lyrics

I feel it in their minds
Heretic faith sublime
Surrounding truth with lies
Deceiving lucid eyes

Shatter the throne
Offering of bone
Left to atone
For spectral sins before life begins

This liturgy
Presented to me
Prophesizes our ascendancy

In the cyphers of text
Is described what comes next
A voracious and self proclaimed god
Whose means only hinder the blessed

Here it reads
What is law shall bend and then break and then bleed
Now I see
A portrayal of the future spectral liturgy

Go forth and spread my work
While these deniers lurk

They'll be the ones left behind
Salvation will be denied
While they beg and plead and cry
Mercy for us mercy for us
Turn now and repent for me
Don't live in complacency
Become what you're meant to be
Spiraling down as you

Slowly degrade
To violence and hate
They will seal their fate
Becoming as one, erased into none

Chosen to burn
Refuse to learn
That their home land has become their urn

At the end of the earth
There will be one rebirth
As I look towards an ominous sky,
I see all those destined to die

If I stay
I am promised to witness this world decay
There's no choice
Whispers from an omnipotent angelic voice
Here it reads
What is law shall bend and then break and then bleed
Now I see
A portrayal of the future spectral liturgy

Hear my words
Walking off this path would seem absurd
Can't you see?
Your destiny lies with me

Those who stay
Will fester in a world that's turned to gray
No more filth
Cleansed atrocities and guilt
