You've been invaded
Your laws remain
Upon the land you'll stake your claim
But a broken sword you'll swing
Your crown I've cracked
And your captives I have set free
Unmasked and overthrown
Disarmed and dethroned
Here I stand
That's your blood on my hands
Here I stand
Leviathan's blood in the sand
I put a hook in your mouth
Your arrogance is bound
In the depths of the sea
Face to face in the last enemy
Every lie I'll repay
Your last word will be my name
'Lord' is the final word that you'll hallow
When my boot crushes through your skull
But for now you will swim
Always chasing the scent
You'll chase the scent
Chase the scent
Of your own blood
Here I stand
Take my hand
And watch us rise
Your citizens become my bride
I leave you nothing to weaponize
Your citizens become my bride
Your captives I have set free
They give faith
They pledge faith
They put their faith in me
You've been invaded
Your laws remain
Upon the land you'll stake your claim
But a broken sword you'll swing
Your crown I've cracked
And your captives I have set free
You've been invaded
By my bride
You've been invaded
The destroyer of gods
And the terror of kings

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem
I'd give my life for you
Your Herods and your Caesars
I'd bleed them dry for you
If you'd only known me when
Back when I was young
Back when I was strong
My name was feared
And my tongue was fierce
But now those days are gone
I am my father's son
And I'd make your kingdom come
If you'd only known me when
I am my father's son
Jerusalem, O Jerusalem
I am my father's son
Jerusalem, O Jerusalem
If you'd only known me when
"Son of the father
you stand accused
Of violence and treason
By order of the lord
You we will execute"
Choke and die
On your words, you lie
For freedom for justice
I spill Roman blood
Please, take my life
And these stones will cry
These stones will cry
These stones they cry
"Of these two you must choose
One is a murderer
The other
The king of the Jews"
Like a dead man returned to life
I am the martyr who could not
Die
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem
If you'd only known me when
"Give us Barabbas"

You will never forget my name
I am the first cut I determine the rule
I am the exception I determine the rule
And I'll make citizens of you yet
I'll make citizens of you yet
I'll civilize you yet
Civilize you
I will civilize you
Civilize you
Not the lack of a better word
How could it be any other way?
Call me your god but by another name
By any other name
You'll never forget my
Call me a god
But by another name

Decreation (demo)

Meet me where the mountains reach the sea
Where the earth and the sky collapse
Into a single horizon
Find me where darkness hides all sight
Where the sun and moon collide
To extinguish all light
I will question you
You will answer me
I am mythic
It is me you will fear
In silence you cower
Answer me if you dare
I am mythic
I challenge the gods
I trample on kings
I am the one who will judge
Every lie on your forked tongues
We are the wolves at your gate
Your scapegoats come home
We desecrate your altars
We tear down your thrones
We will eat your flesh
We will drink your blood
We are
The wolves at your gate
Desecrate your altars
We tear down your thrones
We are
The dogs begging for more
And I will eat every crumb
As it falls to the floor

Warmonger (demo)

This is not an end
We've no love for the pain and the suffering
Will not scream out of hate
Will not feed the death
It's dying
When the tyrant is dead
And the flag is raised
What of the lovers of war?
When there's no one left to kill?
Warmonger, where is your will?
Warmonger, you'll have your fill
When the mountains shake
And the earth quakes
You'll pray to the rocks
And you'll hide in their wake
This is our resistance
Outcry born of duress
As long as death is still breathing
There will still be a reason to scream
This is not an end
One day this will end

Night (demo)

Never will I forget that night
The first night
That turned whole my life
Into one long night
Seven times sealed
Never forget that night
Never forget the faces
Bodies ignited under a silent sky
Never forget the smoke
Never forget the flames
That consumed faith
And forever deprived me of the will to live
Murdered my God
And killed my soul
And turned my dreams to ashes
I will never forget that night
Even if I am condemned
To live as long as God Himself
Never
Seven times sealed
Adapted from Elie Wiesel, Night (1982, p. 32)

I didn't come to tread lightly 'round the mortal god beneath
I didn't come to tread lightly; seen Leviathan's teeth
The Stockholm Syndrome of civil religion
If a god is what you need then a god is what you'll feed
They're ghosts in the machine
The flag and the creed
Put your faith in me
I didn't come bend the knee
I came to stand
God without being, god without life
Leviathan swarms and demands sacrifice
Priests and kings both bow before
The only thing life guarantees
Hail the mortal god
We the people, destroyer of worlds
We the people, am death become
Life makes survivors of us all
Your hunger for glory
Bloodlust for fame
You thirst for greatness
But the world will forget your name
Mortal god
The world will forget your name
