[Verse 1]
I embrace the darkness within
Forever serve beneath its hand
Horrid thoughts that surface to me
Ceremony bloods command
I will live through this forever
I have done the things you grieve
As you kneel before its evil
Death is here deep inside you
[Chorus 1]
Skinned alive, now naked
Terrorized, no humanity
Seek salvation from an MIA god
Empty vessels chanting for your death
[Verse 2]
Walk the streets beneath the shadows
Searching for a cryptic bride
Eat alive the conscience I hate
Without pain, I watch you die
I will live through this forever
I have done the things you grieve
As you kneel before its evil
My face is the last you'll see
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Soaked in blood, the mask you wear
Haunting cries, the dead scream for me
Staring eyes invoke no guilt
I can taste your mind, you're lifeless
[Chorus 2]
Face the dead and dying
Feel your life drain through your soul
Seek salvation from an MIA god
Empty vessels chanting for the dead
[Lead - King]
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Death is yours, your veins have dried
Staring eyes of glass, now empty
Still, you speak with lips so cold
In my head, I hear you cry
[Chorus 3]
God is dead, can't save me
Taking lives with impunity
Resurrection of a deviant Christ
