1. ACT OF ATTRITION

Father forgive me for I have sinned.
A penance for my sins, I can't accept this.
Sacrament of the mass, order of the ordained priest.
A faith in god and his church.
Laws of god follow them blindly.
Illusions of the Pentecost borders a forsaken Christ.
Promise to rise from death, join with him.
He shall reign in everlasting life.
Repent, I shall not be saved, unworthy god.
Nammoh, begotten son, I renounce my faith.
Baptized in a catholic church a choice I did not make.
Forgiveness is not that what I seek.
A grandeur of illusions, act of attrition.
Condemned is the fate of the church.


2. THE REBIRTH OF AZAZAL

Calling to Azazal,
Crawling back through the darkest depths of time.
Form an ancient maze, use forgotten paths, bring to life.
Rise.
In an act of rage.
To a calling.
Use the names of power.
Invoke upon Adrien.
Evoke upon his name.
Summon to life again.
Celebrate rebirth.
For creatures found not fit to live on Earth.
Fall onto your knees, hacking off your head.
Breeding faith through fear.
Calling to a god of lies.
Excrement relive calling, calling.
Cast upon this force at will,
As you deny that what you feel is real.
But still the left hand path you choose is clear.
Can you restore a fate that man has sealed.
Await the rebirth.
The rebirth of Azazal,
In celebration of the goat of Menendez.


3. COWERING MESSIAH

Crucify, the pilot said under them.
Behold your king, this Jesus of Nazareth.
Claim him, as your saviour.
Martyred.
In the name of pagan laws,
The scourging, the scars of humiliation.
Impaled as a king, the solitude of excommunication.
Claim him, as your saviour martyred in the name of pagan laws.
Follow me, you will live forever.
Prove your worth supposed son of god.
A self proclaimed king of the Jews.
A trial he will lose.
Convicted as a common thief.
Sentenced for his crimes, found guilty.
Visions of malice, deceit, so vile is his image to me.
Destined to be banished from Earth.
Raises the questions of his birth.
A cowering messiah is dead, to him I shall repent.
To a traitor upon a cross, for whom his life is lost?
Not me!


4. NAILED TO THE CROSS

Two thousand years dismay abiding his return.
Fulfillment of the prophecy, rise once more.
Reclaim what's yours, resurrect the most faithful witness.
Servant of the dead, whom walks among the souls of men, in fear of a god.
Repent.
Ocstracized.
For its gods will.
Nailed to the cross.

[Solo: Kerry]

Nailed to the cross.
Why?
A sacrifice for man has sinned, he must die.
I curse my fate.
I don't believe your chosen faith denied.
Will you ever know the pain inflicted that is felt.
Learn to bear this crown of thorns.
Nailed to the cross.
Nailed to the cross.


5. BAPTISMAL RITE TO DEIFY

Gift of the host, body of Christ, abstained from sin.
Drink blood that is wine, for this I cleanse.
Why?
Did he die for me.
The catholic church. full of lies.
Hypocrisy.
Blessed by a priest, are you saved?
Should you give praise to a god that has failed.

[Solo: Kerry]

Lies.
Baptismal rite to deify.
To become a god.
I'm purified. (x4)

[Solo: Steve]


6. SHRINE OF DESECRATION

The existence of god will you ever know?
Abandon your faith for your god has failed you.
God has failed.
As the catholic priest concludes that his god is dead.
In solitude lies abandonment and emptiness.
The catholic renounces his christian faith.
Despises Christ and all who bear his name.
Pathetic is the coward who hides behind the cloth.
The sanctum of the church becomes your albatross.
The ancient lure.
Transcribed down through centuries.
The magic rites adorn the magician priest.
We congregate, annointing the sacred host.
The lambs of god, the father, the son and the holy ghost.
Pathetic is the coward who hides behind the cloth.
The sanctum of the church becomes your albatross.
God has failed.
Recite the scriptures, the rite of passage.
As above, so below, the chant reveals, despite the cost we stand to use the knowledge gained.
So rise, challenged is the throne, unguarded are the gates.
As above, so below, the chant reveals, despite the cost we stand to use the knowledge gained so writhe.
In the image of your god, the debauchery of Christ.
The raping of your church.
Apostasy for desecration.
Shrine of desecration.
An ancient mark revealed.
In stone upon a talisman.
Abolish readings of scriptures, their false passages.
This benediction proves affliction and abandonment by god.

The presence of god have you ever felt.
You live in denial.
Your god is dead.
God is dead.


7. INCONSTANT OBSCURE

(Instrumental)


8. EXTRACTED FROM THE WOMB

Deify, this malignant seed is conceived.
Invocation, blessed are the sacraments received.
Embrace the need, invert the cross.
The time is here, the rite of birth.
Trapped inside a contracting womb.
Slowly devours her inner strength.
Feeding off a weakening soul, an urge for power.
I use no restraint.
Extracted from the womb. (x2)
With this birth you'll find faith his mark is clear, 666.
Ripping at your withered flesh.
Torn by cesarean birth.
The womb is split from end to end.
The fetus is now alive.
Rising from its withered host.
The lambs blood drawn in vain.
The guff of souls is empty now.
The last child is born dead.
