Take a deep breath 'Cause it all starts now When you pull the fuckin' pin The shrapnel burns As it tears into the skin Ever wonder what it takes To be questioning your faith This is what it's like When it happens every Goddamn day
Violence is our way of life
Shards of life Like confetti in the air The flesh storm grows As it breeds despair You hear screams in the distance Fighting the resistance Not cries of war These are just the sounds of pain
It's all just psychotic devotion Manipulated with no discretion Relentless War
[Lead - Hanneman]
Killing's in style And it's now the main event The cameras are whores For the daily bloodshed Like a junkie Hungry for a fix of anything The media devours And feasts upon the inhumane
Violence is our way of life
It's all too fuckin' clear We can never coincide So let's all drink To genocide All the venomous sights Border on the arcane In times of war Everything is bound by pain
It's all just psychotic devotion Manipulated with no discretion Relentless Warfare knows no compassion Thrives with no evolution Unstable minds exacerbate Unrest in peace
[Lead - King]
There's no future The world is dead So save that last Bullet for your head
Only fallen have won Because the fallen can't run My vision's not obscure For war there is no cure So here the only law Is men killing men For someone else's cause
It's all just psychotic devotion Manipulated with no discretion Relentless War
Attitude is my addiction I live life with no regret Unlike you, it's my conviction That sets me apart from the rest
I live for competition Your cynicism only makes me stronger I am the culmination Setting the standard that all will follow
I live it every day Don't know another way
Within my eyes there's devastation And fury you can't understand In my fight, win by attrition I bring it with all that I fucking am All that I fucking am
You never dealt with such rejection Licking your wounds that won't fucking heal You've never seen so much aggression I am the scream to your fucking silence
I live it every day Don't know another way
Attitude is my addiction I live life with no regret Unlike you, it's my affliction That creates the template of all that I am All that I fucking am
You know and I know No matter what you say You'll be beaten today Like every other day
Something about you Keeps you from letting go Of lame obsessions Built up inside you
Forget the guesswork You're starting at the source Gazing into my eyes You'll see there's no remorse
'Cause this is my war All day and every day It's all about the conflict, yeah
Bring on the competition Your pessimism only makes me stronger I am the culmination The fucking standard that all will follow
Unbound God's creation Has grown into the sinner Abandoned innocence Impenitent transgressor
Escape mortality They say your life can change If you take God's hand Embrace rebirth Your cleansing's so divine To be reborn in God's eyes
You'll never touch God's hand You'll never taste God's breath Because you'll never see the Second Coming Life's too short to be focused on insanity I've seen the ways of God I'll take the Devil any day, hail Satan
Your faith has atrophied And rots in Hell's asylum Despondence tears you down A free-falling social stain
Escape atrocity They say your life can change If you take God's hand Embrace rebirth Your cleansing's so divine To be reborn to God's lies
You'll never touch God's hand You'll never taste God's breath Because you'll never see the Second Coming It's all a fucking mockery, no grasp upon reality It's mind control for compulsory religion And the Skeleton Christ
You'll never touch God's hand You'll never taste God's breath Because you'll never see the Second Coming I laugh at the abortion known as Christianity I've seen the ways of God I'll take the Devil any day, hail Satan
You'll never touch God's hand You'll never taste God's breath Because you'll never see the Second Coming It's all a fucking mockery, no grasp upon reality It's mind control for compulsory religion Mind control for compulsory religion Mind control for compulsory religion And the Skeleton Christ
A soldier's heart Reflecting back at me I keep seeing mutilated faces Even in my dreams Distorted images Flashing rapidly Psychotically abusing me Devouring my brain The eyes of the insane An under mentioned campaign Tortured Spirits Will not let me rest These thoughts of mutilated faces Completely possessed Fragmented images Flashing rapidly Psychotically abusing me whirling through my head Shell shocked battle mortise overwhelming desirety Flashbacks panic attacks Death raising it's ugly face at me Got to make it stop Can't take it anymore Death's face is haunting me Because he's coming back for more The eyes of the insane An under mentioned campaign Flashbacks Panic attacks Death raising it's ugly face at me Got to make it stop Can't take it anymore Death's face is haunting me Because he's coming back for more
Got to make it stop Can't take it anymore Death's face is haunting me Because he's coming back for more A soldier Of misfortune Add all my pain and suffering Into this hell These demons Ripping through my soul Evil's relentless hostility won't let me sleep Shell shocked Battle mortise Devastating insanity Flashbacks Panic attacks Death's riding He's coming for me
I have witnessed your death I've seen it many times Your tortured scrams Your decrypted little mind A father's son With pathetic eyes that bleed Twins in the end Begin and let the brothers fall
I will see you buried alive Screaming for your God I will watch you die again for him
God won't touch what I've done He cries upon my feet A privilege pain Beneath buried are your dead On splintered bones I walk Sifting through the blood Besieged in fear Await the coming of the God
I will watch you die again for him
Blood is raining downward The stain reflects the sun Conquer divide within Terrorize the mind I have seen the end it's yours Rosary in hand Your selfish flesh it melts Spilling from the sky
I will see you burn alive Screaming for your God I will watch you die
This is God's War God's War This God's War God's War
War of Holy principles I'm seeking God's help in your destruction Slit the throat of heathen man And let his blood dilute the water Bury your dead
F**k your God erase his name A lady weeps insane with sorrow I'll take his towers from the world You're fucking raped upon your deathbed
This is God's War God's War This God's War God's War F**king Holy War
Be optimistic, happy and calm Show no fear or anxiety Smile at the face of God And your reward will be eternity Holy warriors Your patience will be justified Everything is for him You must not comfort the animal before you kill it Strike as champions at the heart of the nonbelievers Strike above the neck and at all extremities For it's a point of no return for almighty God God will give victory to his faithful servant When you reach ground zero you will have killed the enemy The great Satan
need to redefine All the things I hate today Politics that fail From a president derailed I hate the shit economy It might as well be sodomy I know that in the end I'm expected to pretend
But I can't relate To your verbal idiocy No one's in control When the government's the enemy
So light the fuse Impose your views Consfearacy is anarchy
Actions of hostility Breeds conformity Annihilation will begin Extermination from within
So light the fuse Impose your views Confearacy Insanity
I need to redefine How I see the world today Seems that all the war Didn't even up the score It's only mind pollution There is no resolution Still I know that in the end I'm expected to pretend That I can't think for myself Blame it all on someone else Half-hearted smile While you look the other way I can't relate To your verbal idiocy No one's in control When the government's the enemy
So light the fuse Impose your views Confearacy Complacency Is your demise
Fear is just interpretation Feeds my motivation Our time together is A bloodbath of serenity Plead no more There's no confusing the finale Excitation My rancid passion is electrified
Accept this My religion of torture I can't see any purity Just imperfection and obscenity My blood soaked hands devise Your slow methodic demise Asphxiate the world It's blind without me
Catatonic Catatonic I'm numb in priceless solitude Exhilarating keeping pieces of you near
visions of decapitation My mental masturbation I try to resurrect Your consciousness your intellect Once so pure Your pain excites and it tests me Excitation The empty state emitting from your eyes
Embrace it My religion of tortue All I see are the impurities The imperfections and obscenities
Accept it The religion of torture Excitation The rancid passion coming from your eyes
My blood soaked hands devise Your slow methodic demise Asphyxiate the world It's blind without me
Catatonic Catatonic I'm numb in priceless solitude Exterminating all the voiceless multitudes I can't stop because it's so hypnotic Catatonic
Opression is the holy law In God I distrust Italic monuments will fall Like ashes to dust It's war and creed the master plan The battle's where it all began It's propaganda shouts despair And sends this virus everywhere
Refrain:
Religion is hate Religion is fear Religion is war Religion is rape Religion is obscene Religion is a whore
The pestilence of Jesus Christ There never was a sacrifice No man who hung the crucifix Beware the call for purity Infections their facility I've made my choice 666!
Carussa Green's a paedophile No praying for the priest Confession finds a lonely child Now preys on the weak You think your soul can still be saved I think you're fucking miles away Scream out loud, heres where you begin Forgive me Father for I have sinned!
Refrain:
Religion is hate Religion is fear Religion is war Religion is rape Religion is obscene Religion is a whore
The target's fucking Jesus Christ The one I'd love to sacrifice I'd nail him to the crucifix Beware the call for purity Infections their facility I've made my choice 666!
Jesus is pain Jesus is gore Jesus is the blood that's filled the war He's everything He's all things dead He's pulling down the trigger pointed at your head! The fear your shoulded to the front Revelation, Revolution, I see through your cracked illusion!
The war on terror just drags along My holy god it's growing strong It's propaganda shouts despair And sends this virus everywhere
Refrain:
Religion is hate Religion is fear Religion is war Religion is rape Religion is obscene Religion is a whore
There is no fucking Jesus Christ There never was a sacrifice No man upon the crucifix Beware the call for purity Infections their facility I've made my choice 666!
Crushing all your worthless goals I define control Your pain's my fucking ecstasy So putrid is my world of tyranny
Accentuate your desperation Flesh from bone, I'll rip and tear I hate the fact That we breathe the same air
Helpless, as I dominate I won't celebrate Until you've all been crucified I can not rest 'til everyone has died
I can't stand the victim in you Infecting everything that I do
I will eradicate Obliterate, depopulate Divine, atrocious suffering Cleansation of the weak, supremacy
Pissing on your faith Incinerate God's whore Perpetual is my reign I will eat your soul
Must maintain control of the weak
Must maintain control of the weak Must contain the minds of the free Must maintain control of the weak Must contain the minds of the free Must maintain control of the weak
