Faith in Decay

Awakened from sleep in the dead of the night in an old monastary where you spend your life

Flesh quickly touches the blade of the knife

The broken silence shrieks in delight

Adorned in tattered robes, faith in decay

While you're chanting the words that you must say

Dead things on the altar wait and remain as you quickly fall on your weak knees and pray



Mental constructions haunting your mind

Ritual sin for the soul you must bind.

Dove feathers stick to the blood on your wrist

The vampiric bite of a heavenly kiss



The children cry

The choirs sigh

All the while being crucified

Stigmatic plague in your mind

All the while being crucified

The words of Christ turned into lies.

All the while being crucified

Look at the world through my eyes

All the while being crucified



Your god watches you bleed as you stare at the sky

Left lying alone questioning why

No salvation for you after you die

Imagine redemption as you close your eyes



The children cry

The choirs sigh

All the while being crucified

Stigmatic plague in your mind

All the while being crucified

The words of Christ turned into lies

All the while being crucified

Look at the world through my eyes

All the while being crucified
