I welcome you to hell. Which frees you from your cell made of divine lies. Now’s the time for Lucifer to rise...

lyrics

Burning at the Alter

The Father , the son, and the holy ghost
Living our lives as a whipping post
Giving to God for nothing in return
This is the salvation we have come to learn

As a sacrilege rooted in the tree of woe
Forbidden is the fruit where nothing will grow
Eaten by the sickness of your disease
The rotten are ripe to ravage Eve

Chant the disciples, chant for disdain
Sing hallelujah for the fall of Heaven’s reign
Pray for the slavery of all you’ve been taught
A white collar auction where belief is sold and bought

Power to the evil the turning of the screw
Adorned with a crown of lies to crucify you
Seven killing wounds one in the hand
The left hand path will lead to the promised land

I welcome you to hell
Everyone’s soul is for sale
It’s written in the words
That the heathens sing backwards

Ashes of my soul lie scattered through the pages
Written in his blood the creation of dark ages
An alter of faith transformed into a funeral pyre
Wretched in this righteousness we watch the flames burn higher

The Alpha and the Omega, the one to end it all
The subliminal message in the savior’s psalm
Pointing out the paths of the pentagram
Blood of the ritual we slaughter the lamb

Killing in the order of the hierarchy
The pain of the slain pillage the piety
Resting our souls on the church’s defeat
Praise to the darkness, Praise to the scourge

Choking on the sermons that we binge and purge
Speaking in tongues with eyes rolled back
Replacing the light with endless black
Graves made of thistle, hemlock and sage

Dancing with Faust on a godly stage
We portray the shadows who haunt with sin
Feeding the flames of the fire within

I welcome you to Hell
Enchanted by it’s spell
Sacrificed on the sanctity
Of those who Burn for thee

I welcome you to hell
Which frees you from your cell
Made of divine lies
Now’s the time for Lucifer to rise

Embers of my heart tightened in the fist
Evil whispers with it’s hate in a kindled kiss
The venom of the vile coming to reclaim
A world forbidden by the living death is set aflame
