"God doesn't hear the prayers of the sinner"

Or so you said to me the night we died

"Why pray for us to stay together?"

You sobbed as you dug out my eyes

"Begone! Now i so curse you,

Return to halls of your heathens and sluts

I wish I had never known you -

Love not at all, the scars and the cuts"

You've poisoned the well

Cast coins into Hell

(False Messiah)

Jesus wept for the mercy of the Father,

Jesus wept for the fate of the Antichrist

You cannot tell One from the Other

The Devil prays in a shepherd’s disguise

You stared from beyond the candlelight

At the horror you let inside

Caressing my cage and trembling with glee

Vomit through the bars to drown me:

"You cannot fathom my pain,

I will spoil all that you hold dear

(Give me everything), I am Fury

Rip your heart from your chest and worship your tears"

Obfuscate the Word

Corrupt all you've heard

Twist their minds with fear

Jesus wept for the mercy of the Father,

Jesus wept for the fate of the Antichrist

You cannot tell One from the Other

The Devil preys in a shepherd’s disguise

(the Father of Lies)

Run your tongue

Along the crucifix

Beg forgiveness as you torture Christ again

You scream like the sluts you condemn:

"Fill me!" (Fill me!)

"Enter me!" (Enter me!)

"I want to feel you, O Lord!"

"I open myself!"

"I'm down on my knees!"

Jesus Christ looks like me

You cast your prayers in vain to the Father

But they are prayers best heard by the Antichrist

You revere One but reflect The Other

The devout are forced to see God

through Lucifer's eyes

Snake hides in the guise of the Priest

Lead the flock only to slit the throat of the Lamb

Blood of Christ, water to wine

Come, wash your sins away

You killed God with false piety

The Archangel closes the gates!
