Altar Blood - Embers Of Lyrics

Waste no darkness, we have the after light
Wooden crosses, pyres immaculate glow
100 years standing (Yet) fallen in one night
Bible means nothing, empty words of dead men
Hail! Hail! Fire! Fire! In seconds, structure engulfed
Red cinders kiss the black veil, crumbled steeple falls to hell
New dawn approaching and the smoke has cleared
Sundays are dead and the serpent is near

Gore filled gospels, stench filled nostrils
With lies and malice he stacks the pews
Mocking the sermons, killing the vermin
Antioch burns tonight
We watch the fire and we rejoice
For it is our choice for he has no voice
Were only heathens in this night
Gazing upon unholy light

Terror jackals ripping prey, once the flock was lead astray
Never one to obey, I control my fate
Holy man upon his knees begging for forgiveness please
Revelations plays out mentally
Smoldering salvation, embers fall on my tongue
Retribution's price is divine
Promised land you promised me the flaming fields of prophecy
Set ablaze your sanctuary

Laying to waste your symbol of lies
Upon the cross is where your religion can die
Unanswered prayers because no one can hear your cries
Contorting truths for the hope of an afterlife
Its burning down

Terror jackals ripping prey, once the flock was lead astray
Never one to obey, I control my fate
Holy man upon his knees begging for forgiveness please
Revelations plays out mentally
Smoldering salvation, embers fall on my tongue
Retribution's price is divine
Promised land you promised me the flaming fields of prophecy
Set ablaze your sanctuary

Cleansing the earth of your worthless existence
You feel the fires from hell absolve your pestilence
We've endured centuries of keeping the plebeians ignorant
Receiving gifts of the infernal sacrament

Flesh to ash, seared in gas
Bodies impaled by the stained glass
Free at last
Will you repent as you pass

Embers of the last chapel
Consecrated as it falls
Embers of the last chapel
Through the carnage you shall crawl
Fall
