1. Sword Of Faith

Immaculate, flawless pride
The accuser of their brethren has accused again
An unerring throw of guilt without sin...
To and fro, up and down.

Infallible, sovereign glory
O angelic serpent who filled the
breadth of the world with tyrants
– Come forth! Wash me in the
glare of thy shameless perfection.

Violent prayers, roaring psalms,
I have no voice but that of homage
for Thee, Yes, my doubt is an
open wound, yet my conviction
the salt within.

Sword of faith, breastplate of
rightousness, garments of
vengeance, locust and the helmet
of Salvation.

Naked splendour, pain divine,
each breath is a cry to be sifted,
sifted as wheat! Sifted as wheat!
Wood to the pyre, sifted as wheat!

Scorched lungs, solemn bene-
diction, I shall make mountains
bleed for thy holy mission.

Sword of faith, breastplate of
rightousness, garments of
vengeance, locust and the helmet
of Salvation.
...And he hath put a new song
in my mouth, even praise unto
our God: many shall see it, and
fear, and shall trust in the LORD!

2. White Stone

Numbered, weighed, and found wanting...

A white stone and a new name
at peace with the lord and
freed from blame, all debts remitted
thy souls washed clean
O glorious splendours of the rebirth.

...But that stone is a lump of coal
For thou had a whore's forehead
Thou refusedst to be ashamed.

A white stone and a new
name, restoring the years
that the locust have eaten, again
clean enough to speak his name,
oh happy vantage of a knee-
ling knee

...But that name is a ghost unseen
For thou hadst a whore's forehead
thou refusedst to be ashamed
Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin...
Thou refusedst to be ashamed.

Numbered, weighed, and found wanting...

A white stone and a new name
Thy lamp removed from the altar of shame
But that name is a ghost unseen
For thou hadst a whore's forehead
Thou refusedst to be ashamed.

3. Jesus Saves!

And I took my staff, even
Beauty, and cut it asunder...
Have you been into the fire?

Carved in stone or pissed in snow, the day will come!
The day will come!
A clean prayer from an unclean tongue,
There is no life here – only different ways to die
Motheaten vows of hollow pride,
Skin for skin, yea, skin for skin.
The wine of Sodom, Gomorrah's fields
Comespill now forth the poison of dragons in the name of God.

Chasm from chasm, Armageddon, Armageddon, Armageddon
A thousand angel jubilation, and upon this rock I will build my church

...And the sun of falsehood shall shine with trust,
From the depths of Satan in the name of God.

O sweetest wormwood, o glorious gall
Yes sweet is the fruit that grows from the tree of bitterness
The gall and the wormwood, the wormwood and the gall
A velvet kiss and a thousand knives of salt in thy cunt

And I took the sword and brandished it twice...
Have you fed the mother of death?

A clean prayer from an unclean tongue, this Guilt was old when the world was young
Still shall innocence be my sign, O LORD, why hast thou not forsaken me?
...And the sun of falsehood shall shine with trust
From the depths of Satan in the name of God

Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Drink now his blood, and kill in his name.
Let us pray, let us pray and prepare our snares for the promised day, Jesus saves!
Jesus saves! eat now his flesh, and inject the venom into his name.
A perfect wound from a perfect blade, the perfect deceit in a perfect world at the perfect day

4. A New Light

Tidal wave! blood and black, the second sinner dreams today...
Dying waters, pregnant darkness, and there will be strange events in the skies in the skies in the skies
"REVENGE!" the blood of Abel cries, I swallow the dust of a thousand deaths
In search for the word that can lay waste to the world.

My throat is a thousand open graves, thousand cataclysms, thousand open graves
Yes, I am the perfect image of God
Come hither, soul, I am the way!
Iure divino, I am the way!
Ecce signum, I am the way!
To both above and below, so then because thou art lukewarm
And neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth
Out of my Eden, into a world of gravity gone mad...
Thy famous pillars topyle, thy candlestick removed, thy roots are dried up.

A new sun, O golden Death!
The sons of the red earth must face our rays, sun of perdition
O dawn of ash, and there will be strange events in the skies in the skies in the skies
"AGAIN!" the blood of Cain replies
I swallow the dust of a thousand – deaths, in search for the word that can laye waste the world.

Now let thy blood speak unto the Lord "MY BLOOD IS SILENT!"
Cried the whore, I inhale the song of a thousand wounds, in search for Redemption.

5. Blessed Curse

Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body
And cursed shall be the fruit of thy land
Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in
And cursed shalt thou be when thou goes out.

And thou shall grope at noonday
As the blind gropeth in darkness
And thou shalt not prosper in thy ways
And thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore
And no man shall save thee.

The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high
And thou shalt come down very low
He shalt be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.

And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass
And the earth that is under thee shall be iron
The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust
From heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee,
Until he have consumed thee from off the land
Whither thou goest to possess it.
The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption
And with a fever, and with an inflammation,
And with an extreme burning,
And with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew;
And they shall pursue thee until thou perish
Because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.

6. Living Temples

Spill forth!

Kings shall fall... down before him, as the blood stiffens,
His praise all people sing: Spill forth thine respendence!
And let thy rampant Glory flow
Piercing light on blindness pour
Making us living temples of Thy Word
Living temples, living temples
Let every heart prepare a throne and every throat a brand new song.

To Him shall prayer unceasing, and daily vows ascend
On wings of murder still increasing, a kingdom without end.

Come then, let us hasten! and do his
Will with hearts aglow, kindled
Death on blindness pour
Making us living temples of the LORD.

Kingdom...without end.
Kings shall fall...down before
Him, as the blood stiffens, His praise all people sing:

Spill forth thine resplendence! and let thy rampant
Glory flow, piercing light on blindness pour, making us living temples of Thy Word.

Living temples, living temples.

Let every heart prepare a throne, and every voice a brand new song.

7. Anathema Maranatha

Lo! A new angel has come to spread his wings
A great swarm of plagues to collect our sins
Even now shall they surrender...
To the power of the dog

Sin and sinner, death and dying,
The many waters must be judged,
Flesh as straw as soil and soul,
All chained to the great great whore.

For more love than seraphs know,
We will live seraphs burn, deep
In bonds of miry clay, the many
Waters must be judged.

He shall suck the poson of asps!
The viper's tongue shall slay him!
He shall suck the poison of asps!
The viper's tongue shall slay him!
...and yes he shall fall among them that fall!

ANATHEMA MARANATHA!
ANATHEMA MARANATHA!
The Anathema is in the midst of thee
Let him be had in execration Maranatha
The Anathema is in the midst of thee
Let him be Anathema Maranatha!

Hell from beneath is moved to meet thee
Moved to meet thee at thy coming
It stirreth up the dead for thee
Even all the chief ones of the earth.

Hell is naked, naked before him
And destruction hath no covering
And yes, he shall fall among them that fall
For he hearest not the LORD!

For more love than seraphs know
We will like seraphs burn
Deep in bonds of miry clay
The many waters must be judged.

He shall suck the poison of asps!
The viper's tongue shall slay him!
He shall suck the poison of asps!
The viper's tongue shall slay him!
...and yes, he shall burn in the fires of rejection
For he hath gone a whoring from the LORD our GOD!

8. Anti-Flesh Nimbus

Build in me, O LORD!
And once again grant me Light, to fill this human void
Yes, chasten me with Sight!
I speak wounds, and my blood is a tune of Death
And my word shall devour flesh.

I slayed the lion to become him, I am HUNGER!
Anti-flesh nimbus...
I crush my eyes, to gain the sight of a god.

My heart is fixed, O LORD, and my veins are prepared
To receive thy venom, to channel thy glare
Mad with the overflow, I open my chest, and my word shall devour flesh.

The earth trembled and was silent, shook and stood still.

Anti-flesh nimbus...
I choke the human within
To gain the will of a god.
