed by
Self-appointed inquisitors who are entirely consumed by zeal
Ye poor sinners, behold your doom
Your weak hearts, that's where the Devil dwells
You embraced the Evil, now embrace the flames
Your confessions are written, no matter if they're true
Ye poor sinners, behold your doom
Your weak hearts, that's where the Devil dwells
You embraced the Evil, now embrace the flames
Your confessions are written, no matter if they're true
Bonfires, hundreds of stakes rise like a forest before every city
Convicts in lines await their deaths
Without any restraints they execute the ones
Who didn't convert, to earn a place in paradise

THE DOCTRINE FALLS
04:30
|

The Doctrine Falls
They thought they have won, that their rule is strong
That no one could oppose their true religion
But with a great pride comes a great fall
Nothing can be forever controlled
The thick fog of deceit began to fade
Zeal disappeared but their victims remained dead
With horror they started to realize
That what they did cannot be undone
Some of the believers started to doubt
If what they did, if it was just
Devout followers of their god
Began to see, they were no longer blind
They gathered and rushed to their shrine
In a desperate attempt they started to chant
"Hear us lord, give us a sign
Set us on the right path"
No answer came, barren were the skies
Gone were their priests, they were nowhere to be found
There is no divine power, redemption is a lie
They were led astray by their lust for god
The thick fog of deceit faded away
Zeal disappeared but their victims remained dead
With horror in their eyes they realized
That their doctrine was nothing but false
Followers became apostates
Trying to forget who they were
Haunted with nightmares for the rest of their lives
Torment and sorrow was their reward

DEATH IS THE LAW
06:44
|

Death Is The Law
Shrines, temples and churches
Are no more the places of reverence
Nothing but gaping emptiness
Is left from their former radiance
Vanished has their erstwhile glory for good
Crumbling are their solid immense walls
Sacrosanct symbols in all their sainthood
Warp and decay in hollow ruined halls
Howling beasts now roam around
The places that swarmed with worshippers
They wait for the few that remained devout
To satiate their bloodthirst
There is only one real law, that applies to all living things of the Earth
What grows will wither and what lives will die, to the soil from which they're made they will return
Faith will not grant you eternal life in heavens, that is just fiction and falsity
You cannot achieve what doesn't exist, neither with purity nor austerity
Death is no gateway, there's just oblivion, the blackest void is the afterlife
There's no spirit, it's just flesh and bones, your whole body will putrefy
Earthquakes and lightning, floods and storms
Hurricanes, fires and frost
Forces of nature rule the world
It's chaos in its pure form
The frail shall perish, the strong shall prevail
There is no place for weakness in life
Conquer your pain, leave regrets behind
And take control of who you are
