lyrics

I am not your slave
I will never fall and pray
To a god that's full of hate
To the master of all slaves
You cannot decide my fate
And my life you can't dictate
And I refuse to obey
I will not endure one page
You're a forgiver or rape
Heaven is home for evil saints
And upon the pearly gates
"For all sinners" it should say
We are fighting for the slaves
No one can tell you what to say
Don't have to live a certain way
From now on Satan shall reign

This is our gospel
Our scripture set in stone
As the bible pages burn
A new one shall be born
And as the angels cry
Your crucifix shall fall
Inverted, it shall reign
Our cross stands tall!

The blood of Christ is the worthless
As it spills into my grail
Your savior is false
Religion is lost
There's nothing worth praising in your upstanding cross
My soul is pure of any false redemption
My honor lies in the true lord
Follow me into the night
I will show you
All of the unholy rites
And virtues
Leave behind the light
Embrace the truth
Spill the holy wine
And eat the fruit
You don't have to be a slave
Of sorrow
I hold the key to your chains
Just follow
Me and I'll show you the way
Of Moloch
WE SHALL OVERTHROW YOUR GOD


This is our gospel
Our scripture set in stone
As the bible pages burn
A new one shall be born
And as the angels cry
Your crucifix shall fall
Inverted, it shall reign
Our cross stands tall!

As I stand upon your altar
I can say no words of praise
And I stand before your body
Son of the God of disgrace
Let his body now be broken
Let the blood of Christ be spilled
He has not put down the mighty
And the hungry are not filled
Prove yourself to us, Messiah
Come to earth and reign once more
Heal the sick and fill the hungry,
Raise the dead and feed the poor
You are not our true salvation
All you've done is fool us all
So now your grave is turned over
And now our cross stands tall

Hear my voice and call it splendor
