Lyrics
Taste of condemnation, your nerves ablaze.
Your iron will, bent to my name.
Bend, fall, writhe, human swine.
I am all, I am divine.
Infinite cosmos all at my disposal, I speak and the planets divide.
Legions of angels and demons alike all bow at the foot of my throne,
I am divine.
Bite your tongue, your pitiful words aren’t enough.
Pay with your eyes.
My offering, a sacrifice, eternal life incentivized, your spirit is flawed by design.
Nerves set ablaze, fear on your mind.
Drink of my sins, blood and wine.
Clench your jaw and smile wide.
Sick and wretched, I made you in my fucking image.
You all will bow at my feet.
My offering, a sacrifice, eternal life incentivized.
Hell is waiting for all humankind and I will watch you burn forever
Lest you pay with your fucking eyes.
Bend, fall, writhe, human swine.
I am all, I am divine.
Infinite cosmos all at my disposal, I speak and the planets divide.
Legions of angels and demons alike all bow at the foot of my throne,
I am divine.
Come unto me, sick and wretched. Drink of my sins and taste condemnation.
Come unto me, sick and wretched. Drink of my sins and taste of your damnation.
Taste of condemnation.
Come unto me, sick and fucking wretched.
I am god, I am life. I am sin, evil divine.
(Drink of my sins, blood and wine)
Infinite cosmos all at my disposal, I speak and the planets divide.
(Clench your jaw and smile wide)
Legions of angels and demons alike all bow at the foot of my throne,
I am divine.
Vicious Shred
