Lyrics:

The usurper and the insurgent
Are one and the same
An endless lie
Seizes all that is

Lifeless respiration
Halo of merciless deception

Deemphasize, desensitize
Prismatic refraction of light

Consolidate this fractured intellectual construct

Embrace it and it becomes your own.
Solitude forms the base for immaculate reception
A seperation enforced by the desire to be chosen

With this new, malignent devotion they take up their crosses
Exerting sacramental penance through bloodshed

A red discharge
Lights up the sky
Deforms the Holy Lands
Of the great deceiver

In our garden of Eden the rapture began
Leading to obscene, blind devotion which

(is) Everpresent, obscuring the grip that you claim to have on life
When you believe that the end of time is drawing near
Soothing concept when you have no future
Desolation in your heart, when you make the ultimate sacrifice

Manmade liturgy and stigmatising dogma twist the bias of the innocent from here on out

Absolve this..
Permanent negligence - abstain from sufferance - evident misery - present
monotony
One truth..
Permeates from within - the self-entitled sin -- supersede dependance -- the horror
vacui
Find yourself..
Sovereign formity - distinctability -- corpus eternity -- crossing the astral sea
Visionary..
Behold the surface light -- harvest the merit of -- lifebased contingency -- devout
supremacy

The illusion and the messiah
Are one and the same
Perpetual
State of defiance

The blood you shed will fuel our crusade
Of sulphur and hellfire your souls are made
Self-denial is the essence of your cause
Prepare for reformation, exerting justice
