The Church Is At Fault (EP)

May 1, 2019, Independent (Digital)
November 12, 2019, Christian Metal Underground Records (CD, Digital)

1. Sin Of The Third Circle 7:46
March
Charge
Towards the altar of your fallen god
Come
And gorge your taste for human waste
Submerge
Splurge
Just one more bite, your dearest vice
Converge
Serve
The gluttonous feast among the circle

Your disease is delusion
You're conscious of your choices
Whose hand fed you the poison?
The gluttonous crave their torment

Tie the noose 'round your neck
And indulge your flesh
Feeding your hunger

Tie the noose 'round your neck
And indulge your flesh
Feeding your disease

Breathe in feces
Weeping, screaming
As you're feasting

2. Psalm Of Indoctrine 7:03
I'm plotting to tarnish your offerings
Lie, twist your emotions and profit
I long to defile the naked
Get rich off a gospel degraded; tainted

Be deceived
Unto me, tithe your beliefs
Be with me
Honour among thieves

Come unto my altar
Live under my power
Cleansed of living water
Psalm of indoctrine

By my hand
Faith will yield prosperity
Serve my greed
I'm the God you seek

You're blind to my intentions
Your tithes fund my deception

Your vision blurred
Seduced by polluted scripture
Absolved of paper

Grime
Perversion of bread and wine
Body of Christ victimized

Life left in ruins
Invest in indoctrination
Claim your damnation
Now, go forth in misfortune

Dead ministry
Follow me
And be born again of greed
Taste and see unbelief
Christ offers you nothing

3. The Church Is At Fault 12:07
Open your eyes
Taste and see the failure of our kind
Self-preserved and prosperous we are
Nations of our brethren die and starve
We're to take the blame; we are at fault

Woe to us fools, ignorant to our ways
The human condition of selfishness pays
"Father, provide for our brothers" we pray
But we won't lift a finger, we'd rather complain
Living in privilege, blind to our riches
Basking in our narcissism
While the earth crumbles
We cause third world troubles
We taint the name of Christ

Impoverished and pained, they live in our waste
Who carries the weight of every cent we take?
Starvation prevails, our calling we've failed
The church is to blame for this world that we've ailed
Famished by selfishness, lives have been lost
And it is our fault
Lighting our stages with stolen donations
We taint the name of Christ

Seeing the consequence of our greed

We conjure pain, we taint the name
Yet we refuse to take the blame
Corrupt

The cost to clothe the naked
On petty things it's wasted
How long until we waken?

Waste and pain, church is to blame
Are we failing God?




That Which Defiles (single, September 18, 2020, Independent) (Digital)

1. That Which Defiles 9:35
A tree that's fruitless
Dead and decayed
Arrogant fools that
Feed on disdain

Concede it's useless
Your quest to gain
Ordained as rootless stains
You taint the name

Devising evil
Like tombs whitewashed
A godless people
Perverted hearts

Your throats preach hatred
An open grave
Your slurs equate to waste
Regurgitated filth

That which defiles and tortures
Your heart produces those words
Egotistic disorder
Woe to you

Narcissistic indulgence
Spirit of self-importance
Children of hell, hypocrites
Woe to you

Pharisaical vomit
Spewing entitled nonsense
Conjuring God's abhorrence
Woe to you

Blind guides
Embodied hypocrisy
You're a living mockery
Of all you preach
Slandering all who disagree
Bringing shame to ministry
Defilement
You define what Jesus hates
May you cripple beneath shame
