Abandoned - Immolation

Martyrs of the cross, bear the flames of hate The madness in their eyes is blind to their obsession The judgments they bestow... in God's name Abolish the impious, conquering their fate Driven by beliefs they enforce upon the weak To justify the life... they've destroyed. For control of the soil, sacred grounds of faith Soaking in the blood, the blood of their redemption Longing for deliverance... from sin Apostles of perversion, the suffering they induce Thrive upon the carnage, take pleasure in their pain They offer no atonement... for they're his chosen Take the weak... Make them see Our blessed ways... Died for God Sickening... Benevolence Twisted... Conviction On the shores of Armageddon, the defeated bow their heads Silent are their prayers, silent are the heavens Their somber eyes have seen the coming of the beast. Behold the loss of life and the triumphs of death The fall of man and God, a penance for devotion Feel the fury of his everlasting retribution

Death He Lied! To the most high, above all They cower in his might But now, in his nakedness and shame He falls... Fallen King... to endure Ceaseless pain... world is dead Mighty God... pulling down The heavens divide, revealing a light From out of the sky, their savior appears The figure adorned in wonder and brilliance Plummeting down, falling to earth In horror they watch, it was all just a lie. As light turns to black, devours their hope... and faith. Mighty God... pulling down Casting down... everything high And bringing you... towards earth Cold darkness, swallows life Heavens promise, stolen light Now to suffer with their fallen Christ Blood to dust, flesh to dirt To the earth, they lie Light of God, never seen To the most high, from below They cower in his might But now in triumphant glory Rejoice the fall of God Towards Earth Might God... pulling down Casting down... everything high And bringing you... towards earth Mighty God... consume the light Casting down... your pathetic Christ And bringing them... towards Hell

Many times I've keeled before the lord not knowing he was at my feet Why my pain, why my tears Only now to see you were just man You sit and watch, in all your splendor On creator, it's you I now renounce Everloving God, your love has failed me I don't need your love... Jesus, you couldn't save me You couldn't save them You couldn't save the world from misery Hate my sin, Love my pain You made us suffer, to your delight To feel your anguish, will be my strength Your broken kingdom, shall fall below Once a time when I yearned to be at one with the Lord Cheated by your false claims of divinity I defy your word and rise in your disdain To revoke you of your dominion I am the darkness of the world You couldn't save me You couldn't save the them You couldn't save the world from misery Savior and Healer The water you walked is drowning me With glimpses of the highest reward And the depths of the overwhelming promise I confront him, the heavens before me God fleeing, his presence swept away

Alone Without warmth Without light But how do I see in this darkness Death feeds upon me The condemned under my feet Eternity has passed us by Everyone is here The ones I've loved and hated All of us in pain... together In a timeless void of anguish Where sorrow is like breathing And with every breath I hurt more and more The fallen and trampled Damned to spend eternity here Constant burning souls In a sea of writhing flesh Endless plains Of sin and deprivation Those of wealth and might, of humble and weak Those who gave way to uphold God's will He who has conquered and he who has failed The wicked and the holy in utter desolation In this absence of being, misery consumes Existing not living, I am dead yet AI feel in total seclusion I am left to ponder the empty promises of your shallow God The sounds of anguish... so loud Their sobbing... like thunder Pierces through me... and crushed me Again... and again... and again So vast this pain More unbearable it becomes With every passing moment I pray for an end In a timeless void of anguish Where sorrow is like breathing And with every breath I hurt more and more

Behind the walls of Christ The hypocrites recite songs to glorify Their king who's died in vain They betray the holy son Extinguishing his light Their greed and their desire Have torn him from his cross They took down upon us As their God looks down upon them And sees them for what they are Devoted to their saints and all their hails to Mary Confessions show their weakness Pathetic show of faith They ease their guilt Through the Rosary Their false display of pit Condemns the God they praise Their words of adoration Spewing from their lips Lie far from their hearts Their insincere tears Fall from lying eyes They'll never see his kingdom They'll burn with Jesus

As if they were tearing through my flesh, it was embedded in my mind That Jesus died for me... How foolish can they be As if they were tearing through my flesh, it was embedded in my mind Jesus didn't die for me... Jesus died How foolish can they be to worship such a king Who was crowned and hung between two thieves In hopes of his return, we congregate in prayer A faith so strong it obscured us from the truth Your cross was my enslaver Nails that held me close Your precious blood was shed And I don't accept your pain Monarch of deceit on a cross of hope and fear Not a symbol of your sanctity But a reminder of your defeat As you were nailed and killed So were we nailed to gold We live upon your cross and bear this guilt for you
