Excommunication

Lyrics by Nolan Horine.
Stretched wide the gates to our exile shine with embellished and ornate design for no longer shall we be confined by the wretched and fraudulent
From his grace we depart not displaced but absolved of the chains that we bore and the weight we endured
Searing drought rotting plagues years without bronzen'd rays
Deafened by gods invoked and the prayers that we choked through our teeth
Embedded with great care
Embraced in a frayed veil
Emblazoned and kept frail
The dusts of our past encrust the great mask untouched and undashed, from which the gaze of our captor is cast
Severed from heaven as we wept for our sons
Toward infinite silences and beyond what has been known
Eternally gestating underneath the tumor we cultivate grows and grows
yet still remains unseen, desperately consuming anything that has intersected with its infectious path (blegh)
Fed by the churning of love into ashes bereft of all guilt or compassion
Its fountainous scourge everlasting
and brimming with ominous depth, unquantified
Etched, scribed, the curse has been stained on our mind
Left to search for a cure to this blight that has all but extinguished the light which had shielded and guided us

Lyrics by Ryan Ensign.
Holy, Blessed Armour
Faith Is The Strongest Shield
Crush The Non-Believers
Drain Their Blood In The Name Of God
Reading! Preaching!
Heretic, Blasphemer, Grand Idol Worshipper
Killing! Burning! Raping! Maiming!
Spilling Blood, Dumping Guts, Breaking Bones, Tearing Limbs
Screaming! Dying!
Silencing, Enemies, A Decree, Fierce Melee
Hacking! Slashing! Chopping! Stabbing!
Faithful Throngs, Rampage Forth, Tear A Path
Of Ruin In Their Wake
I Am
Annointed In
Blood Of
Naysayers
Riding Into Battle
Devine Weapons Bite Through Flesh
Christ Commands Conquest
Cannot Stop TIll Their All Dead
By The Power Vested In Me By Pope Urban The Second
He Who Hears The Word Directly From The Lord, Our God Himself
Go Forth Retake The Holy Land, Kill All Those Who Do Oppose
Show No Mercy, May God Have Mercy On Their Souls

Lyrics by Trevor Hall.
Bow..... Bow before me!
Pray! Pray unto me!
Suffer! Suffer through me!
Die! Die for me!
welcome to my dream
darkness forever seen
salvation lies with me
come forth and you will see
a mental maze of torture
inspect the pain much closer
take my hand and suffer
Ill Fill your mind with gruesome wonders!
bow (feel my eyes run through you)
Pray (my fear will paralize you)
Suffer (Feel my pain flow through you)
Die (my holy crimes consume you)
Bow (come forth and praise my glory)
Pray (your worthlessness propells you)
Suffer (live your life blind and senceless)
Die (strip the flesh from this planet)

Irrelevant Man Of God

Lyrics by Spencer Halstead.
For sake the light
and bring the death
Of this holy hell
In which we have
turned our heads above all ignoring, crushing they will die
They've brought us to this point in our lives
now we will retaliate
souls, they are screaming - far out to me
remind me of what they violated
Forcefully breaking into their revered lands
'Thy will be done unto you'
posioning, depleting your prosperity
These Christans
they influence a
mislead state of mind
for they shall write, demise, ending in their failure pray for god
I will see, to it, that you
drown in blood
hang your corpse
for them all to see and I WILL BE
THE ONE TO CLEANSE, true heretic
and dethrone the irrelevant, piece of shit
They've brought us to this point in our lives
now we will retaliate
souls, they are screaming - far out to me
remind me ov what they violated
My eyes have seen, Victory
In the form of Heresy
Disfigured bodies lay next to me
though this bloodshed has been not for nigh
"thy will be done unto you"
this much was true
mangled and grisly
your body looms
the public looks on, the horror!
they will see the truuuth
for what you were
Courrupt, Helpless, Inept Fabricator
I will see, to it, that you
drown in blood
hang your corpse
for them all to see and I will be
THE ONE TO CLEANSE, true heretic
and dethrone the irrelevant
Man Of God

Lyrics by Spencer Halstead
THE LIES OF THE CRUCIFIX
LIES OF THE CRUCIFIX
For he is a holy man
Surely he’ll be coming back
ABANDONED WORLD
NO WORDS EXPLAINED
Simply to entertain
THE LIES OF THE CRUCIFIX
Following his blind word
Claiming that you'll be saved
Spoken tongue, putrid creed
Truth is that your all enslaved
THE
LIES OF THE CRUCIFIX
ABANDONED WORLD
A SLAVE TO HIS NAME
We all have been Forsaken
Traces here now laid in ash
Was he here or was he not?
Simple minds, manipulate
Tables turned toward their own wealth
Estranged path, that I will take
Left behind stuck in its
hell
We, won’t, serve,
for, this, false
Deity
He does not,
control me
THE LIES OF THE CRUCIFIX
THE LIES OF THE CRUCIFIX
LIES OF THE CRUCIFIXION
DIE FOR THE CRUCIFIX
Following his blind word
Claiming that you’ll be saved
Spoken tongue, putrid creed
Truth is that you're all
ENSLAVED
ABANDONED WORLD
Only to
Die in vain
