1. I, Afflicted 2:24
Meaningless words from the mouth of a loveless man
How can you hate a God you don't believe in?
My heart breaks for all that you will ever know
A life in darkness where you think that you walk alone
The devil holds your hand every step that you take
Thou who could have loved you most has been shunned away
Caught in the false reflection of religious hypocrisy
Pierced by the envy of a world grown cold
It's all the same, just a "damned" cliche
Where is my God now?
Where is He not?
Fingers pointed at the sky, not at man, not at mirrors
Deprived of hope
Drowning in tears
The world forever gnaws on the pierced hand that feeds
To them I am a bastard, but the angels envy me
Trinity unphased by the foulness of your tongue
Forever praise the name of the Father and the Son
The indentions of your knees are already made
Stained Glass Blues (single, June 21, 2024, Rottweiler Records) (Digital)
1. Stained Glass Blues 3:40
Gods amongst men fall
Vain repetitions sown with money and pride
How much joy could your stained glass buy for the ones who cry?
You belong in a pew so you can spew lies to yourself from where you sit
Heretics gifted with the leading role
Feasting on innocence of young and old
This is for every woman and child raped by a "man of God" and every lost soul who was made to feel inadequate on Wednesday night
You are loved
You are to die for
The righteous will be damned
You swear by the truth and further prove you are dirty
Their faces show every bit of disgust in your motive
Your prayers of greed to only praise yourself of the dross that you really are
I said damned
Judge this
You sink your teeth into anybody
I can read the lies straight from your filthy face
All you two-faced bastards, judging people for things they can't control
You shake my hand on Sunday and you stab me in the back on Monday
God doesn't love you more than anyone else so you can go to hell
The Devil Knows My Name (album, July 12, 2024, Rottweiler Records) (CD, Digital)
1. Farther Along The Valley 1:10
2. God Of Hate 3:08
How much do you hate that the God that you hate
Was breathing life and giving breath when he formed your face?
Speaking just for you when your lips were laced
You had a place to hang but he took your place
How much do you hate that the God that you hate
Was breathing life and giving breath when he formed your face?
Speaking just for you when your lips were laced
You had a place to hang but he took your place
Broken inside
Wasting your time
Let go
Destroy the spirit
Of the god of hate
Mutilate the body
Desecrate the grave
Peel deceptions grasp
Snap the fingers one by one
3. The Devil Knows My Name 4:03
The devil knows my name
For it's written in the book of life
Death to the fallen angel
Let it be known, my allegiance lies with heaven
Let it echo, for every six I am the seven
Long live the King of Kings
The mark of the beast has been scratched from the surface of anything meaningful
There is a kingdom built on blood, nothing is more beautiful
I, I, I, I, I know the devil
Bring me the head of baphomet
When the dead walk, the wicked lie still
Let the devil talk, Christ acted upon the hill
4. Piss 'N' Spit 2:44
Reach out and touch the hand that has been crucified
This new creature's existence has been denied
This heart of flesh has callused over
Harder than a heart of stone
The will of man my darkest hour
The hands of God my only dawn
Don't you even try to hate when you don't even know the taste
Of piss and spit and bloody lips
I'm the piece that doesn't fit
For every six I am the seven
No one deserves to go to heaven
Righteousness it has no place
The world's good deeds are gone to waste
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
The world will never know my misery
The world will never know my misery
5. Sardis 2:40
Judging others for booze and blow
Religion and money is all you know
Wear your suit and tie until you die
Your life and image was one big lie
Casting your stones, that are aimed to kill
The broken stay broken, they never heal
The god you serve has become so clear
If you wanna see him, take a look in the mirror
Dead
Dead
Dead
Church
Shake and shiver, from head to toe
You will reap what you sow
Crawl on your knees, pretend to pray
Charades won't save you on judgement day
It's a dead giveaway
I follow the buzzards that circle your steeple
The master of confusion
Has his grasp on you and your people
Dead
Dead
Dead
Church
You won't feel so holy
When the worms rape you inside and out
You self-righteous prick
You are all I disgust
Your crimson ways have stained the dress of the bride
May the blood of lost souls taint your hands
I will grin on my deathbed
Knowing I could never
Be good enough for you
6. Abwoon D'Bashmaya / A Time For War 5:36
When we're falling hear our calling
When we're falling hear our calling
Abwoon d'bashmaya
Nethqadash smakh
Teytey malkuthakh
Neywey tzevyanach aykanna d'bwashmaya aph b'arha

9. Where Does Darkness Dwell When We Open Our Eyes 6:42
Calling names from the depths of my slumber where peace resides
Lest we forget your absence
Reliant upon the lack of light
Your presence has yet to leave
Growing far too comfortable
Pestilence, yet to leave
Trailing along the coattail of life
Pick it clean, take all but strife
Taunting and mockery at every corner
Coldness lives and it won't get warmer
Why must you find your home
In hearts designed for greater good?
I'd kill you with my own bare hands if I could
Ripping and tearing your insides out until there's nothing to see, no life
We lock eyes down the barrels of guns
You stare back from the bottomless bottom
I read your name between the lines
You are lust in the unknown eyes
Forever from grace, tears on God's face
Bittersweet taste
Vengeance is mine, loathe left behind
Choke on the vine
Grinning prick, you are no friend of mine
Hell is where you belong, your last breath is my dying song
What have I to fear?
You'll be forsaken by God
Decay for eternity
The grave, the great escape
You will reside alone in a six foot box
I spit on your God-forsaken grave
Watch me as I push the knife in your chest
Just to watch you fall
Bludgeoned to death, bleed out on the floor
Dead
