Lyrics:
In the dark, the ignorant hid
But then my glory could not be spread
Darkness no more
By my hands, the light is revealed
In this light see the non-believers
How they reject, my holy words
Darkness no more
Cleanse in the light of my holy fire
Righteous slaughter
For your gods
Makes me wonder
Is it ever worth it
Righteous slaughter
For your gods
Makes me wonder
Will there be an end
In my dreams, I see
A world devoid of
Deified belief
This world outside that
Takes your words to breathe
Will tear itself apart
Wish I could sleep
And wake up to that dream
On the ground, the foolish apes lived
To these wretches, I sell purpose
Darkness no more
My will shall be done
In glory now ride forth
Spread these words with blood on your tongue
Darkness no more
Those who reject will know their folly
Righteous slaughter
For your gods
Makes me wonder
Is it ever worth it?
Righteous slaughter
For your gods
Makes me wonder
Will there be an end
In my dreams, I see
A world devoid of
Deified belief
This world outside that
Takes your words to breathe
Will tear itself apart
Wish I could sleep
And wake up to that dream
Through my words, see what has grown
Assimilate those not our own
I breathe life into your self-destructive mission
This darkened heart of man reveals
A noxious dream, twisted ideals
I breathe life into your distorted vision
Sheep of the flock
Congregate in the clothing of wolves
Feast upon those of our stock
Tell me how it's worth it
In my dreams, I see
(In spite of all I've seen)
A world devoid of
Deified belief
(You ask me to believe)
This world outside that
Takes your words to breathe
(Faith outweighed by the cost)
Will tear itself apart
Wish I could sleep
(Revel in traces lost)
And wake up to that dream
Why only a dream
