Annihilate!
♪
The commotion breeding the perverse
For bloodbath is on your doorstep
A mass impending threat
The perfection of religion becoming our death
Do not respond blindly
To growing gardens in decay
Stand guard when visitors fall silent
Blow the candles out, end the road here
End the road here
No solace will be found
Within elements of the tribe
When covered with filth from all sides
Compassion will fail
Their promises are honoured
In a mind controlled state
The absence of reality, reason and logic
Prove failure of faith
Prove failure of faith
Enriched by the presence of its clarity
Darkness descends, everyone dies
No solace will be found
Within elements of the tribe
When covered with filth from all sides
Compassion will fail
Their promises are honoured
In a mind controlled state
The absence of reality, reason and logic
Prove failure of faith
Satan was there
Satan was real to them
Satan called himself a God
For wisdom aligns in our favour
Illuminated before our eyes
(Uncover) a new beginning, the inevitable dawn
Justice will be given where justice is due
And guide the righteous ones back to the final resting ground
To perceive the truly hellbound
Demonstrate superiority
A grand gesture of liberation need no judge or jury
Demons rate inferiority
Scatter the remains of the prey
Do not respond blindly
To growing gardens in decay
Stand guard when visitors fall silent
Blow the candles out, end the road here
Uncover a new beginning, the inevitable dawn
Justice will be given where justice is due
And guide the righteous ones back to the final resting ground
To perceive the truly hellbound
