1. Defiance 3:00
We didn't come here to bow down
We came here to fight
We will wage this war
We will not back down
Lift your hands, to the sky
And know that you're not alone
You're not alone, do not be afraid
For God is with you, do not fear
So tell me, what have you to do with peace?
So tell me, what have you to do with peace?
Take a stand and fight with me, take a stand and fight
Take a stand and fight with me, take a stand and fight
Do not hesitate, do not waste what God has given
Do not hesitate, do not waste what God has given
So tell me, what have you to do with peace?
So tell me, what have you to do with peace?
Take a stand and fight with me, take a stand and fight
Take a stand and fight with me, take a stand and fight
And as death, reaches out
Take his hand and break it
2. Ophelia 2:42
Dear friend, for the sake of God beware
Kiss the rose, you have in hand
And wipe the dust from this face
And blessed, be the man who spares these bones
And cursed, be the man who moves these stones
Many like us have loved, many like us have cried
And many like us have left this life
In the blink of an eye
We took this world, through our courage
Our strength
Yet we couldn't take anything with us
Down to our grave
Yet we couldn't take anything with us
Down to our grave
So remember, as you pass us by
As you are now, so once was I
And as I am, so one day you'll be
Now prepare for death and follow me
For you will remain alive, in the dreams of the voiceless
3. Post Mortem Ritual 2:31
Bow before the throne, of deception
Life your hands up high to this mockery
False prophets singing praises
To a god, they do not know
Mortal lives singing praises
Unto, a darkened throne
Mortal lives singing praises
Unto, a darkened throne
Lacerations across this sky
Shed the tears of your god
Revealing his lies
Now is the time to destroy this plague
As their idols, lay broken at their feet
I will feast upon the flesh of your head table
And the hand of divinity will reveal the absolution that you've mocked
You bring forth, this witness
Birthing poison from the womb
Jesus Christ, firstborn of the dead
To you alone the glory
4. La Petite Mort 2:10
In the morning hour
She was at his door
On Valentine's Day
She became a whore
Up he rose to let her in
In an hour they had sinned
Mort
Never to breathe, never to leave
On that day she took his life away
5. Godless 2:57
You know that you're alive
But your heart is failing
For so long you've been asleep
But your eyes are open
As your soul clings to the ashes, of this life
Know that this is what it's like, to be alive
When you are living, to die
To your hands you fell
To your feet you stand
How long did you lie awake?
How long did your heart break?
Without you, this world held nothing
Without you, this world held nothing
Without you, this world held nothing
Without you, this world held nothing
Yet I went without you
Help me recall
The way you etched love upon this heart
And forgiveness upon these arms
God... God save me
You overtook me, with who you are
Refine this heart by your love, your hands
Make in your image, a man who will be after your heart
6. Sovereign Dialogue 2:44
Do not utter, a word from your lips
Keep your mouth shut, keep your mouth shut
Or I'll rip you apart
Now remove the mask that you've been wearing
And show this world, your decaying beauty
You have betrayed all, that matters to you
Do not lift your hand out, expecting me to lift you up
I have no sympathy, for traitors
America, how does it feel
To have the blood of your saviour
On your hands?
You are not the one with nail-scarred hands

1. Aequitas 3:28
Never, let the blood
Of the innocent, be shed
Yet let the wicked's flow
Like a river, to carry the corpses
Of their dead
We don't want your hungry
Or your weak
It's evil we seek
And with every breath we breathe
We'll hunt it down
Until there is none left
To be found
Heretic, abomination unto God
You have stolen many lives
But tonight we will come for
Yours
For we are the army of God
Not to be compared with legion
So as you look into my eyes
Try to tell me, that my God isn't real
In God alone I trust
To wipe away the tears of the innocent
And justice, will be claimed
So, prince of this world
Fear me
For I will hang your corpse
As a mockery of evil
2. Veritas 4:01
Silence mourners
Upon the mortuary steps
Notions ill conceived
And they wept
Over the false messiah
That you prophesied
By the stagnant water
Ever flowing, from your lips
Flooding the hearts of His people
Thirsty they sip
As you prostitute their innocence
Upon an unholy altar
Murderer of unborn prophets
Murderer of His children
Their eyes are a gate to despair
Their eyes are a gate to despair
Formed by the hands of men
Regurgitated by God
Liar, force-feeding a weakened god
You are nothing more than a whore
And a fraud
I have heard the heartbeat of God
And it will be our war cry
For blood has been shed
For innocent blood has been shed
And I will only bow to God
I will only bow to you
O Lord
The creator of the heavens and the earth
For You are the ocean that buries this heart
Jesus, awaken this land
3. Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things 3:08
There's no time to waste as she sees
Maggot filled flesh dangling from the trees
She hits her knees, prays to her God
She hits her knees, praise to the damned
A man with flesh upon his face
Breathes a requiem of her fate
And with his chainsaw he'll write her obituary
Inserted through delicate skin
The blade starts to pulse within
She should have stayed away
Instead she found her grave
She lays, now under the ground
Where worms begin to feed
Silence, the only sound
It is deafening
Now stare deep into the face of hell
As she rises from the grave
She'll seek the face of her killer
Declaring his fate
And I swear
There will be blood
To paint these walls
With the bile of her killer
4. Carmilla 3:52
Tales were told of a woman
Who drew the dead into her body
Lead out into a forest black
Underneath the autumn moon
The cry of the witch calls forth
Temptation
Deception
In the weak mind of fools
A succubus
She beckons the dead into her womb
With scarlet lios she prays
Unto the devil's heart
Stripping the life away from me
Cadavers at her command
They beg for touch
They crave her moan
Men, what will become of this world
If we continue to feed this whore?
What will become of true love?
Now's the time to light this up
And burn away her unholy lies
Tonight, tonight, we take back this town
Tonight, tonight, we end her curse
And drive a stake deep into the heart of lust
And in the Father's name
I pray amen
5. Patrick Swayze Was No Kurt Russel 3:26
We are the wolves outside your door
That will devour the flock and feast upon the flesh
Of those who would subdue us
So keep an ear to the ground
And your head above the water
Or else you'll find yourself led to this slaughter
Time will tell secrets
But the dead will tell no tales
I'll peel the flesh from your face
Just to take a taste
Of the beauty that's made you so damn proud
With your bones
I will make a melody
To tug at your heartstrings
An ode to all of the truly beautiful things
That you destroyed
Tell me
Does it feel good
To have their blood
On your hands?
I can't believe that it's come to this
Oh no I can't
I can't believe that you've become this
Rotting away
You've become useless
And with no legs left to spread
You will never find love again
So wipe that smile off your face
And hail to the king
Hail to the king
