Carnifex lyrics

I gaze into the bleak faces

The crooked figures coming around here to die

On Golgatha-Hill I reside

And crucify them



There's one amongst them who was living in vain

The King of Jews is now a King of Pain



First they brought you incense and gold

Now they bring you hammer and nails

On a ross ends redemption foretold

The reign of God is a kingdom which fails

I'm your demise

Emperor of lies!



I drink the wine of fear from your eyes

As I lift my hammer up high

And feast on your pitiful cry

With my first nail



The only way to salvage your soul

Is self-sacrifice, that's what you preach

Now I grant you the best chance to teach it

The jackals and ravens



You told your followers about your kingdom above

The first four metres you're already aloft!



Now I've taken your blood and your flesh

And hung it up high in the wind

Now would you please forgive me my sins

As you have promised?



Oh you glorious ruler benign

Tied and fastened in your kingdom up high

Bless your followers with arms opened wide

And perish forever!
