Pitch black depths: dominion of death Time kneels subjugated to this vacuity Forlorn creation re-echoes unheard… History of eons collapse forsaken Gigantic holes of death in hunger of light Order from chaos – destruction of empty spaces Mass obscure expands inexorably Doom of silent zeroing of entropy Membrane of time, stretched to stillness Frozen eons of radiative remains Enchained to laws of this dark womb Doomed to expire in the slowest agony Any deity has lost drowned into the void Graveyard of worlds drowns in black the endless realm of profound death… Eternal is the frost of this tomb devouring the space and time as it grows Cosmic unfolding of nothingness Congregations of stars shifted to red Billions and billions of centuries of void enshrouding with darkness this abyss An absence that reason cannot embrace The most lifeless thing ever to exist Fade into timeless slumber Forgotten creation of a dead goddess Sink into the abyss of time Swallow every sun, every life, and light itself
2.
Fear of god has shut your reason Aching doubts have taken your sleep You blindly flagellate your soul self-inflicting pain to be redeemed… Christianity has become an unbearable disease The word of God now hangs you and the noose is impossible… to ease! Kneel and grip tight to your rosary Curse yourself for your every deed Repeat these words until insanity: “Forgive me father, for I have sinned” Obsessive Christendom Lunacy leads on when you’re forced to face your doom Obsessive Christendom Asphyxiate in prayers that your lucidity consume “Lord, judging my doom as I rest Deliver me from evil that men enthralls In the hour of my death Your purity unstained shall save my soul… …for in glory of heavens I’ll be reborn”
3.
Triumph of horror painted on stones of these dark halls Church of macabre: they pray for total death Skulls and bones to remind you thy doom The ossuary: chapel of dark men’s decay Centuries of pitiful commiseration to tame the fearful sheep of Christ Enchained souls by a portrayed horrification Death shall here discourage life No room for vanity nor self-magnification for those who shall return to ash Preachers of carnage and of sick abominations lead the sermon of the mass The gory end reigns In these walls of corpses Macabre domain… Thy lord flagellates by the pains of pestilence Collected remains… of death! God grotesque… God has judged that our doom is condemnation The priest is the harbinger of horror And so the church became domain of desolation of hundreds bones covered in dust Ignorance is spreading minds petrification amongst the men who are vexed by death In the ossuary death demands dark celebration The life absence suffocates thou… Religion twisted into morbidity Christ’s passion is now a path of gore Father of mortification Sinister is our devotion Sermon of annihilation Life denial, the fear to exist… Macabre lord…
4.
Immolate… the denied Left behind by a reluctant messiah Religion perverted by weakness Vile degeneration of men Decadence’s preached as virtue of Christ… …the dead god! Their lord was submitted to death Crowned and hung among thieves For believers of lies, the deserved feeble king… …on the cross! You’ll never see the light you seek Open your eyes Abnegate the reign of God Reality has been overthrown by the bearers of “truth”… The acknowledged voice of emptiness and decline They named compassion a virtue Promoting denial of life Instinct was labelled as sin of worst kind… …impure! His sanctity is poisonous and filthy Exhibit of horrid decay Falsely pitiful, they hide in their faith… Abandoned through infinite nothingness The empty space breathe upon us becoming colder and continually darker What are these churches now but not the tombs and monuments of God? Do we not hear the morticians who are burying him? Do we not smell the divine putrefaction? For even Gods putrefy! God is dead! God remains dead! And we have killed him! The most murderous of all murderers… The mightiest that the world possessed has bled to death under our knife… The burden of your cross shall not weight on my back Not an healer… You couldn’t have saved me Not a savior… You couldn’t have changed this misery Jesus Christ has not died for my sins The foolishness of praying congregated in deceit is disgusting me…

Born in desecration… Incestuous spawn of life and death Blood lusty adoration… Obsessed by gore, and decay of flesh Perpetually obstructed shouts crowd a purulent brain obsessed by integrity Sick deformities of reality and routine suffering Indifference masks hatred for life's essence Desire of eternal end in a warm grave where I'm worm's sovereign There I should reign! Through morbidity and decay Obsession for decease Deceitful is human being Careless existence as a dusty ghost I was born Flesh and bones… I'm God's most hated son Longing for flesh Demented lust Depraved dash Perverted Possession - Anticoagulant pain for evil to prevail Obsession - Forever lasting oath to live in hell Sickness - Rotting thee be born I will Soreness - Incarnation of morbidity…
6.
The holiest one was taken of his life Fear, slayers of Christ! A sacrifice to stain the whole mankind Die, bloodstained lamb We are God since he did fall to lay Suffer: emptiness reigns Stand the burden of a profane life Despair: nothing's left now Deconsecrate… Dechristianize! The morality of God has been overthrown Order of before is destined to none Feed the disbelief and inhumanity Individuals like wolves trying to get fed Open your eyes - witness his death Gott is tot! - resounding rule of men Spiritual Golgotha, God’s grave… Onward… Morticians of God Highest deity's dead, and it's meant to rest With him do fall all fictional believes Open the gates of age of nihilism Transcend the Rubicon of over-humanity Into nothing we blindly dwell Morticians are burying God Churches are macabre tomb of the abolished cruciform I stand alone as self, by my side no divinity I'm freed from illusions that feed the religiosity I've raise among men by transmuting my own values Forth I intonate my “requiém aeternam Deo”
7.
Torn from the bliss of knowledge, as illusive perception Deluded by absence of meaning in your truth Shall I confront my mortality with the void of life to be Dormant ecstasy of death awaiting for an afterlife Depths of tribulation, I drown Depths of tribulation, abomination Fall into dreary doubts Eternal abacination… …of abandonment to emptiness Penetrates your mind a truth unfit for yourself Befall the end, since now you dwell in pain Soul… antinomy of sense God… antinomy of all Refusal of soul a path to balance disrupt Reshape your perception Slave to contradiction
8.
The accused is doomed to guillotine The sentence is death by decapitation Waiting anxiously for an untimely end Surrounded by wall that shall be my grave Unavoidably trapped in this morbid chaos Fed by anguish suffocating my mind Blood on the gallows Crows fly in wait Extirpation of life By the grace of the court Blasphemous doom of the executed Impending death… awaits Blasphemous doom of the executed Condemnation… grotesque Heretical pervert… execrable flesh Denied acquittance by disgust of the judge Palpitations grow beneath unbearable pound Lifeless flesh cursed to a wretched demise
9.
Horrid mind's disease How grotesque it is Thy bullshit belief - faith's collapse Summon hypocrisy Human spirit death Power-hungry god - herald of lies I serve not - sacred shit Mind crushing filth Stercus Deus Self-generated Obscenely disgraceful brutality Mindful infliction Shameful enchainment Destroy! Burn! Oppose! Annul thyself in fire… Standing on my knees not even when defeated Brains so called faithful made it honorable Forced since your birth stabbed with crucifix now thou have a choice: unchain your soul Mind crushing filth Unearthly blindness
