Anathema

Eternally encased in flames

The fruits of deception

The everlasting pain

The decadent illusion - fuel to the fire

Devoured by death with ease

Exposed before the one you despised

His sentence incites your pleas

Temporary glory - the everlasting fire

The Serpent's true agenda - the passion of the liar

Driven by hatred of God and man

Maniacal thrust

Morbid prince of darkness fueled by pride

Consuming souls with lust

Eden's garden - without pardon

Cursed and cast away

Fell from Heaven - prideful leaven

Creation subject to decay

The seduction brought corruption

From conception we're estranged

Enslaved to mass deception

Now the sane appear deranged

Yet a light shines in the darkness

To redeem the souls of man

Through divine condescension

Salvation wrought through God's right hand

On a bloodied cross he purchase our redemption

Divine intervention - the death and resurrection

Behold the fulfilment of the scarlet oath

Souls in torment where their worm dieth not

Now enslaved where their worm dieth not

There they suffer where their worm dieth not

No one saves where their worm dieth not
