1. Vehement Zeal 3:15
Loneliness is my bride
Without it then I would die
I came from nothing
To nothing I'll return
Another body made savage
And a soul be one with He

Stagnation
Ruination
Crush the throat of the wicked
Sword of the spirit
Vehement zeal
This weapon of the Christ

My mind a battered ship
Ripping through the sea
Hate and darkness burning
In the furnace pushing me
Pain and hatred fuel
A fervor in the sea
My lighthouse is the Father
Rip and tearing towards His light

Stagnation
Ruination
Crush the throat of the wicked
Sword of the spirit
Vehement zeal
This weapon of the Christ

1. The War In Heaven 3:34
Archangel whipping up fury
The Sword of God unleashed in rage
Fallen ones sputter and writhe on the ground
The catastrophic war has begun
The War in Heaven is here

Rebellion against the one true God in heaven must be crushed with enough force to shake the fabric of time and existence itself, bringing the violent heel of justice upon the throats of the wicked, dispelling and casting down the very angels once loved by God Himself

Archangel whipping up fury
The Sword of God unleashed in rage
Fallen ones sputter and writhe on the ground
The catastrophic war has begun
The War in Heaven is here

The cherub tears demon limbs and souls from the body and smite their enemies with the strength and tenacity of God himself
Michael comes down from the throne leading the heavenly host into battle the seraphim armor soaked in the blood of the demons and scream Glory to God Almighty

2. Vehement Zeal 3:15
Loneliness is my bride
Without it then I would die
I came from nothing
To nothing I'll return
Another body made savage
And a soul be one with He

Stagnation
Ruination
Crush the throat of the wicked
Sword of the spirit
Vehement zeal
This weapon of the Christ

My mind a battered ship
Ripping through the sea
Hate and darkness burning
In the furnace pushing me
Pain and hatred fuel
A fervor in the sea
My lighthouse is the Father
Rip and tearing towards His light

Stagnation
Ruination
Crush the throat of the wicked
Sword of the spirit
Vehement zeal
This weapon of the Christ

3. Wrath Descends 2:36
Moved by virtue
Suffered endless
Needless sin of
Man must end
Become the zealot
Be the righteous
Fight against death
Eternal suffering
Kill unrighteous
Invaders coming
Seeking holy lands

Savage
Wrath
Descends

No more floods now
Only fires
Sweep the land
Of wickedness
The temptation
Has no power
Righteous men
Crusades violent
Creeping DEATH
Your doorstep
Last chance
Repent to be saved

Savage
Wrath
Descends

Ooooh now the violence falls
Down, smiting down the wretched
All, rejectors through unbelief
Die without his favor

4. Crusade IX 3:40
Sword and shield broken Christians
Drive out the Arab hordes
Bring the glory back to God
Christ will dwell in Judea again
Deus Vult
Our peoples killed
No more

Along the trek we take it back
With God and sword we attack
Blood soaked to the bone
Land of God taken hold
The leper king marches home
With Viciousness we
Fight, the fight to end their war

Call all who'll fight for God
The infestation persists to this day
Never let the holy land fall again
Desecrators be rid of this land today
Today

Along the trek we take it back
With God and sword we attack
Blood soaked to the bone
Land of God taken hold
The leper king marches home
With Viciousness we
Fight, the fight to end their war

Those who die for Christ will live

5. Witches Bvrn 3:14
Old days gone indeed
Evil crushed and cleaned
Old degeneracy
Returns
Youth corrupted free
Occult fantasies
Purge the wicked seed
Make these witches
Burn

Bring it down
Repent before your time comes
Tear 'em down
Make these witches burn

Desecrating old
Sacrilegious hordes
Infest society
No more
Trendy evil-frauds
Brazen and they're bold
Spit in the face of God
You're next

Bring it down
Repent before your time comes
Tear 'em down
Make these witches burn

Scoring The Flesh (demo, February 7, 2025, Coleiosis Records) (CD-R, Digital)

1. Scoring The Flesh 3:28
Under the intense weight of guilt and sin
Discipline in hand, bearing the scars
Only a fraction of the suffering Christ faced
Penitents ready their Spugna and Disciplines

They walk the streets
As their ancestors did before them
Inflicting agony upon themselves
The skin tears
The blood flows
To suffer as Christ and the Martyrs suffered

The extremity of this self-mortification
Both condemned and praised
Is this truly penance?

The skin tears
The blood flows
To suffer as Christ and the Martyrs suffered

2. Burden Of Despair, Forever Laid To Rest... 3:28
As candles flicker in the frigid dark night
Mourners gather in droves
To carry their burden of despair
Prayer for the soul, the final hour
Silence falls...

Incense rises, the smoke ascends
Mourning continues
As the body rests within its final home
Penance and prayer are offered...

They prayed for peace
Yet it is hard to see light
Only dark shadows in the eternal night
Yet the smoke, we know the way
Eternal grace and mercy that Christ will lay

Time goes on
The dead yet aren't forgotten
The incense fades, yet scars of pain remain
Hearts trapped in endless chains...

3. The Casket Comes Forth... 2:31
A shallow, bitter grave
I approach the end
The sins of my life cling to me
I must repent

Penance taken for my past
Will it be enough?
Fears swirl endlessly through my head
As the coffin comes forth

Pray my final prayers
Throw myself at the feet of Christ
Was it enough?
After I lived in darkness, and turned away my face
Will I be forgiven, or is it too late?

A shallow, bitter grave
I approach the end
The sins of my life cling to me
I must repent

To have sin washed away or to be damned?
I close my eyes, breathe in the ghastly air
Today, I die with a sinful heart and guilty mind
