Witch Hunt 04:06
The pounding on your door allures to violence and gore With people singing, your children screaming for what they have in store The people you call neighbors and friends Have been praying for the chance to sever your head Don’t hold your breath, don’t be so sure There’s no grace here, not anymore Level your expectations, and forfeit your rights The Christians only demand of you your last life Stuck in a world fueled by fear and resentment With the perfect view to watch them all get lost in a Witch Hunt They speak of limitless mercy They stand there with pride A true display of grace while they read you your last rites They preach of clemency, compassion benign The real embodiment of elegance while they feed you your last rites Demands of cleansing and repentance, As they lash out in reverence, To extoll a great message of salvation completely boundless How blessed are you, as the world fades from of view Let me ask, how blessed are you? (how blessed are you)? Oh how blessed are you (how blessed are you)? You know they're gonna hang you high, burn You know that this is your last night Holy cleanses, crusades, torture and murmurous inception Extermination ordained under the wrath of God To protect the gates of heaven, burned at the stake for a holy insurrection With real people stripped of their lives, for zealots, and lies The pounding on your door allures to violence and gore With people singing, your children screaming for what they have in store The people you call neighbors and friends Have been dying to watch their leaders, sever your head With the perfect view, to watch them all, get lost in a witch hunt Get lost in a witch hunt To watch them all, get lost in a witch hunt

Asmodeus 04:00
A simple look will have you melting in my hands Hear my voice beckon, whispering out to the heart that will always bend With shattered discipline, the richness of sin leaves me the best I’ve ever been With a growing exhaustion of resisting the options I’m finally giving in I’m finally giving in After spending so long Being so numb Give into temptation, look into my eyes As I whisper promises, covering over my lies Stare into my soul, even though I’m the last thing on this earth that’ll make you whole A simple look will have you melting in my hands Hear my voice beckon, whispering out to the heart that will always bend to me This heart will always bend to me I think I’m done I’m so done After spending so long Being numb and restrained I’ve lost sight the line Between pleasure and pain I can’t continue to push it away And after all, who am I to try to ignore the taste Fuck, what I’d give for you to take me under I’m done pedaling with neglect instead of the wonders I know I should stop myself, I should block out the hiss But the moment it’s in my hands. It’s nothing but pure bliss Oh God damn, I feel nothing I feel nothing but pure bliss Nothing but pure bliss It’s captivating, satiating, and I can’t let it go To do me one better, I could stay here forever, oh God do I hope One simple look Hear my voice beckon, whispering out to the heart that will always bend With shattered discipline, the richness of sin leaves me the best I’ve ever been With a growing exhaustion of resisting option, I’m finally giving in

The Gates 02:44
“Tremble before that mighty arm that broke asunder the dark prison walls and led souls forth to light. May the trembling that afflicts this human frame, the fear that afflicts this image, of God, descend on you” I challenge you, to unearth holy authority in my domain I challenge you, pursuing virtue with nothing to light your way Nothing to light your way Welcome to my domain I’ll see you at the gates of hell One way or another I’ll see you at the gates of hell Wailing and gnashing, the eternal tormenting before the gates of hell I beckon you, welcome home. Imprisoned to an eternity of ire, sentenced to brimstone and fire I beckon you, stay for a while. Christened at the Christian pyre, light your souls afire

Lucifer 03:24
You can’t change my mind Backed by an ego stacked to hide behind Using my arrogance to shroud out the ignorance Plaguing my actions time after time You can’t change my heart Sticking to my guns over addressing flaws Wherever it lands me, you stay in your own lane Step to the side, and get the fuck out of my life A path to glory paved with no good resolution Miles below the need for reflection Holding my head above the raging oceans Choking back on all my Swallowed confessions I would drown before I ever call for help I can't bring myself to admit I failed Weighed down at the crux of my hubris Abolished of grace with nothing to show for it My vanity makes me feel so secure To watch my narcissism invokes the fuckers that would Damn me to ruin, pouting and brooding I’m in no need of your faulty perspective I got company in the lowest of places and they all get it I’m perfectly comfortable knowing my demons get me My demons get me (x3) It’s a winter wonderland in hell here with me It’s a winter wonderland in hell (my demons get me) It’s a winter wonderland in hell here with me It’s a winter wonderland in hell (my demons get me) Oh it’s hell with me, my demons get me It’s hell here with me, my demons get me You can’t change my mind, Backed by an ego stacked to hide behind Using my arrogance to shroud the ignorance Plaguing my actions time after time You can’t change my heart Sticking to my guns over addressing flaws Wherever it lands me you stay in your own lane Step to the side or get the fuck out of my way

Leviathan 03:59
I reap no satisfaction, from having it all on my own I need the chase, the suffocating embrace, of coveting someone else’s throne I can’t stand to see you smile perched atop riches that you don’t deserve It’s not about what I need, it’s about how you succeed, and dare try live above me Oh how dare you try to live above me Oh how dare Anything I desire, turns rotten and sour, When I see the way it lies in your hands Anything I despise, turns to gold in my eyes, (Oh how dare) When I see the way your kingdom stands I despise the way your kingdom stands I despise the way your kingdom stands I despise the way your kingdom stands I wished and I wanted and I did nothing about it when I failed to focus on me I loathed and cursed the people I should have worshiped, all because my envy blinds me I can see, everything that I want to be, and it’s unattainable, I’m insatiable and I’d rather hate you, than pick up my own feet. Hoping to see you stumble As my rite to keep those short of grace and unworthy, humbled. I’d see your empire to rubble I’d see your whole world crumble I’d see your empire to rubble I’d see your whole world crumble I despise the way your kingdom stands I despise the way your kingdom stands

Mammon 04:28
What I need What I need What I need What I need What I need to survive is a limited supply But my desire’s a fountain that will never run dry Oh No I’d rather choke on my own greed Than bare thought of seeing my riches lost, After everything Oh No I’d rather choke on my own greed Then reconsider giving up on the treasures that I’ve chased so hard to seize I’d rather choke on my own greed I’d rather choke on my own greed I’ll take as much as I’d like from wherever I can, regardless I’d rip the whole world apart, before I miss out on a life this rich What I need to survive is a limited supply But my desire’s a fountain that will never run dry What I need to survive is far out of my mind But my wants are endless, if I can’t have it all, than who am I? Oh No I’d rather choke on my own greed Than bare thought of seeing my riches lost after everything it cost me Oh No no no I’d rather choke on my own greed Then reconsider giving up on the treasures that I’ve chased so hard to seize

Beelzebub 03:24
I can’t seem to fill my needs No matter how I medicate, I can not replicate The way it use to stir in me The feeling of total release But God do I want it When enough isn’t enough No I need it Between patience or self control, I’d rather die Feeding cravings with no satisfactions to find. I fill the spaces in my empty life with Addictions to sustenance in piles and piles A prisoner of famished spirit and mind Indulgence enough to crown me Lord of the flies I know exactly what I am But I’m here for more, and that’s where I’ll make my stand I feel it around me The urge to get lost in a feeding frenzy A love that’s turned rotten now feeds on my mind Just the sight makes me nauseous But I’m starving inside I’ve since lost all love For a taste once so sweet I devoured it all Now the smell sickens me Please, I’m drowning in pleasure, completely tethered to filling a void inside I can’t relinquish the urge to feast upon anything that makes me feel alive I’ll take anything that makes me feel alive Oh I’ll take anything that makes me feel alive God damn, someone get this man a fucking smoke No I need it Between patience or self control, I’d rather die Feeding cravings with no satisfactions to find. I fill the spaces in my empty life With Addictions enough to crown me Lord of the flies I can’t wait I can’t wait, for when I sink my teeth Deep inside the only that things that ever make me feel at peace I can’t wait, Imma lose my self control I can find that escape anywhere, no one ever has to know I can’t wait

Belphegor 02:36
Wait wait wait… I am by no means trying to say it’s the best riff ever.. I’m just saying 1s and 0s are kind of dope Oh I’m not gonna make it Giving into pity's seduction If no one else will, I’ll be my own destruction I linger with no sense of urgency I wouldn’t make it if you fucking carried me I wouldn’t make it if you fucking carried me Shallow in every single thing I wouldn’t make it if you fucking carried me I’m not gonna make it I’m not gonna make it I’d choose to do nothing at all as my life flies right past me (I’m not gonna make it) As I bask in my sorrows, clutching to the echoes (I’m not gonna make it) When the time comes to get off my back I’d do nothing When I'm face to face with what I lack I’d do nothing Knowing my future holds no weight at the end of the day, as I waste it away I’m worthless in my own way And that’s exactly where I’ll stay You’ll find me incredibly complacent with failure and misery I’m in no rush to get that weight off of me Give into pity's seduction If no one else will, I’ll be my own destruction Given the options. I’d do nothing

Satan 09:01
Fueling the demon boiling the blood in my veins doing my best to contain in vain But everyone around me is breaking down my chains Subject to become victims of my pain Who is at fault for the injustice Disdain, frustration and senseless madness Refusing to show the fear raging inside of me Unraveling the vulnerable edges of my agony The worst part, Is the sickening world that has charred my heart The saints and the sinners all tearing me apart Debilitating regret turned to hate Replacing the morrow in my bones and the blood in my veins I’m out of patience, and you’re all out of time I’ve lost my nerve and you’re the only thing standing in my sights Lost in a frenzy, seeking vengeance and relief Say your prayers, speak your peace, but I’m officially in too deep Don’t let the terror hide you Let loose the pain Don’t try to fight to see the light You stand up and own your rage Own your rage Own your rage And why take the time to beg for forgiveness When I beg I lose it again, God as my witness There's no justice in waiting for it to settle and sedate I leave no trace but broken pieces and ashes in my wake Still I struggle finding why I feel this way Taking time to reflect and ask for change after its too late You want change? You’re too late The worst part, Is the sickening world that has charred my heart The saints and the sinners all tearing me apart Debilitating regret turned to hate Replacing the morrow in my bones and the blood in my veins I’m out of patience, and you’re all out of time I’ve lost my nerve and you’re the only thing standing in my sights Lost in a frenzy, seeking vengeance and relief Say your prayers, speak your peace, but I’m officially in too deep I don’t even recognize me I don’t even recognize me I don’t even recognize me Regardless of what I do, no matter where I invoke the thought, I can feel the wrath start to clot My angels left me to suffer through, while inside me anger grew Everytime I think I’m getting better my world starts to black out I can’t keep fighting a losing battle at this point I’d settle for peace with myself Stand up and own your rage Stand the fuck up and own your rage Stand up and own your rage The worst part, Is the sickening world that has charred my heart You’re the only thing standing in my sights Debilitating regret turned to hate Say your prayers, speak your peace, but I’m officially in too deep I was told, that peace should be easy Now I know being soft doesn’t fit me Fucking release me Watch the hope and life leave my eyes Fucking release me As the demon confide comes alive I don’t know where I draw my hate Ungracefully, I violently pave my way And why take the leap to exercise my rite My fury is here to stay, hell can fucking have me Nothing but endless rage Nothing but endless rage Fueling the demon Boiling the blood in my veins doing my best to contain in vain (Nothing but endless rage) But everyone around me is Breaking down my chains Subject to become victims of my pain (Nothing but endless rage) Fueling the demon Boiling the blood in my veins doing my best to contain in vain (Nothing but endless rage) But everyone around me is Breaking down my chains Subject to become victims of my pain (Nothing but endless rage) Nothing but endless rage Nothing but endless rage Nothing but endless rage Nothing but endless rage
