lyrics

Altar Of Destruction

Buried deep beneath
The fallen cities
And tombs of death
The rotting flesh of the shamed
Sanctums of the chosen
Where free notion is tantamount to blasphemy
Indoctrinated are the unholy

The education
Lessons learned of infamy
Born to live within imposed reality
The obsession with death and life's saviour
Sanguinary judgement day of anger

We've sanctioned murder
It's your civic pride
Claim the life of a brother
Tyranny applauding
Fighting evermore
Benefactors hold no bias
Perpetuating war

Portents of impending doom
The honest gather to awaken the meek
A small voice among the clamour of sheep
Reject the word
Oust the pariah

The masses sated with barely a quail
Divided and taken away
Herded with meagre protest

No ... NO ...

This is the culmination of all our efforts
Toward the new world peons
Conform
And assimilate
It is the time of prophecy
Now, march into war and fulfil our destiny
Yes ... YES ...
Fight on
I revel in your strength and unerring piety for this cause
Be diligent in your efforts

Murderous dreams
An evil possession
A prayer, immersed in fantasy
Mercenaries rewarded in hell
Born of the ones
They were trained to kill
Servile cretins
A purpose served
Then methodically slain

Upon the surface
Anomalies arise
Mutations inherit the barren earth
The chosen live entombed
Prophecy fulfilled
Inception from the altar of destruction

Blood, sleeting red, claiming souls, total death
Pain, butchery, lacerations tearing flesh
(Faith)
Second sight
(Birth)
Unforgotten holy belief
Eugenically
Baptised in the blood of the dead
