lyrics

(Verse)
You bring your vices like vipers to the table to be held
Your image of God asleep on the cold ground, you'll never know heaven cause you grew to love the warmth of hell

(Heavy)
Oh brothers and sisters, follow me to the slaughter!
If the persecution don't come natural, let's be martyrs,

Without the shedding of blood there will be no remission,
So empty your pockets and sacrifice for the mission!

The shepherd who sold out the ninety nine for the one,
Thirty pieces of silver can buy a cleared corruption,

So pay up! Pay up! Indulge your lovers,
Give god his due with your blood, my sisters and brothers!

(Chorus)
The power infinite,
I wield in Your Name
(My judgment is gravity,
And it's going to fall like rain)
We play god, play games,
And pick who's to blame
(Corrupting the children,
You'll find yourself cast into the waves)
Trigger the violence,
No persons just personal gains
(Made in my image,
Sovereignty supersedes blame)
We stand up on the necks of the ones we're to save
(I'll cut your tongue out and give you a recompense taste).

(Verse)
Now lead your lambs to the slaughter, my sons and my daughters,
Sacrifice for provision, we're on a mission, just trust in me and I'll feed all our derisions,

(Heavy)
The challenge we face is not a mountain to be surpassed,
Rather a test of faith to prove what we don't know we lack,

No light for growth so we break these feeble bones,
And cry to sky that should be empty and alone,

Corrupt our own ways and claim the victory,
The purest strain of hate is found in misery,

No love was lost on our lips for our sons and daughters,
The children of loss as we sink to the bottom.

(Chorus)
