Tracks



01. Subnormal

You're no use to man, born with half a brain
A total waste of life, misery making being
Destruction at birth would have been the best
For you and your family, the doctors whose time you waste

A wasted human shell
Controlled by half a brain
No use to mankind
A complete and total waste...
Subnormal

Crying in your bed, waking in the night
Mother is distraught, by your uselessness
You will never work, a weight around their neck
She wishes you were dead, for her that would be best

A wasted human shell
Controlled by half a brain
No use to mankind
A complete and total waste...
Subnormal

"With luck you'll die young," he's thinking to himself
Hoping for your death by life consuming disease

Father takes no pride in his useless son
Nothing to be proud, a wasted human shell
"With luck you'll die young," he's thinking to himself
Hoping for your death by life consuming disease

02. Sentenced By Pilate

Who is this man before me and what crime has he done?
Do you want me to free him or let Barabas run?
Barabas is a murderer, an evil man, a thief
Yet you want me to destroy Jesus to satisfy your belief

Chorus:
Live or will he die
Sentenced by Pilate, we'll crucify

When I give you this man Barabas will be freed
Then you're free to kill Christ for your bloodthirsty creed
The cross is ready and prepared for him to be slain
I know that you will mutilate and let him die in pain

Live or will he die
Sentenced by Pilate, we'll crucify

I have washed my hands of him, now he is all yours

It is none of my doing that Jesus Christ is dead
Forgive me father in Heaven, give me my daily bread
If I had done what was right my life would be lost
Jesus Christ would have lived and I'd be nailed to the cross

Live or will he die
Sentenced by Pilate, we'll crucify

Who is this man before me and what crime has he done?
Do you want me to free him or let Barabas run?
Barabas is a murderer, an evil man, a thief
Yet you want me to destroy Jesus to satisfy your belief

Live or will he die
Sentenced by Pilate, we'll crucify

We'll crucify!

03. Genetic Deformity

Unable to see, unable to hear
Your whole life is lived in fear
Weakened arms, sickly legs
A useless being of no consequence
Might as well have been drowned
For all your use on this earth
A waste of money, waste of time
To put you to death should be no crime

Genetic deformity, useless life
You should die by poison knife
Genetic deformity, you're no god
Poison knife will draw your blood

Crumpled up, people think you're fun
They don't know you're hated son
A burden on the family ties
They say they love you - it's all lies
They would like to see you dead
Suffocate you in your bed
One dark night you'll meet your fate
Until then a long slow wait

Genetic deformity, useless life
You should die by poison knife
Genetic deformity, you're no god
Poison knife will draw your blood

The night arrives, your father comes
Plunges the knife into your lungs
You're in pain, start to scream
Blood and guts cover the sheets
The death of an unwanted child
The fury of a father
You'll go to Hell you useless thing
Where you'll pay for your father's sin

04. Die On The Cross

Now the sentenced has been passed, death will soon be here
The time has come for him to die, his face tormented fear
Pilate washed his hands of him, nothing can be done
To stop the anti-Christians having their evil fun

Marching on to Calgary, the cross digs in his back
He knows that there is no return, he cannot resist attack
Blood is pouring from the wounds where the whip has bitten
His eyes show the pain he's in, the people by death smitten

You will die on the cross
When the time is right
You will die on the cross
Hang by day and by night

Waiting on the route of death, the baying, chanting crowd
Spit on him as he walks by and defilate the shroud
On ahead at Calgary the thorns and nails await
To be forced in through his wrists, driven in by hate

You will die on the cross
When the time is right
You will die on the cross
Hang by day and by night

Die Christ, in pain, nailed to wood
From skulls of apostles we drink his blood

A thorn crown is forced on his head
A spear enters his lung - he is dead

Hanging still on the cross, blood falls to the earth
His father sent him down to save, has it been his worth?
A lonely figure on the hill, nailed onto a pole
Will the Holy Ghost descend to take his blackened soul?

You will die on the cross
When the time is right
You will die on the cross
Hang by day and by night
Die on the cross, die on the cross, die on the cross

You will die on the cross

05. Inquisition

Hunter and hunted gasping for breath, the inquisitors closing in
Crimes against church and crimes against crown are your deadly sins
Surrounded by many, protected by few, you throw your weapons to the ground
You feel like a fox at the end of a hunt, wishing that you were the hound

Chorus:
Pathetic and wounded on your knees, what can you say
To the evil inquisitors of Auto de la Fe?

Bound and gagged, roughly treated, taken to your cell
Where body and mind are tortured in your private hell
Waiting for your day of death, wishing it to arrive
Who said there'd be Purgatory while you're still alive

Pathetic and wounded on your knees, what can you say
To the evil inquisitors of Auto de la Fe?

A thousand cuts shred your skin, writhing on the ground
A tourniquet crushes your neck, eyes blood-swollen round
Your brain explodes, death is here, not a moment soon
Travel to your heretic master, Hell's piper calls your tune

06. Frozen Mind

Torment in your brain
You won't feel much pain
Numbness setting in
But you won't give in
Evil all around
Menace you have found
Destroyed, brain death
No remorse, nothing left

Hatred for mankind
Seize your frozen mind
Uncontrolled despair
Killing without care

Crawling through your mind
Terror you will find
Anguish, ripping flesh
Torture, Satan's blessed
Trying to get free
Ray of hope you will see
No chance, death is chosen
Decayed brain, your mind is frozen

Hatred for mankind
Seize your frozen mind
Uncontrolled despair
Killing without care

Torment in your brain
You won't feel much pain
Numbness setting in
But you won't give in
Evil all around
Menace you have found
Destroyed, brain death
No remorse, nothing left

Hatred for mankind
Seize your frozen mind
Uncontrolled despair
Killing without care

Hatred for mankind
Seize your frozen mind
Uncontrolled despair
Killing without care

Crawling through your mind
Terror you will find
Anguish, ripping flesh
Torture, Satan's blessed
Trying to get free
Ray of hope you will see
No chance, death is chosen
Decayed brain, your mind is frozen

Hatred for mankind
Seize your frozen mind
Uncontrolled despair
Killing without care

07. Black Bible

Turn the pages of evil
Read with ill intent
To spread this deadly gospel
We unholy are sent

Life to us is meaningless
Death is what we need
Don't be kind and generous
Turn to hate and greed

Within these evil pages
Death not life is found
Tales of pain and torture
All of these are bound

Read the words within here
Defy the holy lord
Listen to us, cause death
Spread the evil word
Don't be frightened by the church
That's just what they want
Smash their crosses and statues
Destroy the holy front

Within these evil pages
Death not life is found
Tales of pain and torture
All of these are bound

Now that you are with us
Help us in our quest
To rid the world of goodness
Wipe out the kindly rest
Brutalize the Bible classes
One by one attack
But leave them be in dark peace
If the Bible is black

08. Suicide

Manic depression, your mind's a blank
Ready and waiting to die
No future, your life's a waste
Which method of suicide to try?
Hanging is quick and easy
No mess and no blood to see
Slashed wrists, no reverse
Which way will it be?

Suicide, you'll take your life
Death comes so quick
Suicide, you're on your own
With your life you are sick

Drowning takes its time
You might try to survive
Gassing, slow and cold
Sickness before you die
O.D., slow torment
Torture and pain will increase
Injection, instant death
A second and you are deceased

Suicide, you'll take your life
Death comes so quick
Suicide, you're on your own
With your life you are sick

You've chosen injection
Needle pierces the skin
Venom flows, it's now too late
A voice screams out from within
A wasted life, a wasted brain
Diseased cells called for the kill
You're on your way to Hell's black gate
Suicide beats life's will

Manic depression, your mind's a blank
Ready and waiting to die
No future, your life's a waste
Which method of suicide to try?
Hanging is quick and easy
No mess and no blood to see
Slashed wrists, no reverse
Which way will it be?

Suicide, you'll take your life
Death comes so quick
Suicide, you're on your own
With your life you are sick

09. Massacre Of The Priests

Join us now with all your wrath
Help destroy men of the cloth
Plaster gods that mean nothing
We must change everything

They must all be destroyed
All of their life devoid
They must be laid to rest
For Christ the final test

Annihilate the brethren of Christ, butcher them, have fun
Smash their skull and maim them, rip them 'til we've won
Destroy the plaster images of the so-called holy son
Burn their buildings to the ground, the killing has begun

Dismember
Mutilate
Slaughter
And kill

Massacre of the priests
They just try to deceive us
Massacre of the priests
Kill the Christ believers

Attack, destroy and desecrate, it's what they all deserve
Bring them to their knees and pray to the one we serve
Once allegiance has been vowed, their mutilated heads
Shall be hung for all to see and warn the holy undead

Dismember
Mutilate
Slaughter
And kill

Massacre of the priests
They just try to deceive us
Massacre of the priests
Kill the Christ believers

The priests are dead!
